They did work in the horses. IN n

Now Just simmer down. That's Il
The opening scene OF the next film
was laid in an office. with an impress
sive array Of typewriters. letter files and

Wants to Marry Ruth THAT'S simpler"
That's good photography" declared
Warren. Good lighting up act.'' as a
butler entered the darkened room and
turned up the light
"A weI1-taken picture anyways appealed
to Warren He was good amateur
ciate any special effects in focus and
lighting.
Amt that the game man we saw IN.
the feature film last night?' asked q
woman's voice behind them.
Yes" and he's got on the same fur
overcoat."
Helen looked at the furIined coat which
the man threw to the butler with a
lordly air. and wondered in how many
pictures 1t had served.
The next picture showed Ruth weak
from lack of food, falling in the snow
and being driven over by the sleigh of
her former employer.
'.Oh. how could they get THAR" for the

proved Warren.
Then eSme the announcement of the
spectacular feature = The viper's
Fangs."
Wen pass that up" Warren arose. |
Guess we've had our ven cents worth. |
Come on"
Helen pinned on her hat and they made
their way out.
Pretty good show as they paused in |
the lobby to button his coat
And some of those films were very
expensive" reflected Helen.
THE photography and the settings
were all fine"
Helen took his arm impulsively
Dear. everybody's writing scenarios |

Warren shifted.
''welr we could write better stories |
than we've seen tonight"
That wouldn't be doing whole lot |
"Oh. II we could only write some real |
stories, persisted Helen. Not spec
tscular films. but stories of every day
life. A young couple starting housekeep- |
irg. for instance. Show them renting |
their apartment. buying furniture. fix
ing up-aII the little domestic Incidents /
Wouldn't that be Interestingly"
Um-m. but where's your Story?"
"Oh. haven't worked 1t out. but I'm |
sure story could be worked out along |
those lines
IT'S not what the people want The
thrillers, the blood-and- thunder general /
hu'labaloo dope-that's what they're af-
ter"
Dear, don't believe it is. don't |
believe it's what the people want I'm
sure Il somebody would write series
o. domestic stories that were real-oh, l
know they'd make an appeal II only
could write themv. wistfuIly.
We'll. since about nine-tenths OF the /
populace are trying to write for the L
movies, I guess the companies can worryI
along without your contributions"
Yet. all the way home In the subway
lusive ideas, which she felt held aIluring
pc ssibilities OF fame and fortune IL they
could only ko crystaiized into moving
pictures.
