stories for the magazines you would be
learning not only how to make your
brain children talk as real people talk,
but how to surround them with life as
it is-not how the screen wishes it to
be. You would be learning how to Gre
ate situations that really could exist;
not blood-curdling Nick Carriers that we
all revealed in as boys, but soon discard

aration, ask you, is the writing of
film thriller for the writing of great
American play? The two things are
as unlike as serpents and Venus. The
preparatory school for playwriting is
in the magazines, not in the film studios.
Is drama ever founded on a scenario?
No; but it's often founded on short
story in a popular periodical. So you
see that story writing and play writing
are closely allied. Then, after you have
your play, you have your screen version
Of it-another thing altogether which
some sublimated hack could hew out of
