  • Quotes
    [on adapting "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" for the stage] I discovered at once that playwrights are of no importance whatsoever when it comes to rehearsals. They are merely necessary evils. Why, they cut out--very courteously, I confess--my most cherished scene of pathos, and clamored for "fourteen laughs" in its place.
