looking hallway nenr 8th nnd Christian
streets nnd cuddled up on It for tho night.
Occupants of tho house, unaware of tho
presence of the new boarder, took quick
flip Hops over the tablo In the dark as they
came downstairs In a hurry, but none
paused to Investigate. Several of the ten
ants told Policeman Frledenburg that a
bandit with two revolvers was holding peo
ple up In the hallway and knocking them
down with brans knuckles.
The cp hastened to the placo and found
Louie snoring peacefully atop the table. He
was conktderably annoyed at being awak
ened. On being Informed that he was under
arrest, Loulo "came to" quickly and darted
out of tho hallway like a Hash. Tho cop
caught him after a chnso and brought him
before Magistrate, Imber at tho 2d and
Christian streotH station,,
Louie was amazed on hoarlng about tho
excitement caused by his hallway nap. Ho
admitted that ho found the table In front
of the' Btore and confessed to carrying It
along as e lodging house.
As the tablo was found In the hallway
where It was left, Isaac Matikln, Its owner,
did not press any charge against the pris
oner, and after some good advice from the
"Judge," he was discharged.

Ico and snow wore not Infrequent, and crops
were destroyed by tho severe weather.

IP YOt; have ft gift for writing comedy
situations you should encourago It, but
It Is not welt to attempt comedy seriously
until you have learned tho photoplay re
quroments of the serious drama. You must
learn ilrst what will rcoMer, what will
0t over on the screen. Having learned
this, about four out of every rive Ideas that
you have for comedies will be discarded
at once.
So many writers have the Idea that com
edy consists In tho leading man kicking
another man In tho face, or In having n
fleshy woman sit on the professor's high
silk hat, or somebody otse getting a custard
plo In the face. Even In slap-stick this
does not go, unless thero Is a reason for It.
It requires Just as much logic to write n
comedy as It does to construct a drama.
Sometimes It demands oven more.
A wclt'known company, which specializes
In farce comedies, plays all other characters
in the comedy straight, except tho comedian
or comedians, as tho case may be, They
realize the Importance of balance. Among
a number of logical characters they place
the Illogical one.
It has been said of O, Henry that, In
writing his famous short stories, he made
everything logical, natural, consistent and
human with tho exception of ono charac
ter nr Idea. He rolled for his "punch"
upon tho Illogical streak In all of us.
In writing farco comedy thore must be
logic above everything elso. There Is noth
ing very funny In seeing a man knock
another man down, even If he does It In a
comedy way, if (here is no reason for his
doing so. Tho, situation becomes repulslvo
If It Is a woman who Is knocked down.
If tho comedian attempts to knock a man
down, and the man for whom tho blow
In Intended avoids It. with the result that
the woman Is knocked down. It may bring
a laugh, providing the whole scene Is
played in a true comedy vein.
If we nnalyza the situation, two reasons
appear and explain tha humor to he found
In tho last example. One In surprise and
tho other Is lack of Intention. Tho come
dian never meant to knock the woman
down and the man for whom the blow
was Intended In ducking merely did so
to save himself. If the comedian had In
tended tn knock tho woman down, sub
consciously wo would havo revolted at the
thought. As It Is, aha is the innocent by
stander, nnd when the Innocent bystander
gets It we usually laugh.
Tho surprise takes us unawares, and we
find ourselves laughing In splta of our
selves, An air of probability must pervado
tho slap-stick comedy even as It does the
serious drama.
If you moko nil your characters come
dians you lose, not alone In contrast, but
also In probability. If your characters run
around as though they had Just escaped
from nn asylum there Is very little comedy.
Tho forco of tho situations In lost nnd the
audlcnco finds the play nltogothor dull.
Subconsciously tho uudlcnce realizes that
ono or two of your characters aro abnormal
nnd eccentric, but they aro Inclined to over
look tho eccentricities of your comedian.
Contrast Is absolutely necessary to influence
tho audience to bear with you until tho close
of your farce. It Is the "luralght" charac
ters that carry tho play; they tell your
story.
It Is almost lmposslblo to write a full
scenario for a force comedy unless you nro
connected with a studio atarf. Write a com
prehensive synopsis of your slapstick and
weavo Into it all the comedy business that
you can think of that seems to bo original.
You can give thesa touches In detail, hut do
not attempt to put It In scene or scenario
form.
Little bits of Incidental business will be
conceived by the director when ho comes
to take the scene and an entire new trend
of tho story may bo develooed. One com-

pany within our experience offered tho
same synopsis to three different directors
who got three entirely different comedies
from It. Each director. In turn, broke ftway
from the original Idea, owing to changes
brought about by comedy business situa
tions developed extemporaneously.
In writing "straight" comedies, very
nearly tho same problems confront tho nu
thor ns In farce comedies. Thero mUBt be
the consistent, logical story and the com
edy situations. There Is ono difference that
It Is well to know. In farce, the comedian
plny In character throughout In straight
comedy tho comedian develops with tho
comedy elements.
Tomorrow wo will continue tho discus
sion of oomedy plays, with particular at
tention to development of suspensen slap

.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
T. It. R. A "fade" always occurs at
tho beginning or tho end of r itccno. You
"fado" In or your "fade" out You open
your Bccno gradually or you close It tho
same way. In tho middle of n scono It
Is almost never employed. Thero aro
times when a passage of tlmo occurs and
you wish to show a man wrestling with
a problem that you "fade out" nnd "fado
In" when ho has made his decision. Tho
transition thus Isn't as abrupt; but you
have two scenes when you do so. It Is
written ns two separate scenes and num
bered accordingly,
