BAK SILVER
In, London bar silver was quoted at 30 15-16d..
and advance of 7-1 6d. over Saturday's price.
Commercial bar silver In Now York was
tooted at 04Hc, a sain of Tec.
1 Jiviut pnotoptoy, particularly In
feature pictures, there are various minor
characters, many of whom are concerned In
the counter-plot ntone, who have a direct
bearing on the main character. Consider nil
your characters as lay figures, disembodied
and colorless. 1'lck your principal charac
ter, whether It bo male or female lead. nn.
tcrmlno Just how you are going to plant this
character In your story t If the character Is
to bo n Southern girl or a girl of tho pra.
rles or a girl of tho slums, you must do
something more than plant her character
In a subtitle.
You may say "Joan Coleman, a young
Southern girl, whoso father owns a vast
Plantation." This subtitle or one similar
may bo necessary, but If on top of this you
do not show enough of the atmosphere of
the plnntntlon with Joan thoroughly a part
of this atmosphere, your story Is sure to
lack the convincing note necessary.
On tho other hand, we will suppose that
tho picture opens with tho nbove subtitle.
Wo show Joan coming, down tho steps of
hor pillared homo In riding clothe-,, getting
on her favorite horse and riding around tho
plantation. Wo show vnrlous scenes at tho
negro cabins. In the cotton fields and around
tho estate.
Tcrhnps In all these scenes wo have Joan
riding In and out. Surely hero wo havo
planted her as a Southern girl on a vast
estate, but In doing bo wo havo mlsHcd an
Important point; there la no reason for
her riding around tho place.
ThlB brings us to our second point. In
planting your characters with tho proper
atmosphero you must ndvnnce your story.
If this seems difficult, yob must search
for another opening to establish tho char
acter. There Is always a way to do It.
We will suppose, that your mnlo and
femalo lead, because of your Btory, are eas
ily established, and this Is generally tho
case. Tho difficulty lies In the other char
acters, who aid and abet tho two or thrco
leading characters. Tho question arlBes as
to Just how much space you can afford to
give for character development of minor
characters, and It Is hero that so many
writers blunder.
They allow subthemes or counter-plots
to run away .with their story, with tho re
sult thnt when wo say thero Is too much
plot In tho scenario, the writer Immcdlntel;.'
cuts down tho plot and not the counter
plots or subtheme.
It has been said that your story Is n
Btrong as your counter-plot, or, as a director
recently stated. It Is a good story If It has
a counter-plot. If this holds true, the con
verse of the proposition also holds true.
If you havo a fulrly good plot and no
counter-plot, your story will lack depth. If
you have an overabundance of counter-plot,
your plot Is lost sight of.
The counter-plot should never obtrude.
Your story rests on the plot, and If you have
a five-reel plot, you can make a five-reel
feature, but If you send In five reels of plot
and five reels of counter-plot, you havo a
ten-reel feature, which nobody wants.
Too much plot Is usually too much counter-plot,
or too much tlmo Is given to char
actor and atmosphere development. Don't
make writing scenarios such hard work.
Authors cudgel their brains trying to deter
mine when they have told enough. A book
length novel may contain Insufllclcnt mate
rial for a flvo-rcel feature, whereas a short
story or a one-act playlet may have more
than enough plot for featuro-plcture pur
poses. There Is no way to gauge length by
comparison.
If you have only a thread of a plot, and
this plot Is strong enough because of Its
uniqueness to make a feature picture, you
can then build your characters with greater
caro, introduce comedy and counter-plot
at length. A synopsis of a five-reel feature
picture may require only 300 words to tell
the whole story, or It may require 1G00
words. '
If you examine n short synopsis, you
will discover that the story Is probably
elemental In Its simplicity, which the counter-plot
barely touched upon. The chances
are that this story relies for Its strength
upon the uniqueness of the plot, whereas
longer synopses, very likely tell nn ordinary

The 1lfTcrence In the length of the two

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
IC. a. H. There arc many ways of
showing the net of eavesdropping. One of
tho simplest Is to keep the two people In
conversation at tho foreground nnd let the
third be seen, through tho half-opon door
Perhnpi n moro skilful method lo to make
tho audience familiar with the look of tho
door, show -tho conversation on ono side
of It, the eavesdropper approaching nt tho
other, then the conversation ngaln, with
tho door being slightly opened and then
closed (or bettor, pcrhnpsi a close-up of
the doorknob turning nnd the door open
ing Just to show tho cyo of tho person
behind), then, finally, a lew of tho In
truder listening on the other sldo of the
door. All action In pictures need not be
described, especially tho most obvious; but
tho moro vital and original nctlon you can
write In, tho better.
