Emmett Campbell Hall Declares
Poor Pay Is Cause Of Poor
Plays.
CAN FIND GOOD STORIES
But Hasty Composition Results
in Making Film Versions
Badly Constructed.

Emmett Campbell Hall. who might
be called Washington's own photo
playwright were 1t not that a lot
OF other distinguished Washing
tonians are also photoplaywrighting,
he's become the author OF some
rather blunt remarks to producera
regarding photoplays that might
make pleasant reading for people
who contemplate entering that line
OF work.
Mr.. Hall Is one of the successful
photoplaywrights who has been
writing photoplays with an ideal
rather than for the money people
give him for II. He has been doing
yoeman service In developing a pho
toplay from raw material-a photo
play. In the sense OF a class OF
stage play. a poem, etc.
He believes Implicitly in the mis-
sion OF the .photoplaywright and
that a photoplay Is gradually work.
ing into form from the chaotic
conditions that have surrounded the
writing end OF the business since
Its start. And Mr.. Halls remarks
are largely for the purpose Of tell
ing producers how they can help In
this work. This Is part OF what be
has to say on the subject-complet
statement of his ideas being i'm
possible because Of the high cost of
paper and consequent lack Of space:
Producers Must Pay.
Everything has improved-except
the stories. We must have better
stories!'
80 cries the producer. suddenly
awake to the fact that the picture
business Ia moving by hitherto ac-
quired momentum only. and that IL
Is the story that must supply fur
Their motive power. With his bust
ness on the verge of very serious
illness. he has correctly diagnosed
the disease. but Is doing absolutely
nothing toward remedying the thing
he deplores.
There win never be any better
stories!
"The stories Of 1916 are no better
than the stories OF l716. or A. d. i,
nor will those OF 20l6 be.
THE trouble Is not with the stories.
but in the method OF telling. Take
the masterpieces of fiction and strip
them to their skeletons-their plots.
Rather trite and banal, are they not?
1t Is the method OF presentation that
has made them things Of beauty.
What would an unframed or hurried
hand have accomplished with the
same materials?
THE time II takes to write good
photoplay must be paid for, II good
photoplays are to be written. Ten
five-reel subjects a year should be
a large output for a very industrious
author-fiive, of his maximum quality.
would be nearer right.
ITO make decent income. how
many must he turn out at the prices
he can get? Few producers are pay
ing or are willing to pay more per
reel than the better producers paid
four years ago-with many the rate
10 no better.
ut is not merely the story that the
producer must purchase-it Is that
story In its highest photoplay devei-
opment-if he wants good stories as
seen through the medium of the
screen. And to bring a story to that
development takes time. patience,
labor plus natural ability. training
and discriminating knowledge Of
picture technique.

Results of an investigation of con-
nections between rail and water car
riers and of the effect upon trans
continental freight rates of the Pa
mama Canal competition has recently
been submitted to the senate by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
a very full report which is as fol-
lows: I'll. :.=.~. -.
Reports of 337 carriers-170 rail
roads and 1877 water carriers-were
embodied in the report They showed
that 121 railroads were interested in
Sc carriers by water through INTERIOR
porate relationship and inteFlocking
directorates or officers. The total SO
were interested in water carriers
through ifterlocking directors and OIL
GERS only, and 50 through intercorpor-
ate relationship. OF the &c water car
riers, 40 In which railroads were in.
terested only through interlocking
stocks, directorates or officers, owned
and operated 426 vessels, with a gross
tonnage of 1,SS3, 966.
One thousand and ninety-eight YES
sells of a gross tonnage of 2,94l,94l, or
which 40 were steam vessels and 32S,
with a gross tonnage of 226,OO0, were
sailing vessels and barges, were en-
gagged in coastwise and foreign trade
in which railroad companies were in
terested directly or indirectly.
J Twenty-seyen railroad systems or
their subsidiaries, according to the
report, owned or operated steamship
lines or vessels. The total number of
vessels operated by the q carriers
672, of gross tonnage of 1,057,975, OF
which 49S vessels. with gross ton
mage of 596 ,225, operated on the Attain
tic and Gulf coasts, IL with gross
tonnage of 234, 499 on the Pacific coast
and So of gross tonnage of 1s9,4sO
on the Great Lakes.
During the time covered by the COM
missions report vessels were operat-
ing actively through the, Panama Ca
nal. furnishing real competition with
the railroads, Soon afterward the
great slide in the canal blocked traftie
entirely for many months, and 1t mas
been resumed only on a comparative
~ small scale -. .=..-..5
The report said that in most cases
the water rates through the canal
were from so to 81 per cent lower
than the rail rate from coast to coast
Virtually the only exception was in
the case of leather, upon which the
rate was $125 per hundred pounds,
both by rail and by water.
The greatest difference was on gin
and whisky, upon which the rate was
so cents by water and $500 by rail
Water rates on iron and steel were
given as 25 to So cents, as compared
with 65 to so cents by rail. On agri-
cultural products, the water rate was
almost uniformly 81 per cent less than
tho all-rail rate. ="
