WORTH, Dept. 6A, 74 Corland St., New York f~f~ITDE I Helps for Scenario Beginners By CHARLES DONALD FOX Well, I am certainly glad to see that so many of the readers of this splendid little magazine are interested in writing for the screen. Aside from the many questions I am answering this month in our columns, I have received and answered many, many letters from our readers, all of which thank us for inaugurating this department. Please feel entirely free to adress me and ask me any question you wish. If you en- close stamped and addressed envelope I will be only too glad to render you what- ever service It is in my power to give. Last month I asked those of our readers interested in scenario writing to be logical in what they wrote. This month I think I will tell.you how to start a photoplay, STARTING THE PHOTOPLAY Of course the very first thing the writer must do ere he can essay a start is to pick a theite to write about. Now most ama- teurs seem to shudder every time the word THEME is used. What is a theme? Do you know? I venture to say that many of you do and yet not knowing that you do become discouraged because of the tech- nical quality of the word theme. The theme of a story Is not the idea of the story as so many people think. Every- time you pit down to write a story, just because you happen to have a good idea for one, ask yourself this important ques- tion-"What is the purpose of my story?" In that way you will learn just exactly what the theme is-for the purpose of a story represents the theme. Once you have the theme selected and set down firmly in your mind, you must de- cide upon the beat possible way to begin your story. Probably you have heard of Aristole- the father of all dramatic craftsmanship. He said that every story must have a be- ginning, a middle and an end. Sounds quite simple, doesn't It-but how many of you follow that rule when you write? Once you have decided upon the begin- ning of your story you must make all that occurred before the characters were intro- duced to your readers, very plain. We must know just who the characters are and what part they played in each others lives ere we met them. Now a novelist will not find this a diffi- cult thing to do because he can begin his story with the birth of ble characters, If he wishes. Winston Churchill. famous writer, did almost this when he wrote his splendid story "A Far Country." We became acquainted with the two central characters while they were mere children. As the story progresses we came to know them better, and every act of theirs re- flected their actions and traits as children. But to the Photodramatist no such o portunity exists. He Is bound by certain limitations. And because the photoplay must be told in a certain amount of space -the average five reel picture takes 75 minutes to film on the screen and is about 5000 feet long-the writer of this form of literary effort must think considerably be- fore he sets a pen to paper to start his story. Give this point deep thought, those of you who are interested In writiu and next month we will go into further detail about writing photoplays. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q. Has the outsider any chance to sell original scenarios to the studios? A. The amateur, which I presume you mean has every chance to make a sale but it is not an easy thing, unless your stories are presented by a well known broker or agency. Q. If I send you a story to read will you read it and if so will you make any charge to do so ? A. I will be glad to read your scenario and I will NOT make any charge for performing this service for you. Q. How can I get in touch with Norma Talmadge, Mae Murray and Alice Cal- houu? A. I am sorry that I cannot answer this question for you as I am restricted quite naturally to giving my time to questions and letters about scenarios. Q. What do you know about the var- lons correspondence schools that claim to be able to teach writing for the screen? A. There are just two that I know of that can really do this! A stamped and addressed envelope will bring the names to you. Q. Must one enclose return postage when writing to the studlos? A. If you are thinking of sending a manuscript It is certainly necessary to en- close postage If you wish it returned in the event the studio to whom you are sending It can nout use same.
