tons brought about by trade depression

NEW ORLEANS. July 1o.-The quartet
Of bandits who held up the New York

registered packages on the mail car Of
currency whose total is said to run into
six figures had positive tips from some
inside source concerning the shipment Of
more than 800. 900 worth Of cast from
Atlanta to a bank in Houston. Tex. This
feature Of the train robbery appears to
have been verified beyond question by an
investigation conducted by post office in
spectors in New orleans.
The Federal authorities are ~reticent
concerning the amount of the booty OBJ
tanned by the bandits. but information
from apparently reliable sources indi-
Gates that the masked robbers got a
large sum Of currency and several pack
ages Of valuable Jewelry. Unofficial es-
Inmates Of the booty range from $4,000
TO more than 500. 900.

Then the United States Shipbuilding
Trust was organized. and young Mr..
Dresser, trusting his fortune TO the
success Of that undertaking. reached the
climax OF his business career. MIR. Dres-
ser as president of the new trust conf
pany was asked to underwrite the bonds
Of the ~shipbuilding combine. and he UNI
dertook the task that would ave re-
au!red the brains of a Morgan or a
Schin. Had he won in that enterprise
he would have been worth millions.

and when the shipbuilding concern
failed il sounded the death knell not
only Of the Trust Company of the Re-
public but also of Mr.. Dresser's COM
mission house. The shipbuilding COM
pany went under in 1902. the trust COM
pany followed and on March !. 1903,
Dresser & Co. went to the wall with
liabilities OF s1,25O.000, nominal as
sets OF $750,000 inc actual assets OF
$500, 900.
Mr.. Dresser was discharged from
bankruptcy in March. 1907. and In the
four years he succeeded in paying on
more than 81, 0OO, 900 Of his debts. Prior
| to that. however, he started suit against

fraud and seeking to recover $1,000 ,oot

Freed from the bankruptcy court, Mr.
Dresser could have started business
again. but he had lost his grip for big
undertakings He went to Newport,
where he had some business undertake
ings, but they amounted to compare
lively little.
Almost Immediately after Mr.. Dresser
got out OF financial difficulties the pub

In the following year Mrs. Dresse

Mr.. Dresser in 1912 became inter

LESSON No. 1.

In writing a photo play, the most
essential fa,t is to be positive you
possess a strong, original theme to
work around.
What is a Photo Play7
A photo play consists of a synopsis
of from 200 to 400 words or more
when necessary in order to clearly
tell the story. a scenario, consisting
OF from 18 to 30 scenes for a one-reel
picture and as many more in proper
tion for two, three or more reels. A
cast of characters and a scene sched-
ule.
What Is n SynOpsisl
A synopsis is a condensed story OF
the play, giving the important details
but minus all superiluOus description
and dialogue. For example:
MIR. and Mrs Brown, financially en-
barrassed, decide to rent their home,
furnished, and go to the country TO
economize; Harold, the young, hand
some nephew, also in need of money
determines to utilize his uncle's home
as a means Of replenishing his fiat
ened purse. Mr.. Brown succeeds in
getting a tenant for his home and in
the meantime Harold has persuaded a
theatrical troupe to take up their
quarters in the Brown home. The the
atrical troupe arrives in advance ot

the country people to whom Mr..
Brown has surrendered the keys and

ct cete-a.
What is a Scenario,
A scenario is the action of the story
in scenes. eliminating all dialogue and
description. For example:
SCENE 1.
Exterior of Brown home
Harold Brown, accompanied by the
atrical troupe, ascends steps and en-
ter house.
SCENE 2.
Interior of livingroom. Brown home.
Harold and friends enter and take
possession, laughing and in high spir-
its.
What is a Scene?
A scene is the part of the action of a
play which can be photographed in
one place without changing the posi-
ton of the camera. For example:
SCENE 1.
Interior of diningrOom.
Merry crowd around table, toasts'
etc. Helen Warrington exhibiting
marked jealousy toward Dorothy Wells
as Robert Dent shows his preference
plainly. AS diners leave room, Helen
hides behind portleres to spy upon

different types would do under certain
circumstances after your plot is clear
ly formed in your mind, seek a quiet
corner. close your eyes and make your
characters act for you; place them in
the scenes in which you intend them
TO act and compel them to go through
their parts as in a pantomime; you
will be surprised to discover that very
often the characters will seem to act
as though alive. suggesting details to
you which you had as yet not thought
of, you must always bear in mind that
it is only through the action of the
characters that the audience can fol-
low the thread of the story, as while
you, as the author, understand per-
fectly the motive which actuates tho
players, the Audience is entirely ignor-
ant of anything but what is depicted
upon the screen or in the leaders. This
is the reason that so many experienced
writer's of books and stories fail in
the writing of photo plays, they are
too prone to dwell upon the dialogue
and description, relying upon this 10
carry the story over to the reader,
whose intense mind is the canvas, the
authors pen the brush and his array
of facts, descriptions. the pigment out
of which the word picture is painted;
in the photo play we have a different
method to achieve the same result;
here we have a series of rapidly NOV
ing pictures or photographs using the
accessories of the stage, but all told IN
pantomime in pictures hence the inn
portance of assembling your play in
manner which can he plainly shown
by action alone. Never fill your manu-
script with dialogue. as it is only a
wOeful waste of time-yours and the
editors-and photo play which lends
itself to a quick reading will stand
better show for consideration. The
dialogue of play is improvised by
the characters as the story progresses;
don't use descriptions, it doesn't make
particular bit of difference as to
whether the manly hero is the possess
or of a flowing blonde moustache or
the beautiful heroine is the owner of
a pair of dreamy eyes, for should the
actress possessing the only pair of
dreamy eyes at that particular time be
! i'll or unable to enact the part, the di-
rector. will not permit that fact to
postpone the making of that play.
