So Saws the Press Agent

A pun can save the day for many
press agent. The gentleman who
travels ahead of virtue"-traveling
chiefly into the censor's office and from
there to the courts-supplies the follow
ing:
The censor did not say that the pro-
ducers were making a virtue of neSEXity.
Beau Broadway, OF the Kew York
Morning Telegraph, wrote that Virtue
would get its own award in the Philadel-
phia courts" An admirer of the star of
the film said it should have read, Virtue
Has Its Own May Ward"
Shakespeare was called to testify be-
fore the courts because he wrote, "Dost
thou think that because thou art virtuous,
there shall be no more cakes and ale?"
The cakes and ale were deleted by the
censor.
No reward by the way, has been Of
fered for the identity of the oerpetrator.

The Hearst people supply us with
"Photoplay Scenarios; How to Write and
Sell Them" by Eustace Hale Ball, author
not only of an earlier volume on the
technique of the photoplay, but of such
successful films as THE Traffic in Souls
Mr.. Ball draws his information from ex-
perience as staff playwright, scenario edi-
tor and producing director with the Re-
lance, Eclair, Majestic and other COM
panies.
'PhotOplay Scenarios is thoroughly
readable and gives every indication of
trustworthiness. Simply ana clearly Mr.
Ball explains the proper form that a
scenario should take. its divisions into
the various sheets describing plot scenes
and actions. He gives two sample see
narios, comedy and drama, written
by himself, submitted to film companies
and ultimately produced.
Other portions of the book take I'D
more abstract matters. such as the laws
of drama, 'vitalizing the cast" moral
foundations" "the use of cIose-ups"
There is plentiful advice for the begin
ner as to record keeping of scenarios
sent out, methods of sale, the companies
which are buying scripts, technical terms
and their uses. editorial rules and CEN
sorship conditions.

The Hearst international Library has
recently published in book form The
Goddess" by GouveTneur Morris and
Charles Goddard. While it does not ad-
here strictly TO the film version IN which
Anita Stewart and Earle Williams appear,
it makes readable addition to the large
number of books which have been based
upon the photoplays.

and his. cousin Renwick, and "head-

He paused" long enough in Ander-
son, as Lark Wilson would put it, to
get his name in the paper, and from
there he proceeded to Pickens, where
ne did not get his name in the paper.
After looking at the mountains
from Pickens, and consulting his
guides as to the probability of sliding
down a mountain in cas they tried
to go up, and thinking again of
Uncle Jim, the Colonel turned his face
towards another Sunday dinner at
Uncle Jim's table.
No one was expecting the party
back so soon Accordingly there was
some dispute at our house as to who
it was that walked up Col. Bradley's
front walk Sunday morning. One

must be Charley Lyon, but our son
Bill solved it. He got up to the WIN
dow and said, after taking a Look
