How To Put Comedy Relief
In Contest Scenarios

exact words, since it is the firm IL
ties, and not the action, that will
furnish the comedy.
If the comedy came from New
lands taking two of the miners and
cracking their heads together, we
would not tell what he said while do
ing this. but would merely state what
he did.
When your story is developed in
your mind or from your notes, write
your synopsis, detailing your action
from the start of the story to the
end, or climax and denouement.
This done, take your pencil and
go over what you have written, and
you will be surprised to see just how
much you can condense 1.-THE num-
Der of words you can cross out, the
amount of conversation you can elm
mate as unnecessary, the sentences
that you can re-Write in briefer
way.
Do this several times. Then go
back and read your story, and if you
find that in some places more eX-
plantations are really needed to clari-
fly the action, add them briefly. But
don't do this until you have boiled
down your synopsis to a point where
it will stand a little essential elab-
Grafton.
If now your synopsis tells an in
teresting, dramatic story, logically
and clearly developed in plain Eng
fish. with no points obscured by too
many words or too much converse
ton, and yet with essential details
briefly outlined, you will have writ
ten a good synopsis that will receive
careful consideration, and you will
have mastered one of the main diff
culties Of writing a photoplay'
If you haven't started that photo
play-based perhaps on some char
acter you know or some dramatic cpl
sode Of your own life-sit down and
begin it now.
You have as good chance as any
one to win one of the big prizes
$1,000 for the best. and $1,000 and
81 900 respectively for second and
third best screen scenarios written
to suit the personality and film pres
ence of Louise Glaum, well known
motion picture star.
1t can't be done in an hour or two.
But it isn't as hard as you might ex-
pect, say those who have become
scenario experts.
More helpful information will be
given YOU from day to day in the

UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE

BY BESSIE MOORE CHURCHILL
THROUGH the gladstone Christmas season
Filled with comfort, love and cheer
When all hearts OVERLOOKING
With the joyous atmosphere
Shall there be some hearts gladdened
Shall the day be bright or not
For the poor and patient sufferer
On his dismal narrow cot?
Shall the air be filled with music
And the songs of children gay
And only those with blessings
Be happy Christmas dayp
Think you not it would be better
IF the poor hearts made glad
And the CHEEKY smile of Yulehde
Lighted faces, and sada
Won't you help the White Plague Victims
Let the world know that you feel
In human sympathy for them
And buy the Red Cross Scalp
1t will cost you but penny
Just trihe, say,
But it harvests in the millions
Ger a wide and scatt ring way;
And helping in this fight for health
His words will to thee:
To do it for the least Of these,
You do it me-.

1t was a wonderfully good natured
crowd, considering the shock many
of them were receiving, that congre-
gated in front of the Times-Recorder
office last evening and listened to
the reading and watched the posting
of the bulletins which poured in rap
idly from Z 80 to IL o'clock.
The Times-Recorder was one of SO
Georgia newspapers receiving this
special election service from the In
ternational News Services Atlanta
bureau. Its excellence was generally
commended.
The weather was fair, with a clear
sky and cool breeze. Forrest street
was closed for the entire block, to
rrevent congestion of cars, and bench
seats, generously provided by John
Shiver. planning mill operator and lum-
Der dealer, furnished comfortable
places for several hundred who came
first. Inside, on the clean tile floor,
and with electric fans buzzing, were
scores of comfortable chairs supplied
by the Allison Furniture company,
but the cool outside air, and the ge-
niality of the crowd proved more at
tractive and very few remained long
inside.
The returns were tabulated on the
bulletin boards, into which the two
large front plate glass windows had
been transformed, as fast as they
were received by telegraph, and the
crowd eagerly and interestedly
