WRITE PHOTOPLAYS
If you are gifted with an imaginative mind and the dramatic
tense; if you can conceive novel tituations, reconstruct old situations
in a novel manner and dramatize old plot in a new way; then, even
though you have had no previous literary training, you can learn to
write salable photoplays. Stamp-addressed envelope for particulars,

The busiest of busy beehhes In the locat
field of film activities wai yesterday, Is
today nnd will be tomnrrow the head
quarters of the Stanley Booking Company.
In the Palace Theatre Building. 1214 Mar
ket street For It Is tin weakling's task
lo look after nearly a hundred separnte
playhouses, the Interests of many of which
are divergent. If tiot conflicting, and not
onl soo that no such conflicts occur, but
that each rccelxes the p!ns ntul the pub
licity which will best serve them
Only n wonderfully effective and carc
fullv managed system, one which puts to
shame the far-famed anil much vatmled
Herman "kultur." makes it possible. The
casunl visitor to the headquarters might
een conceive that they were somnolent
and Inactive. There are no noises, no
shouted orders, no Mashing from nlllce to
oftlce, no discord nnd no contusion.
There are litany things to be done, but
there Is some ono to do each of them, and
that Rome one knows what that something
Is and docs It without display of fuss or
feathers
And In a far tear office, unseen except
by the few. holds forth the mainspring
nnd the brains of this rerfect nnd effect
ive entertainment nystem In the person of
President Stanley V. Mnslbauin, the young
man who rcxnlutlonlzed motion-picture en
tertainment In Philadelphia, developed
Ideas nnd built and conducted palatial
theatres on the strength of them and Ills
own confidence In his ivn system, backed
by the confidence of his associates In his
common sense and ability.
Stanley System has been the making of
the success achieved by Stanley Service.
Tho mantle of the Bijou Dream has

and cranny of the Princess, nnd the best
proof of this Is the dally crowds that are
attracted to this rejuvenated photoplay
theatre

that has been nttoined by the Victoria
Thentre. Tho quality of the programs,
tho beauty of the bouso and tho courteous
