Abstract
In this column, O'Brien proposes a Dramatic Author's Society and discusses why it is necessary. O'Brien discusses how a Dramatic Author's Society would ensure proper and fair compensation for playwrights, allowing for many to turn writing into a career and improving the quality of American theater while also making sure that writers are not cheated. O'Brien also argues that such a society is necessary for the enforcement of copyrights.
