Lessons in Scenario Course of Practical Instr
WHAT THE EVENING LEDGER WILL DO
TO TEST ITS SCENARIO STUDENTS

TNHE Evening Ledger believes that its readers will
derive very real profit from its of scenario
lessons 1t of this that it purposes testing that
profit by novel sort of examination. 1t will not be
set af dry written questions The examination will take
dent-the writing of scenario for production.
When the student has finished the course of lessons
he will have the knowledge necessary to put his ideas in
marketable shape. The Evening Ledger will then give
him both test and incentive to further work. Upon
the close of the lessons it will conduct Scenario Contest
for which there will be not only cash prize but far
more valuable desirable and practical reward-produc
ton In addition the Photoplay Department will see that
promising scripts returned to their authors with
letter recommending these scenarios to producers likely to
be interested.
To make the test concrete, the Evening Ledger
will require the contestants to locate the of their
scripts in Philadelphia. 1t will specify certain public
places such the ball parks the railroad stations and
the postoice which must be used in the action, and
certain types of citydweers from whom certain char
acters must be drawn These conditions will stimulate
the faculties of the contestants and the interest
of their friends in the finished product They will not
prevent the acceptance of any the scripts by producing
companies in New York the West, for the elements
chosen will be common to all city life
The prze-winnng scenario will be produced in Phla
depha, by Philadelphia cast under the direction of
one of the big film companies. Watch for further an
of the Scenario Prize contest and the filming
of the successful script.
Meanwhile, cut out each days lesson and save the
complete series for reference in the writing of YOUR
scenario.

nard Shaw was not at that time play
wright; but such scenes were not lost on
him; the future dramatist was collecting
his material everywhere.
Many years afterward. when he had
acquired a considerable reputation as
critic of music, Bernard Shaw saw In
daily paper a silly remark describing some
horrible noise as being almost as bad as
Salvation Army band. He Immediately
wrote to the paper. pointing out that the
Salvation Army bands were mostly good,
and that some of them were OF very con-
spicuous excellence. This compliment from
an unexpected quarter made quite COM
motion at the Army headquarters In Lon
dom The General quoted II again and
again in public. and the author was invited
to attend one of the musical festivals of the
Army. He did so, and wrote an elaborate
critical report of the bands, besides declar-
ing that the performance Of the Dead

of the Army, headed by the International
STAFF Band was incomparably tho finest ne
had ever heard, and the only one which
showed any understanding Of the magnih-
cent triumphal character of the closing Sec
tion.
Shaw took advantage of the relations
thus established to ask the Army staff why
they did not develop tho dramatic side or
their ritual by performing plays. He
even offered to write short play as
model of what might be done. The leaders
of the Army, though interested and not
themselves hostile to the proposal, could
not venture to offend the deep prejudices
against the theatre that still form part of
English evangelism. They could only say
rather doubtfully that II the author of
play could guarantee that everything In II
had actually happened. that at was all
true" 1t might be possible to reconcile the
stricter Salvauonists to It. Shaw put for
ward the defense made by Bunyan that
parallels were allowable. but he was met
with assurance that the Salvationists be-
lleved the parallels to be records OF fact as
we'll as vehicles of instruction. Finally,
Mrs. Bramwell Booth told the author frank
ly that a subscription would be more useful
to the social work of the Army than a
model play; and SO the matter dropped.
But It bore fruit in major Barbara" and
during its run the spectacle was seen for
the first time of box Allied with Salvation
Army officials in uniform, sitting in a
theatre and witnessing a play. Their tes-
timony was useful. Some of the critics, In
an inept attempt to be piously shocked,
tried to present the play as jibe at the
Army, on the ground that the salyationIsts
were represented as being full OF fun. and
that they took money from the distiller.
The Army received this with the scorn It
deserved. declaring that Barbara's fun was
perfectly correct and characteristics. and
that the only incident that seemed incredI-
BILE to them was her refusal to accept the
money. ANY good Salvationist, they said,
would, like the Commissioner in the play,
take money from the devil himself, and
make so good use OF II that ne would per-
haps be converted, as there is hope for
everybody.
The play, however, raises larger Issues
than those of popular salvationism. Under

as Barbara sounds the highest It was the
aliusions to Nietzsche which he provoked
that ellcited from the author the we'll
known preface in which he protested
against the habit of the English critics of
reterrlng every trace of intellect in the
English drama to Norwegian and German

surprised them were to be found in the
literature of the English language. His
reference to Samuel Butler as the greatest

writer which has persisted and spread ever

the fact that Mr.. Gilbert Murray, the

translation of Euripides; and he is not the
only portrait in the play. Undershaft is
perhaps the most eXactinE part that has
fallen to the lot of an actor since Shake
speare's big parts; 1t needs the greatest
versatility and fexibllity on the part of
the actor, and the most alert vigilance on
the part of the audience TO avoid confusing

the subject Of many proposals; but until to-
day the artistic conditions have never
seemed to the author favorable enough to
warrant him in venturing on an authoriza-

London have doubtless had their weight In
his decision. But Shaw has always said
