tho production Of q picture from the
angle of the camera.
"You will notice." said Mr.. Veiller,
in commenting upon the list Of au-
thors. that practically all Of them
have been regular writer's for the
magazine that has the largest circula-
tion in America. We believed that au-
thors who could appeal to this large
audience through the printed word
could make az successful an appeal
through the screen. There was another
factor in the situation. Without wish
ing to cast slur on any magazine or
on the stage, it is nevertheless true
that both have become in a sense the
shop windows for the screen; large
number of plays and o much larger
number of short stories and novelettes
are written with an eye to the screen.
The authors receive twice to five times
as much for the screen rights to their
stories as they do for the original
payment. Why not, then, If they are
to write with an eye to the screen. let
them write for the screen first, and, if
they wish. adapt their screen stories
to magazine use later?
"ln this way" continued Mr.. Veiller,
we encourage the writing Of stories
direct for the screen, we emphasize
story in making q picture, and we give
the authors, by allowing them to d.
rect their own pictures, fairer deal
than they have ever had before. The
work Of the author in making pict-
ure will be very similar to that of q
working dramatist such as Winchel!
Smith, George Broadhurst and others.

OF the average writer for the screen
has been parallel to that of the drama

thing to say, and that knew no other
rule. A few years ago a young man
who had just finished Professor Ba

technique. When Mr.. veiller was
asked what was to be done with authors
who knew nothing of the technique
of directing, he answered by refusing
to admit any unusual difficulty in the
mastery Of screen techniques in any
case the authors were to learn to
direct. Most of them were eager to
do this; the practise in the past had
been to buy at generous price the
work of given author, and to turn
over its translation to the screen to
The hands of continuity writer and a
director, neither of whom might grasp
the authors ideas.
For the author coming to the screen
ignorant of its technique, continued
Mr.. WELLER, there were the director,
the cameraman, the technical director
to consult, if necessary. Any man
who had knowledge Of plot building.
Of situation building, of dramatic
values, had already gained nine-tenths
of the knowledge necessary for the
supervision of a motion picture produc-
tion. Practically all that he needed
to learn that was new was to look at

$50 there you are," commented Miss
Riano. II kept the same sort Of act
in vaudeville, and am doing, with the
addition of some mprovisations, the
same thing in Honey Girl In our
act in this show there Is always some
provised business. That comes, per-
haps, because it's such fun playing In
a musical comedy. where each mem
Der of the cast works as if he or Rhe
owned a percentage in the show.p
In spite Of the fact that she has
spent all except an unimportant six
weeks of her life on the stage, Miss
Riano is not one to offer indiscrimi-
nate advice to the ambitious to go OH
the stage.
II wouldn't want a child Of mino to
ways advise girls who are stage struck
not to go on unless they have genu-
inc and unmistakable talent. Unless
you ara a real success on the stage,
there is very little reward. Even those
who are successful get less than is
commonly supposed, perhaps they get
big salary for while, and part of
it goes here and part there. Then
the. engagement comes to an end, and
the future is uncertain. The public,
too, is tickle; it will forget it's favor
ties in few years if they happen to
drop out of sight for brief time. The
greatest reward of the stage is intan-
gible; it comes to me, for instance, in
the fun Of making people laugh. I
wouldn't exchange my part for one
that brought applause, for l had much

THE PROFITS FROM PROFITEER.
ING.

Little Cuba swallowed in its wealth
wEile sugar was pivoting in prices.
Bue the moment the stills were
knocked from. under the fictitious
prices of that commodity, Cuba run
up the white flag, and it was neces-
sary for the President of that Repub-
lie to declare a moratorium until
December l, in order to keep the
country from going on the toboggan.
The big story of Cuba is identical
to the small story which exists in
every community of our land. Insti-
tutions which have made more money
in a single year than they had ever
made before in dozen years, can
not see their way clear to lower
prices and ito help the country to re-
store itself to its normal conditions.
This is doubly hard if it makes it
necessary to sell the stock of goods
on hand at actual cost-or below
cost. Nevertheless, the sad news is
dawning, and even the profteers are
beginning to understand that the
boom days are over, and that they
must adopt the methods of far-seeing
industrial leaders who declare that
it is high time to return to the con-
sevative standards in trade and in
dustry.
