It! i I't CLOSE-UPS of the By HENRY M. Its a Good Time to Beware of the Movie "Come-On TIEUE'S a wonderful lot of "coino-on" literature circulating about the coun try at the present time. And I'hllndclphia seems to be having more than Its fair share of it. The movie mnnia has done it. Everybody Is crazy to get Into the movies, cither to act for the screen or to' become identified with the business as o means of quick aud fabulous profits. And so, being half "sold" in advance on n movie proposition, they prove gullible victims to any suave gentleman with a fancy prospectus and a smooth story. The subject Is a difficult one to deal with without giving a wrong impression of tho whole buslncsn, yet 1 have lately been consulted by to many prospective Tictlms of the most obvious fllin-llnins that a warning to everybody is the only just and humane course. Please underhand In the first place that a legitimate movie enterprise, backed by men with previous movie or theatrical experience nnd with present movie etanding. is as good an Investment as the market has to offer. IHg fortunes have been made in it; big fortunes will continue to be made, for, In spite of the present slump, it is the people's favorite form of recreation, and the future will unques tionably be as prosperous as the past, and upon a much saner and more rcllublo basis. If you get a chance at a proposition with n name that means something in tho amusement world, ou may rightfully regard It in the same light ns any Other good Investment in the market. ' ,' HUT first tako timc t0 '"ofc '"' "l0 ,eco,l' f ",c mc'1 behind tho & engraved prospectus. If they ha!c already shown that they know hoto to cater to the. tastes of the amusement-loving puhlic, go to it, if you feel so inclined nnd have the money. i Hut don't go in blind. The faker have got into this game just at they have done after every big boom, from- gold mines to oil wells. f A PEW weeks ago, half a dozen young women came Into this office at various A times, each armed with a postal enrd from a "company" with "offices" In a Chestnut Btrect building. The card utated thnt the company knew the young woman had aspirations to become a screen star and offered to give her n chance if she would call at a certain time. , , We got one of the girls to keep the nppointment, taking with her a man from this office who posed as a very dumb and very unobservant brother. He aat in the outer office and twiddled his thumbs nnd gaped nt the celling nil of one evening but he heard the convolutions that came iloaticg over the pnrtition In the room. We arranged to have the gentleman In charge call at this office. Here he was introduced to two of our "editors." It was the lirtt time that they had ever been editors; ordinarily one is a postal inspector and the other a detective from City Hall. , , We asked the young man a lot of questions until he became rather confused. Then we Introduced tho two "editors" in their proper guise. We hnd to. The detective had inadvertantly left his gun nnd blackjack on my desk and the young man saw them and began perspiring uncomfortably. HIS office isn't open any more. There isn't going to be any one-piece-bathing-suit romedy produced at Sinners Point, in spite of tho notices he had had inserted in the Atlantic City papers. The Chamber of Commerce down there teas ready to get in back of him but ice got in back of him first, THERE'S a lot of that sort of thing going nround. Only a few weeks ago, we were consulted by several people who had received literature from anotlier company. Wo advised them to keep away until they eould make a thorough investigation. Then we got n phone call from a very angry man. "Say," he bellowed, "I want to know why you nrc advising people not to deal with any one In the moving-picture business without consulting you first." "And who nre you?" we asked politely. "I don't think that's any of jour businos," he retorted, but I 11 tell you one thing. We arc going to send our attorney to sec you and we nrc going to make you come to a showdown." We've waited ever since. But no attorney lias come In to (.. us. And, so far ns we can learn, people have not been receiving thnt company's literature on MA lnrii n simtp There are n few fairly well established facts by which you can guide jourtclf in thin business. Some of them arc No reputable t-nurcrn is hunting for inexperienced girls to act for It. Every company which Is actually producing on a legitimate basis is Hooded with applications for ouch position it has to oflcr. Unless the men behind a company can point to previous successes in motion pictures or on the stage, their success in this new game will be a hard, up-hill fight. . , , Any company worth Identifying yourself with can prove to jour satisfaction that it has the screen rights to good stories, the services of directors with past successes to their credit, contracts with actors and actresses of known ability end an up-to-date plant capublc of turning out the fine tjpe of film play which the public now demands. Insist upon knowing through what organization the company s lilms nrc to be marketed. Then write that organization and ask them now the company atands. Without adequate and recognized distribution facilities, you arc going into a gamble. And check up on cverj thing the salesman or tho compnnj's representative tells J ou. If they are worthy of confidence they will bo known to the lecognized people already in the business. If they aren't known, their intentions may be perfectly honorable, but you'd better postpone the wedding until jou are of age. A YD pleae remember irhat I said in the first place; a good movio proposition i ns good a any proportion in the stock market today and better than most. Hut a bud one is just about as good as an egg that some one forgot until it was too late. GARRULOUS GARRY HAS A LOVELY CRY OVER MARY ALDEN By HELEN KLUMI'II ifTOV needn't fish around in mj X nocket."

