Ladies "Fail to Register" on Jokes Written in Golf Jargon Says Frank Craven--To "Stick to" His Drama Form Comedy

"Tragedy has no appeal to me, comedy is my trade, and I intend to stick to that form of drama", asserted Frank Craven, 'who is playing in. "The 19th Hole" at the Hollis Theatre. "I have tried Shakespearean tragedies, and must say that I am not inclined toward them.

"I like comedy, especially the type in which I am playing now. It is meant for a small theatre, where the actors can be more intimate with the audience. When a contact of this kind is made, for some reason or the other the play always seems to go off much better.

"Of course, in a play like "The 19th Hole", in which there are some jokes which are based on golf jargon, a group of ladies might fail at first to register on some things, but for the most part they usually catch on a few minutes later.

"Speaking of golf, you have a good team over there at Harvard. Golf is certainly an interesting game; I play every time I get an opportunity. People often wonder why there is such a store of material for jokes in golf. I think that it is because golf has such a human side to it. Every one that plays, usually suffers his own particular ailment, and anyone watching him, who plays golf, feels sorry for him."

Asked how long he had been acting, he concluded by saying. "I have been acting and writing plays for twice as many years as most Harvard graduates have been living; figure it out for yourself."