K. 13, O. A character ontcrlng or leav
ing a sceno does not constltuto n now scene.
That Is created by tho moving of tho
camera to another location.
A. II. 13. Thoro Is no fixed price for
scenarios. Somo companies pay ns high as
IOC for a one-reol script, others ns low as
$20, Tho price per reel usually ndvnnces

nnd gavo tho cow n meal of potatoes and
apples which wcro resting Idly ln baskets
Joe didn't tnko anything himself, and was
content to see that the cow wns happy.
As tho animal wns putting the finishing
touches on tho meal Joo lighted tho re
mains of a cigar and puffed In silence.
The proprietor of the store reminded Joo
that he had no right to distribute tho prop
erty of others and Kagan replied with a
burst of oratory about human nnd animal
rights, etc. Ho was only half finished
when n cop brought Joo before Magistrate
Harris. The cow followed mournfully and
waited outside.
Tho owner of tho provisions fixed tho
damage nt 21 cents, but Joo was financially
embarrnssed. Things wero looking serious
when the owner of tho cow arrived. ' Ho
readily paid for tho food consumed by ttio
cow and slipped Joo n quarter for his
kindness.
Tho Judge commendod Fngan for his
kindness to nnlmals, but suggested that in
future ho should obtain tho co-operation
of those whose food ho gives way to alloy
tho suffering of others.
And Joo was permitted to contlnuo his
campaign of good deeds.

"THE SPOILERS"
THE SON OF TARZAN
By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author of the Tnrznn Talcs
rilAPTnil XXVIII (Continued).
"QJHI3IK AMOn 11KN KHATOUn," an-
O nouncetl Ihe sergeant by wny of Intro
duction, Captain Jncot eyed tho newcomer. He
was acquainted with nearly every principal
Arab within a rndlus of several hundred
miles. This man he had never seen. Ho
wns h tall, weathcrbenten, sour-looking man
of 60 or more. His eyes wcro nnrrow nnd
evil, Captain Jncot did not relish his np
pea rn nee.
"Well'" he asked tentatively.
Tho Arab came directly to the point,
"Achmet ben Houdln Is my sister's son,"
ho said. "If you will glvo him Into my
keeping I will see thnt he sins no moro
ngalnst tho laws of the French,"
Jncot shook his head. "That ennnot be,"
he replied. "I muit take him back with me.
He will be properly and fairly tried by a
civil court. 11 ho Is Innocent he will bo
released."
"And IC he Is not Innocent?" nsked the
Arab
"Ho Is charged with many murders. For
any one of these. If ho Is proved guilty, he
will hnvc to die "
The Arab's left hand was hidden beneath
his Imi mooe. Now ho withdrew It, dis
closing a large goatskin purse, bulging nnd
heavy with coins. Ho opened the mouth
of the purse nnd let a handful of the con
tents trickle Into tho palm of his right
hnnd -all were pieces of good French gold.
From the size of tho purse nnd Its bulging
proportions Cnptnln Jaqot concluded that It
must rontnln a small fortune.
Sheik Armor ben Khatour dropped tho
spilled gold pieces one by one back Into tho
puiso. Ho drew the tic-strings tight All
the tlmo he was silent.
Jncot wiib eyeing him narrowly. They
wero alone. The sergeant, having Intro
duced tho visitor, had withdrawn to some
lltOe distance his back wns toward thorn.
Now tho sheik, having returned nil tho
gold pieces, held tho bulging purse out
ward upon his upon palm toward Captain
Jncot.
"Actnot ben Houdln, my sister's son,
might escape tonight." ho said, "nil?"
Captain Armand Jacot flushed to tho
roots of his close-cropped hair. Then ho
went very whlto nnd look a half step
toward tho Arab. His fists woro clenched.
Suddenly he thought better of whatever
Impulse was moving him.
"Sergeant !" ho called. Tho non-commls-slonud
ofllccr hurried toward htm, saluting
ns his heels clicked together beforo his
superior.
"Take this black dog back to his people,"
he ordered. "See that they leave nt once
Shoot the first man who comes within rnngo
of camp tonight."
Sheik Amor ben Khatour drew himself
up to his full height His ovll eyes nar
rowed. Ho raised tho bag of gold level
with the eyes of tho French ofllcer.
"You will pay more than this for tho
llfo of Achmet ben Houdln, my sister's
son," ho snarled. "And as much again for
the nnme thnt you havo called me, and a
hundredfold In sorroyv Into the bargain I"
"Oct out of hero," growled Cnptnln Ar
mand Jncot, "beforo I kick you out !"
All of this happened somo six years be
foro the opening of this tnle. The trial of
Achmet ben Houdln and his accomplices Is
a matter of record you may verify it If
you caro to. Ho met tho dentil ho deserved,
and ho met It with the stoicism of tho
Arab.
