By HARRY O. IIOYT
Head of tho Metro flceniulo Staff
Wn WILL now Imaslne that Robcrfs
aversion to women Is mado apparent,
nnd Iila character Is ns thoroughly estab
lished as tho characters of .Tones nnd his
daughter arc.
If wo ara writing a multlplo reel story
wo will now plant thoroughly the premises
nnd get our plot started, It will bo com"
plex and probably thcro will bo a strong
counterplot nnd n thread of humor In It
Wo will mnko tho story big enough for a
feature picture
Hut If It Is a nlnnte reel then wo muff,
pick ono them nnd stick to It. Everything
mint bo subordinated to tho main plot
This plot, whllo admitting of complication,
should bo a simple, stialghtforward stoiy.
Inasmuch as wo havo tnltcn or Indicated
a posslblo theme In tho earlier part of this
artlclo wo might ns well stick to It and
f'.nd what It will lead us to We will say
thnt for somo reason the young fellow wants
to ruin .lones In other woids, our jilot
starts with tho establishment of this pro
mi so
Why docs Robert want to ruin Jones?
Several reasons may be nppatcnt Neatly
every writer will pick ii different lenwin
To glvo something concrete, wo will Mip
poso thnt Jones had nn older daughter nnd
thnt this is the girl who turned 1 Solicit
down Tho reason for tho turndown has
nover been npparent.
Now nt tho opening of tho stoiy Rolieit
discovers that Jones had Insisted that tho
older daughter marry another man. If wo
do Ibis our story should rightly start with
tills episode, and Robert -would easily be
placed ns a "woman hater" ever alter Ho
that premise Is not good for our In ginning.
Wn must look for something In tho present
t'erhnps wo mnko It a natural ovent Hero
aio two men, ono joung'niul ono middle
nged, In Wall street. They clash llarh
tries to gain control of somo company. If
wo show much of this wo are getting Into
a business story, nnd thnt Is bad.
We must bring drama Into It Very well,
then, wo will havo a friend Invito Robert
to a party, perhaps tho friend has a box
for the opera We will havo seen the Inci
dent of Robert going over ills letters JiiRt
ptevloiisl, and at the conclirlnu tossing
them Into tho lire. Indicating that tho to
manco Is ended
The friend enters the room and persuades
him to come with him. He gos very le
liKtnnttv, nnd there meets lUniy .She
linpicssPB him ns u tlno young girl, but his
prejudices nro too deep seated Robert
gains tho upper band and crushes Jones
I,ct us make tho story different now. Rob
eit Is our hero and heio wo aro making a
"hcuv" of him. .Suppose wo tut n things
nrnund Wo will have a "poor but honovt '
joung fellow In lovo with Maiy She leally
thinks that she cares for him In reality
we will seo that ho Is n fortune-hunter
In most plnys the uforcaild "P b li "
young man Is the hero, nnd particular
delight is taken In seeing the man of money
loso out Scenario writers nover glvo a man
of wealth a chance IC he owns nn auto
mobile bo Is doomed to be a vllllnn Jf
be Is wealthy, by thnt rame sign be Is bialn
Itss he pom- bny, hovvevei. Is gifted
with a brilliance that is remarkable and
why be doesn't get nhead In thn woild when
he possesses such a superabundance of
bialns Is past all understanding o or
the sako of a change wo will make tho poor
bov tlin villain
Robert has but to say tho word and Jones
Is ruined The poor boy hears that Jones
has lost his foitune and Immediately bo
will try to escape from an alllanco with
Mary It Is her money that ho wants
At this time Robert comes to heo Jones
In his home He meets Mary again, and
nn Idea occurs to him Ho tells Jones ho
will let up on him If Mnry will marry him.
Tho proposition 13 put up to Mary and
she consents nfler hesitating nnd refusing
at first She will many him to save her
father. Tho situation is trite nnd Robert s
still tho villain '
Wo havo seen that tho poor boy Is also
a villain, nnd this Is a situation difficult to
cxtrlcato nurseivci from It Is Just such
situations that require careful attention.
Wo cad rnako a trllo ending by having
them marry, nnd perhaps Maiy will force
Robert's respect In somo manner
.Suppose sho doesn't many him' Con
sider this a moment l'rom that sentence
springs nn nilgiunl ending that raises the
piny abovo tho commonplnce Suppose th it
she Is unnlilo to stand tho Insults of Rob
ert's quiet assurance that of com so she
would not refuse. Suppose thnt she turns
upon him nnd In n big t,cenc orders him
out of tha houso nnd refuses to mairy him
Sho tells hint thnt she will never marry
him, that It were far belter to work her
self than to marry such a man Sho can
stick by her fnther and defy him
Robeit leaves Now what are Robert's
feollngs? Ho respects the girl, nnd his
respect forces him to let tho father save
his foitune With icspert comes lovo.
lleio Is one woman tint he could love
because ho enn respect her HI Is now
tlin hopeless case The poor bov will show
tho vvhlto fenther when bo leains, ns bo
behoves, lb.it Jones Is mined nnd Mary
will understand that It was only her money
ho wanted
Robert now will cnmmunle-ito with Mnry
nnd tell her that be never would bnvo
sived her father If she had been willing
to mnko such a sncilflce, nnd If her father
bad-nccepted It She In turn will conio to
a realisation of her love for Robert and tho
story will eVid happily.
It cannot bo contended that wo havo
mado a big story of It, even for n slnglo
reel, but nt least It is different
Tnko any trlto situation nnd turn It
nbout. When a man makes n decision
hnfl him make the opposite decision nnd
see It jou can extricate him from the con

rWOlJRlNG can be one
of the most delight-
ful experiences of
your life or a dismal
failure and one hundred
per cent of the responsi
bility rests with .the car.
If you tour in a Paige Fair
field "Six -46," you will
return home contented,
refreshed and eager to
plan the "next trip."
There will be no regrets no
painful reminiscences of
tedious waits by the swel
tering roadside.
The Fairfield has ah uncanny
knack of "going through"
and any Paige owner
knows the reason why.
