Steers Clear Of Hollywood |

Author of 'Marco Dislikes High Pay.

Robert Emmet Sherwood, the migratory playwright, is off on another jaunt. Having first found drainatic fame with Hannibal on “The Road to Rome,” he recently headed eastward to ancient Cathay with “The Adventures of Marco Polo.” Movie patrons may follow the doughty Venetian's travels (with Gary Cooper as Marco) when the film arrives at Loew’s tomorrow.

Mr. Sherwood is one of America’s most successful playwrights and certainly its tallest. But in spite of the fact that part of his fame has come from work as author, adapter or collaborator on a dozen screen stories, he doesn’t like Hollywood. He gets paid too much.

“Easy money for little work,” says the dramatist, “is not conducive to anything creative. Undeniably there is a palpabie charm about such a condition—so much, in fact, that if I let myself fall prey to it for six, months, I'd never leave. But I want to create, and until I think I'm through I'll have little of Hollywood.”

Steers Clear of Hollywood

For his picture assignments, Mr. Sherwood insists that he spend but three or four weeks in Hollywood. Most of the work on these assignments is done in New York or England. When the scrip is ready for the finishing touches, he trusts himself to as few days in Hollywood, then hurries away. So if you ever hear that Robert Sherwood has seftled down in Hollywood with a long-term writing contract, you may know that the

The children’s aid part of the project is still under consideration. Eventual plans are to contribute to various institutions selected in a country-wide survey.
