OF HER PRISON, WRITING FOR THE SCREEN GIVES EVERYBODY CHANCE Noted Director Says Even Crudest of 'Scenarios Will Win Recognition if It Has Plot and Human Interest Enough to Make It Worth While Hy TOM .1. GEKAUIITY Miprrrlslne Director of rnrnmoiint Pklurtu ut JVistrrn Studio X T AM firmly convinced that the screen I today offers the best opportunity for tiie marketing of the fruits of the imagination. The puotoplny is bringing fntn nrktpnnn n null' llfnrnfitr.i n frneTi 1 interesting panorama of life that is bound to appeal more and more to the l masse-. And .so it is unturnl that from . tilt? musses should come their stories of love, reverses, struggles, happiness, done I with the surest touch of realism A great many persons linve felt the urge to write, nut as time passes their white heat emotions are submerged in dreams that are never put on pnper. Those are the stories the photoplay producer desires. And those arc the storie-, the producer should receive, be muse fn ltrmwn, tliom fnp (ilmifll? re- 1 nuires much less effort on the part of the writer than for any other purpose. In writing for the screen, one lias to be concerned only with Ideas. The langungo may bo handled carelessly, i the situations in a clumsy manner. ' the deelonient illnglrally; but If 1 tho idea Is there. If tho story goes directly to the heart of things, Is different from the mass of others, registers a sob or a smile, then your work will be rereled with open arms. In other words, in writing for the screen jou take the shortest cut to success. You do not have to study technique of i ompositlcn ; you do not have to devote hours to scrupulous re writing and selection of appropriate snonyms; uii need only have nu iden a good one and if you present it to us, we shall develop It to buit our requirements. In this connection. I nm often asked if producers steal stories submitted by the nubile. I cannoutoo strongly em phasize that no rep table producer would pursue sueli a course. As a matter of fact, the receipt of something refreshingly different in our office is occasion for immediate rejoic ing on the nnrt of all concerned. And we pay handsomely for the privilege of ii"ing the Idea submitted, no matter l...... ...I......

That is plot, or theme, or what- , ever you w isJi to call it. ' I like to picture a plot ns a cos- , tiiiue, upon which to hang the vnnousl threads of narrative. As you are tie ' veloping sour situations, knit your char-1 acterizatlon closely, logically, so that when you have finished you have not merely a series of unrclnted Incidents, but a story concerning the definite striv ' Ing of an individual or individuals for n certain thing which they nttain or do nut nitnin. ns 1111 wish after various I struggles and tests of strength worked in naturally, encli Happening tne result of another. Nothing Is Impossible, of production on the screen. Any situation, any notion, no matter how trying, can bo reproduced faithfully in (he moving picture of today.

Wo want clean pictures; there Is a growing wao of feeling against .sug gestive settings. Summarizing, your synopsis should run between fiUO and '2oW) words ; your theme should be clear-cut, incisive, carried throughout tho storv ; love and comedy uro most favored and the idea is of paramount importance. 2,648.144 Miles of Film!

Tho kiddles who have mndn themselves famous on the Bcreen arc usually nllowed a good deal of latitude, nnd the worst of It is, that when any one catches thorn doing things they ought not to do, their very popularity keeps them from being punished as nn ordinary person would be. Thlrtocn-ycnr-old "Freckles" Wes ley Bnrry, the- broncho-busting kid, Is now In Xcw York on his first visit to the metropolis. Until the other day, he had never seen n linnsom cab outsrfdo of the movies in nil hla life. Tiring of subway nnd elevated rides, Wes sneaked away from the Wllsonlnn apartments, on West Sixty-ninth street, where h(s mother, two aunts, grand mother nnd n tutor are staying. In splto of their vigilance Wesley got out of the house and balled the first hansom cnb he saw on Fifth nvc- turn nml frt. im li,,ru thn hnv fttnr Of "Dl'ntv" and "Itnli Hnmnton of Placer" ! drove up and down the thoroughfare and through Central Park. But .this wasn't quite exciting enough for n' lad who only recently had been riding bron chos on the plains of Montana. "Say, I'll change places with you," lie remarked 'to the driver. "I.cmmc take those reins. I'll show you how to drive." Wesley convinced !ie old cabby that he was an expert, climbed to the nigh seat and took the reins, while the driver made himself comfortable In the front scat for a jnunt through the park. All went well until Wes decided lie wanted to see more of New York from his lofty perch, nnd despite the driver's excited protestations, headed down Fifth avenue. Then in the maze of traffic the old horse became balky, backed into two motorcars and started to run nway. At Fiftieth street Traffic Officer Matthews made a successful grab for the horse nftcr Wesley had traveled past a stop signal. The officer was scv cml minutes Btrnlghtcning out the jam that followed, and then he demanded of young Harry to produce his driver s ileense. ' It was an embnrrassing moment for Wes nnd the driver sented inside, nut the joungster's explanations of the horse's cantankerous nctions were ac cepted nlong with nn nutograplied pho tograph of himself and borne passes. Officer Matthews nnd Towcrman Bob Vernon nre now numbered among Wes lev's best friends, because they not only let him off ou his "first offense," but also permitted him to go up in the tower nnd showed him how the traffic signal system of the New York police depart ment works. '"Extra" Work a Lifcsaver "The greatest lifosaver there is." That is what I.on Chnney says of "extra work" in motion pictures. He made this observation the other duv while watching several hundred monies old and voung brown-haired and white-haired on the floor of the gigantic ballroom built at the doiiiwyn studios for "The Night Hose." in which he nlnvs the leading male role. Some one snld : "Don't they get tired standing all day?" "Tired!" Chaney exclaimed. "Well, pel Imps they do but tell me anv other industry In the world where nn old legit imate stage actor, who iiiis iosi ins vlce as far as getting it over the foot lights is concerned can earn nn honct living so easily.