"Whoever said that '.Mary Allien would make a furtive tear steal down Jour cheek' didn't know the half of it 'm n complete wreck." The picture wus Ilupcit " Hughes' "The Old Nest." and the chuckles In It hndn't been half enough to bnlunce the Hood of tears that (lurry had in dulged in.

"H HERE IS PRECIOUS LIST OF DONTS FOR SCRIPT WRITER IJy LOIS WEUlSIt ilnrrr nnd director of htr own photoplay "T1VEUY great studio Is deluged with -J sccnnrlos from nmntcur nnd pro fessional photnplaywrights. Ono stndio lecclves two thousand a week. For thirteen yenrs I have written nnd directed my own photoplays, but J nm always glad to consider photo play plots nnd Ideas and to pny well for them If they nro originhl. The nitv of it Is. however, f hnf nrli. I Innlity Is nt a premium, so far n new plots are concerned. For years the scrnnrlo departments of the vnrious studios have culled over tho novels of every generation since Chaucer. The book and mazazlne markets are watched these days as they never were beforo in tho hope thnt they mny contnin the work of a new nnd promising author. Somo of the best stories utcd by photoplay directors, however, never nave been printed. Indeed, although many great nuthors are now writing directly for the screen, the market for "originnls" wns never so good ns It is today. Home one lins written thnt there are only thirty-six different situations in (he drnmn, but I hnve fo'und that, there nrc n million variations of those thirty six situations, I am always keenly on the lookout for these variations, nnd no matter how illiterately written n sce nario is when it comes into my office, I give it careful attention. Howeer. the frequency with which certain plots me sent in to mc gives me occasion to rcmnrk that the scenario writer would s.ive himself much time If he were to put on his "taboo list" cer tain types of plays. FOR instnncc, there is tho brother-and-slstcr situation which I find constantly recurring. A brother nnd sister, separated by circumstances, meet again and marry or arc about to marry. lon't uo it. Don't uc tho illegitimacy theme, either. The public does not like It. Avoid it as you would a pestilence. Do not send the studios wnr stories. They hnve been deluded with them. Per haps ten or fifteen jp.tr from now the theme may win favor, but not just nt present. And, bv the way, don't make your villnins either Mexicans or Japanese. There are good reasons why these na tionalities should not be used in un pleasant parts. Don't rend O. Henry, Dc Mnupns-" rant. I'oe. Kipling or other popular nuthors before writing your scenario. With those masters in mind you will have difficulty in not uncoiveiously pla giarizing them. Tiiis unconscious pin giarim is fnmiliar to scenario readers in every studio. Don't wiito photoplays calling for expensive sittings. Stick to American, cverj day themes. Don't go too far nfield for jour plot. AVrite of the people nround u. They enn be made interesting Keep your cast of char acters small. Don't hine long-time lapses in your rtory. Thnt is. don't intromico Man as a child, marry her off and then carry her on to middle nge. Confine your notion to ns brief a period as possible, An effective play was writfn some years ago in which nil tin theoretical action took place in half nn hour. TN 01 - n co S" ORDER to sell your story, form onnection with some good literary or plnyb.'oking ngeucy. Such ngeneies keep In close touch with the photoplny market and will see that your play leaches the right peorl"- When you wont tn eliminate n char acter in vour photoplnv don't kill him or her off. Use your brnins to set rid of tho character. IJy n little ingenuity It enn be done. Put yourself in tho place of vour characters. Get "under the skin," so to speak. Make them act a yon would net if you wcro placed in similur cir cumstnnco. Alwavs avoid tho improbable. Coinci dences arc never convincing. Hiilld your piny around a central character, mnle or femnle. nnd make that character iympnthetic, tbnt is to say, with nn nppeal to the audience. Don't send In stories which would not nppeal to plny-goers In the Southern States, We contnntly receive (ho "tiv brush plot," ns the blnck-nnd-w'hite mesalliance theme is fnmilinrlv called. Don't hung n lorkrt on the bubv's neck which will identify it in later j ears. Avoid the "Corsienn brother theme." that is to say. the dual tolo of twin brothers nnd sisters.
