BUT WHO is RIGHT?

The Paris newspapers are AS
serting that the British are lined
up with the Germans against the
French over the issue in Tpper
Silesia. The time has passed f0r
that sort Of international propa-
ganda. What the world wants to
know is not so much the lineup
as which side is in the right
Paris assumption that mere aSSer-
tlon will settle this point can not
be accepted. There is as much
! room for asserting that the
French are lined up with the
Poles, but that does not dispose
Of the question either.
1t is a matter that at present
only remotely concerns America.
but it might easily reach the
stage of general embodiment into
which we might again be drawn.
1t is not an issue to be settled
by sending French division
across Germany to uphold the
Poles against the Germans, but
one to be adjuster by frank con
versations, such as have since the
armistiee avoided open breaks.
and in instances like Fiulne led
to an amicable settlement. The
world is in no mood for militarist
heroics. such as the Paris press
is indulging in.

The great distributing companies

the author. Each studio employs a

knows what kind OF stories his public
wants; generally he is an old news
paperman or an ex-magazine editor.
Having bought the story. he turns It
over 10 a sccnarioist--the continuity
writer" This type OF specialist is
much in demand. since no story can
survive a badly constructed scenario.
The scenario writer puts the story
into picture form exactly as drama
tist may put novel into play form
for the stage. 1t is the soenarioist, or
continuity writer, who really gives 10
the story It's screen value. Hence
the very large prices paid for this
work when i, is well done. Mex, in
Inc is the director, who takes the
scenario and sets out to make the pic
ture.

There is shortage OF directors at
present. and for that reason salaries
are particularly high in this line. but.
of course. direction is a profession
which takes many years OF study.
In beginning work on his picture.

manager, who is really the head OF
the employment Office. The studio
manager eonsults with him as to the
