to rend on the screen, "Bert "Williams, a
Thief" Home writers even Introduced
deliberately real characters 'f rom public life
and requested that Mr. Stotesbury or Mr.
Wnnnmaker or n prominent sporting editor
take part In producing his scenario. Tho
biggest Bhock of tho contest, however, came
when tho Judges road a script In which
nit throe figured as the principal charac
ters, and tho Photoplay Editor of tho
Evcnino Lruann, after persuading Mr.
Mastbaum nnd Mr. Karger to award the
prize to a young lady who had lont him
ouu, ended by mnrrylng tho girl.
Tho contest has resulted In two very In
teresting proofs of tho real opportunity
awnltlng amateur scenario writers.
In tho first plnco, tho scenarios submit
ted to tho Evening LnnoKn contest showed
In Innumcrnblo cases a very nccurato ob
servation of life nnd character. Tim writ
ers wrote of what they know. Their peoplo
wero the sort you might meet any day Just
round the corner, but never In the popular
magazines. Their shopgirls, to note a sin
gle cxamplo out of many, wero real girls
earning their living, not fictional abstrac
tions. Another and more Important fact Is to
be noted. During tho course of tho con
test tho Photoplay Editor ventured to ob
serve that photoplay writing Is the only lit
erary art for which a training In composi
tion la unnecessary and that the amateur
with only a very limited education can
compcto with the trained writer provided
ho has tho faculty for story telling. Tho
competition supplied ntnplo cvidenco of this.
A great many of the scenarios submitted
had slips In English, spelling nnd punctua
tion that no student of a high school course
In composition would make, and yet they
told ono Interesting nnd exciting cplsodo
after another In most excellent scenario
form. Tho screen has a futuro as demo
crats In Its writers as It has a past dem
ocratic In prices and audiences.
The scenarios which failed to win tho
Eve.nino LEnaEii prlzo will be returned as
quickly as may be, each with a personal
lettor of criticism and suggestion from tho
Photoplay Editor. This will naturally take
a certain amount of time. If any contest
ant does not wish Ills script to awnlt the
chnnco of being one of tho last of tho 172
Bont back, he may request Its Immediate
return.
In nn early Issue of tho Kven.no I.EDOEn
tho. contestants In the Photoplay Cast Con

Line-Up of the Photoplay Cast Contestants
NOW that the scenario has been chosen for production, interest in the cast contest rises to its
highest point. The winning scenario has wonderful possibilities. Phil and Delphine are both
young and they are 'the principals. There are many other girls, there are character parts, there
are loads of children. If in tho list which follows there are "kiddies" we know there are some
they ought to rush in their ballots, because tho picture will be full of them.
Contestants are again reminded of the absolute necessity of marking their ballots. Write
the name on each heading cut from- page 1 of the Evening Ledger. That is the only safe way.

Douglas J. Wood, who Is to mnko his
first nppcaranco In vaudevlllo In this city
this week nt B. F. Keith's Theatre, Is tho
originator of tho Bandbox Thcatro In New
York, whero ho and his company produced
many successful plays, Ono df these was
"The .Shoplifter," which Mr. Wood Is using
for his vaudeville vehicle.
Douglas Wood's rho In tho theatrical
profession did not differ greatly from tho
advancement of most of tho capable young
actors who havo gained fcaturo or stellar
distinction. He was leading mnn in sev
eral productions nnd supported many stars,
Including Mrs. Fisko nnd Wilton Lnckaye.
Ho possessed one characteristic, and that
was, he had ideas nnd the courage to put
these menu in reality, una or these Ideas
was tho Bandbox Theatre, which he founded
and In which ho played the principal male
roles.
Another of theso Ideas was tho promo
tion of nn English-speaking company to
tour South America. In this ho Interested
David Belasco and Cecil do Mllie, and
tho company played a six months' engage
ment In the republics and presented 18
plays, In which Mr Wood played the prin
cipal roles. The enterprise was a success.
Thero wero enough foreigners In theso
countries to make the company both finan
cially and artistically sound.
nnd every house will bo running by tha"
mltldlo of tho samo month. While thero
may bo a few changes In the character of
attractions played nt different houses, as
a rulo thero will bo no radical changes dur
ing tho coming season. Thcfo will be at
least flvo burlesquo houses, and possibly the
Glrnrd will bo added to the quintet which
havo arranged to play that class of attrac
tions. Tho Walnut, Orpljcum and Knicker
bocker will houso tho attractions of the new
International Circuit. Tho American will
bo occupied by a Jewish stock company,
but as far as Is known there will be no
English-speaking Btock company In Phila
delphia next season.
Tho sale of tho William -Penn Theater
recently was only to clear up a defect
In tho title of the property, nnd will make
no changa in tho management of tho house
or the class of attractions to bo played
there. Vaudevlllo and pictures v)ll be con
tinued. All tho other popular-prico vaude
vlllo houses will continue to present tha
ramo class of attractions which have mads
them a success In the past. A few ot tht
largo picture houses may mako a switch
to theatrical attractions If the coming sea
son pans out ns well for that style of en
tertainment as every ono predicts. Du
mont's Minstrels will continue to be tho only
located minstrel company In tho world,
Tho Sunday nmuscment wrangle here Is
still on, tho sensational, raids mado last
Sunday not having Improved tho situation
at all. Unless some compromise Is effected
tho men who were arrested will Involco
tho aid of the State law to close up every
pier, thcatro nnd movlng-'plcturo house hers
next Sunday. Thero nro Indications that
tho matter may bo sattsfactprlly adjusted
today.
Cabarets aro not only putting on big.
glrllo reviews hore, but one ot tho larger
places this week put on a completo circus
performance, with animals, clqwns. etc.
Two Now York successes, presented by
road companies, were put on hoio this
week. "Very Good Eddie," which Is still
running In New York, was presented by a
touring company, and pleased largo audi
ences hero. It Is the farce presented
in Philadelphia and other cities sqmo sea
sons ago under the title of "Over Night,"
made Into n scmlmusical comedy by Intro
ducing 12 chorus girls, six chorus men and
a number of sprightly songs, dances and
ensembles.
"Fair nnd Warmer," originally produced
here last summer under the title of."The -Mystic
Shrine." and under the now title
making a hit In New York, where It Is still
being played, was presented by the com
pany which Is bound for San Francisco and
tho Pacific coast. It Is a quick-moving
farce, full ot action, snappy dialogues and
just a teeny-weeny bit o spice. The maki.
Ing of cocktails, In which are mixed every
cordial and liqueur ever drunk by mortal
man, and the subsequent effects of these
wondrous drinks mako tho second ncta
scream of merriment.
"Please Help Emily," an English comedy,
was produced for the first tlmo In America
on Thursday, August 11, by a Frohman'
company at the Apollo Theater. Ann Mur
dock la the star, and Bhe Is supported by
Charles Cherry. Ferdinand Qottschalk, Jef
freys Lewis and a number ot other celebri
ties. Tho play scored, and will more than
likely please New Yorkers and remain in
that city all of the coming season.
