The above is only one scene, no
matter how long the action continues
in the diningroom. but if any charac-
ter is shown leaving room. to show
him outside will make another scene.
The theme or plot of a photoplay is
the principal idea around which is
woven the incidental details.
The leader, or subtitle, is the ex-
planation which is flashed upon the
screen to explain any action of the
play which can not be acted in a man
ner sufficiently plain to carry its full
meaning to the audience.
Until several years ago, photo plays
were made in One-reel lengths only,
but now the majority of the plays re-
quire from one to six reels of film.
What is a ReeIl
A reel consists of 1000 feet of film.
Two reels naturally include two
thousand feet of film, and so on up.
A photo play which contains suffi-
cient interesting material to make
more than one reel of film is natu-
rally worth more in price, but it must

hold the interest of the audience, for
to draw a story out to two reels. when
It could easily have been made in
one reel, is padded" and does not
contain the necessary punch"
A two-reel picture will contain from
80 to 60 scenes.
DO not attempt to utilize a plot
which you have read in magazine or
paper no matter how much time has
elapsed since it appeared in print ;
even though you might succeed in get
ting it past a reader (who as a rule IS
extremely well informed, both as to
ancient as we'll as modern literaturel
the fact that it was stolen may and no
doubt will be discovered later on,
thereby ieopardizing your chance OF
ever selling another script, as film
companies keep each other informed
in such matters.
In assembling your scenario don't
cling to the few types already used in
so many photo plays; try to create
new types of real, breathing humanity
the kind of people you meet in the
streets, in your business, in the audi
ence of a theatre, even around board
ing house table; carefully study hu-
man nature. Try to imagine just what

1--WE NOM AND THE FLAME.r

The scenes in this masterful story
are very beautiful. There are the
buildings and historic grounds of
Yale College. The play itself is very
strong, being on the theme of a
trusting woman and a fickle man.
who is brought to his senses at the
last moment by a striking and I'M
usual climax.
The scenes are laid in England dur
ing the prologue; but are later shift
ed to America, when all the charac-
ters are brought together for a de-
yelopment that is startling, but salts
factory. There is pathos in this
masterful drama. but there is enough
OF good. cheerful action to add to its
favor with the audience. and the end
ing is satisfactory. The plot is ex-
ceedingly strong and well handled by
a capable cast of famous photoplay
stars.

Conservative IS WAS possible without
getting too far behind When Lewis
went out they had things all their
own way.
There were IS starters, and many
were put out by trouble of one sort
or another. Strange to relate, there
was little tire trouble, though the day
was intensely hot and the track soaked
with oil. Harry Grants Stutz caught
fire shortly after the start. Eddie
Pullen in his Mercer never got beyond
the grandstand In his hurry to get
away he stripped his gears.
The only accident during the race
occurred when j. n. Ortez tried to
cross the track. He was hit by the
Bugatu, which was probably going
50 miles an hour. One leg was torn
off, his sffulI fractured and many
bones broken At the hospital 1t was

before the race the scorcboard col
