SHEPARD & GLUoK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 1s.-The labor
troubles in the steel industry were the main
factor in the trading in cotton during the
greater part of the day and they prevented
reports of a better spot demand and the
firmer tone of the foreign exchange market
from having sustained effect on values
until the steel troubles take a definite turn,
way or the other 1t would appear that
more legitimate influences will have limited
bearing on the market.

SIS PER MONTH
RAISE ASKED BY
CITY FIREMEN
In Written Request to Com
missioner Zimman Men De-
clare That Immediate Ac-
ton Is Necessary.

CITY Commissioner Zimman. who
has charge Of the fire department.,
Yesterday received a written request
from members of the department,
asking for general increase OF SIS
per month in their pay.
On the basis of 325 men in the
department., the increase asked tor
would amount to 100000 year
When this matter was presented
to Mr.. Zimman informally few
weeks ago he asked the men to
wait until the annual city budget
shall have been made up about the
first of the year. The men now
ask for a sympathetic and imme-
date consideration"
Say Self-Denial Necessary.
"NNe have exercised scrupulous
economies and self-denials and we
are forced to the conclusion that
self-denial to the point of loss OF
physical efficiency will be neces-
sary, or else our credit will be ex-
banded to the point of danger"
reads the petition.
The petition further indicates that
the men are not willing to wait
Several months as requested by
Mr.. Zimman.
TIL. men, in their petition, refer to
Herbert Hoover as having said that
food prices will not be reduced in
the early future. References are
made to the high cost of rent. food,
clothing and to the inability OF send
ing their children to school in the
appearance desired.

crease of SIS per month January |

The Screen and Pictures Flashed Upon It

striking in itself, but to keep from
starving she starts to sell herself.
The first man she accosts, in a sor-
did dive, happens to be her long
lost sweetheart. The violinist in
the orchestra happened to be his
brother, the longlost heir. The fact
that none of the trio knew each of
the others were present is straining
too much at dramatic license. 9th
erwise, from a directing and acting
standpoint, the play was perfect. This
is a piling of chance upon chance in
which the long arm coincidence is
only too apparent.
Episode and Chapter. 49,
In the screen drama the episode
compares to what is chapter in a
novel and an act in the spoken
drama. In an episode is preserved
the unity of time and place. When
a set of characters is transferred to
another location, with a time lapse
in between, this is known as an
episode. This is usually indicated
out on one set of characters on the
screen and then circle in with a
subtitle usually covering a lapse of
time. Technically the circle is called
iris" There is usually no necessity
for the amateur to be aware of the
episode except that it might help
him in construction, to be able to
arrange his play in chapters or cpl
sodes. This can be designated on
paper by a double or triple space
between the paragraph terminating
one episode and the beginning of
the next.
The episode in the screen drama
was introduced and perfected by the
old Triangle Kay-Bee scenario de-
partment, consisting of c. Gardner
Sullivan, ]. G. Hawks, John Lynch,
R. Cecil Smith and myself. In all
fairness and without egotisnl l firm
ly believe that this scenario staff
was the most co-ordinated creative
force and the most prolific in the
entire history of the silent drama.
Don't Be Discouraged.
If the reader is determined to be
a screen author he may as we'll con-
clude not to become easily discour-
aged.
When Robert Louis Stevenson was
once asked how to become sue
cessful writer he said to the effect
that it consisted of write, write,
write, tear up, rewrite, tear up, and
rewrite some more. This applies
equally we'll to the, shadow drama.
The great text book is the motion
picture theater. See pictures and
study them. Dissect and analyze
them. When and how can you inn
prove them? Note how the plot
develops, how the characters are in
troduced, how the suspense is
handled up to the climax and how
it ends. After you have seen a pic
ture rehearse the story in your con-
seriousness from beginning to end.
How does the love interest devel-
op? What obstacles are overcome?
The screen is your text book. Study
it carefully.
A list of the various studios and
their scenario requirements is COM
piled and published in most all Of
the monthly picture magazines.

DeMille's. Don't Change Your
Husband based on a double di-
vorce, homely theme like Gfiffith's
Romance of Happy Valley or a
romantic drama along the lines Of
Soldiers of Fortune?'" The writer
who does this is very likely to pro-
duce nothing but shallow effort.
Conceived in this hand-mc- down
manner, it will scarcely have the
breath OF life in it. The result will
probably be like the queer animal
described by the intoxicated sailor,
Cannot exist on land and perishes
in the water"
If, on the other hand, in the
course of romantic reading, some
character should take hold upon
your Imagination and demand to be
Interpreted, or some incident or
episode should, as it were, startle
you by putting on vivid dramatic
form before your minds eye, you
should by all means yield to the
inspiration and try to mold the
theme into drama.
Story and Plot.
The story or plot is, by tradition
and practical reason, the fundamen-
tai element in creating for the
screen. Incident and situation are
akin to story plot.
In starting to write a screen play
it is advisable to begin your story
with the first thing of importance,
carry it through its various devel-
opments and bring it to a close Do
not try to be complex.
A great dramatist was once
asked what was the secret of sue
cessful play writing. He answered,
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry,
make 'em wait" This applies equal
ly as we'll to the shadow drama.
The screen is nothing but a place
where the human will is developed,
attaching the various obstacles to it
by destiny, or circumstance.
In creating screen play introduce
the principal characters in the en-
vironment in which you wish to
start. Do not slight any descrip-
ton either OF incident or character.
1t is advisable to get into the story
proper as soon as possible.
Arouse Interest In Plot.
Arouse interest in your plot and
characters from the start. Intimate
what obstacles are to be overcome.
Develop your love story and lead up
to the climax. 1t is taken for granted
that the story will possess a love
interest of some sort.
Be careful of overworking the long
arm of coincidence. This factor
spoiled what might have otherwise
been splendid screen drama of
recent date. A girl who was separ-
ated from her lover in San Francis
CO, four years later, meets him in
London. This is not necessarily
