BUILDING LAUGHS
A LA KEYSTONE
EXPLAINED
, Afthoush thousands of rcrson? wrltlnu
photorlays throuKhout tho country Know In
a ort of a vacuc way that comedy Is much
' harder to wrlto than drama, they know this
l ao chiefly becauso they Jiavo read It some
where. These writers believe a comedy Is, some
thing funny to read Instead of tho bald
construction work necessary, as was recent
,ly explained by Hampton Del lluth, man-
(arlnff editor and nsslstnnt mnnnRer of pro-
Mdactlon of tho Trlangle-Kostono rilm Com-
' pany, who. with his years of oxpcHenco ns
a writer, both for tho speaklntr stngo and
the serecn, spoko upon tho themo which
mljht be called "laughs that last."
"The itudy of tho laugh." Mr Del Ituth
bttan, "1, I fear, too broad a subjoct for
me to comment upon In tho short space al
lotted to any Interview."
The man who has been responsible to
Hack Bennett for tho stories of tho great
comedy compnny for so many years, was
told something of the countless requosts
' made by those trying to urlto comedy, and
M tailed for a general and at tho same
time simple rulo to follow.

" Hula said then. "It Is tho construction of
the story which makos It funny, Lot us
1 taice one of the simplest examples.
"An old man Is waiting In his house
for a relatho whom ho Is expecting.
, Its Is ery nnxlous to sco this man
A crowd of boys ring his door ball, thon

pectlng tho relative. Perhaps ho sees the
