In the two previous articles l
have told of the needs of the screen
and of what the beginner in scenario
writing should know, do, and re-
member.
After absorbing the essentials of
how to write synopsis, we then
step forward to a choice of theme.
To start with, we know we must
create story which in its finality
must be thrown ON a screen before
minds of all classes.
Choice of Theme.
The object must be entertainment.
It. stands to reason that the subject
must be as wide an appeal as pos
sible.
For this reason, let us first
exempt plays based on ancient or
medieval times. These have proved
unpopular with the masses. Like
wise fairy stories.
Owners and managers of motion
picture theaters throughout the
country assert that their audiences
do not want these kind of stories.
The cost of producing such types
of plays is more than that of mod
ern day, owing to the fact that all
the players must appear in the cos
tunes of the period designated.
This means extra cost for costumes.
Cost an Item.
The sets or scenery must also be
dressed accordingly. This adds to
the expense. Therefore, in selecting
theme it is advisable not to choose
the above mentioned.
Sometimes a theme simply floats
into the consciousness. The theme
for my Alaskan play, The Flame
OF the Yukon" came to me as l
watched a pair of Alaskan dogs
held in leash by young woman in
Santa Monica. <s
"The Flame of the Yukon" was
produced as a Triangle Kay-Bee
picture, and was largely responsible
for bringing Dorothy Dalton to the
fore as an emotional actress of first
rank.
The theme for "The Apostle of
Vengeance" which l wrote especial
ly for Bill Hart, came to me in
church. The minister was hurting
from the pulpit the admonition,
DO not be All apostle for the sake
of vengeance" This served as the
keynote for what a short time later
was the screen drama about Ken
tuck mountain feudists.
Don't Do This.
The person who sits down and
decides to write a drama for the
screen simply because he heard of
someone else doing likewise is not
liable to gain any definite results.
He might sit down and say to him
self. Il will write screen play,
Shall it be plot somewhat like

II lCHARD CARLE, surrounded

ers and prima donna

Boyd Friday and Saturday of next
week. Mr.. Carrie and his associates
come direct from successful run of
three months at the -Studebaker
theater, Chicago. The score of
Sunshine" written by Alexander
Johnstone is said to contain more
tuneful melodies than all the other
musical comedies combined, The
book by William Carey Duncan con-
tains a real plot, interspersed with
laugh-provoking situations. The
supporting company contains names
familiar to theater-g oers, all of them
having well-trained voices. One of
the hfg features is the Murdoch
brothers, trio of dancers who set
all Chicago agog by their clever an
ties with their nin1ble feet.
Although it is the comedy of the
current Orpheum bill which makes
the show extremely popular, there
are several features Of musical
type that win particular favor. One
is the violin and singing act con-
tributed by Eddie Janis and Rene
Chaplow. Then there is the sing
ing and dancing turn pleasingly
offered by the Omaha girls, the
Lachmann sisters. Harry Green

Nevertheless. the maximum

being done with less shortage of
transportation than manifested
itself at times in the pre-war per-
iod. Particular attention is being
paid by the railroad administra-
ton to furnishing necessary equip

and of grain. It was decided early
in September that in order to meet

have made it necessary to handle
the wheat situation in an emer-
gency way. This situation has
been complicated by the fact that
many OF the elevators are full and
it has been impracticable to move
additional wheat TO points where
the elevators are full. because to
do so would cause large numbers
Of railroad cars to be filled with
grain which could not be disposed
of at destination. and this would
result in practically taking such
cars out Of the transportation ser
vice and using them for storage
and depriving the public generally

and the result is that under exist e
ing conditions more cars have to
be used for the same amount of
traffic than were used last year.
There are various othsr important
respects in which traffic was con-
troIled in the interest of the war

fact that there is still 4 shortage

AMERICAN IMPORTERS AND DO
MESTlc ROASTERS PoWERLESs

San Francisco, August 11.-Amer-
ican importers and domestic roasters
and handlers of coffee are powerless
to stop the rise in price of coffee ac-
cording to a statement issued here
today by the Pacific Coast Coffee
Roasters Association.
The statement declares that circum-
stances over which American dealers
haze no control have forced the prices
of coffee to their present high level.
The advance is attributed principally
to the shortage in this years Brazilian
coffee crop, which owing to the severe
frost of July 1913 will be cut to one
half its normal size. This depl sted
crop began coming on the market
about July this year and. according
to the roasters, will largely have to
supply the needs of this country aud
Europe for the next twelve months.
Last years frost, the worst exper.
fence in more than quarter of a cen.
tury, of total of SOO,0O0.oo0 in the
San Paulo district the greatest
est coffee producing section of Brazil,
killed 16O,O000O0 young trees. More
than 3O0,000.O0 mature trees were so
badly damaged they had to be cut
down at the roots. Even under favor
able conditions these trees cannot be
made to yield crop for three years
On top of the short crop the Europ
can demand has been enormous since
the signing Of the armistice and with
practically the entire surp1usNof coffee
stocks of former years used up during
the war there is not enough coffee in
sight to meet the demand which is
being made by the entire world.
The coffee roasters statement in
conclusion says: a
TT is misleading and unfair to blame
the coffee importers OF this country
for conditions over which they have
no control and which are even more
unwelcome to them than they are to
the consumer. Any importer, jobber
coffee roaster or retail grocer will tell
you that the high price is seriously in
terfering with his business. 1t is well
known principle that it is harder to
make profit on high market than
low one"