A month Inter llttlo Jeanne Jacot, tho
I -year-old daughter of Captain Armand
Jncat, mysteriously disappeared.
Neither tho wealth of her father and
mother nor nil the powerful resources of
tho great republic woro able to wrest tho
secret of her whereabouts from the In
scrutable desert that had swallowed her
and her abductor.
A reward of such enormous proportions
was offered that many adventurers wero
attracted to tho hunt, among them Jcnssen
nnd Malblhn. This -was no case for tho
modern dctectlvo of civilization, yet several
of theso threw themselves Into tho senrch
the bones of soma are bleaching beneath
the African sun upon the silent sands of
tho Sahara.
"I hnve come lo you." explained Oenerni
Jncot ns he concluded, "because our dear"
admiral tells me thnt "there Is no one In
nil the world who Is more Intimately ac
quainted with Central Africa than you,
"Vi'o did nil thnt love nnd money, and
even government resources, could do lo dls
cover her! but all to no avail. Her picture
was published In thft leading paper Of
every largo city of the world, yet never did
we find n man or woman who ever had seen
her since the day she disappeared.
"A week since there came to me In Paris
n swarthy Arab, who called himself Abdul
Knmak. Ho 'said that no had found my
(laughter nnd could lead me to her. I took
him nt onco to Admiral d'Arnot. who I
knew hnd traveled some In Cent rat Africa,
Tho man's story led tho admiral to believe
that the place where the white girl tha
Arab supposed to lie my daughter was held
In captivity was not far from yotlr African
estates, and he advised that I come at
once nnd cnlt upon you that you would
know If bucIi ft girl wcro In your neighbor
hood."
"What proof did the Arab bring that she
waa your daughter?" asked Lord Grey
stoke. "None," replied tho other. "That Is why
we thought best to contult you before or
ganizing ah expedition. The fellow had
only an old photograph of hc,r, on the back;
of, which was pnstod n newspaper cutting,
describing her nnd offering a reward. "We
feared that, hnvlng found this somewhere.
It had aroused his cupidity and lod Mm
to believe that In some way he could obtain
tho reward, possibly by foisting upon us a
whlto girl on tha chance thnt so many years
had clapsod that we would not ba able to
rccognlio nn Impostcr as such."
"Havo you tho photograph with you?"
asked Lord Qreystoke.
Tho genernl drew an -envelope from his
pocket, took a yellowed photogrnph from
It, nnd linndod It to tho Englishman. Tears
dimmed the old warrior's eyes as they felt
again Upon tho pictured features of his
lost daughter. ,
Lord arcystoko examined the photograph
for a moment. A queer expression entered
his eyes. Ho touched a bell at his elbow,
nnd an Instant later a footman entered.
"Ask my Bon's wife If sho will be so
good as .to coma to tho library," ho di
rected, Tho two men sat In silence. General
Jncot was too well bred to Bhow In any
way the chagrin nnd disappointment ha
folt In tho summary manner In which Lord
Oroystoko had dismissed tho subject of his
call As soon as the young lady' had come
nnd ho had been presented ho would make
his departure.
A moment Inter Merlcm entered.
Lord Oroystoko nnd General Jacot rose
and fnced her. The Englishman Bpoke
no word of Introduction he wanted to bos
tho effect of tho first sight of the girl's
fnco on tha Frenchman, for ha had a
theory, a heaven-born theory that had
lenped Into his mind the moment, his eyes
had rested on tho baby faco of Jeanne
Jacot,
General Jacot took one look at Merlem,
then ho turned toward Lord Grcystoke.
"How long have you known It?" he asked,
n trlflo accusingly,
"Slnco you showed me thnt photograph
a moment ngo," replied the Englishman.
"It Is she," sold Jacot, shaking with ,
suppressed emotion ; "but sho does not
rccognlzo me of course she could not."
Then ho turned to Merlem. "My child,"
ho said, "I am your "
Dut sho Interrupted him with a quick,
glad cry nB slip ran toward him with
outstretched arm's.
"I know you I I know you!" she cried.
"Oh, now I remember!" and the old man
folded her In his arms.
Jack Clayton nnd his mother were
summoned, and when the story had been
told them they wero only glad that llttlo
Merlem had found a father and mother.
"And really you didn't marry an Arab
waif, after all?" snld Merlem. v"Isn't It
fine?"
"You are fine," replied tho Killer, ft'
married my llttlo Merlem, and I don't cae
for my part wnetner sno is an Arao, or
Just a llttlo Mangnnl."
"Sho Is neither, my son," Bald General
Armand Jncot. "Sho Is a. princess in her
own right I" THE END
