WHAT BECOMES OF THE GOLD?

One of the curiosites of the golden flood which has
poured the people of the United States since the

actually added to the existing stock of gold manufac
lures and is exclusive of the large quantities of old
teral turned in the assay offices and there
formed into condition in which the metal could be
utilized for similar lines of work
Most of the gold used by the manufacturers of the
country is presumably purchased direct from the
offices and the mnts and the reports of the Director
of the Mint show that these purchases prior the

and SS,o00,000 year of "old material. In 1916
when imports of gold jumped TO practically $780,

increased the sales of 'new gold by the assay offices

1920 the gold sold exceeded $50 900 in value
while the total for 1921 will approximate $4,000 900

the money her father had left her in
order that he might found his own

produce his own works OF art. All of

Thus. Tony was able to complete his

Before the big feature picture came
into vogue says our friend, the
scenario editor. and the unit of mo-
ton picture entertainment was the
single reel-l.ooo feet there was
naturally a greater number of sub
tects and the chances Of the scenario
writer were a little better. The COM
pensation in those days. however. was
ridiculously small. The scenario was
the lcast important consideration in
the making of a picture. ! know of
one director who used to gather his
ferry to Fort Lee, n. j.. where tho
studio was located. He wrote his own
scenario on his cuffs after the ferry
left the New York side.
For long period the scenario re-
manned an extremely minor feature
compared to the Importance OF the
star. The public went to sec its favor
lite moving picture actors and actresses
regardless OF the type of stories they
appeared in; glaring discrepancies in
the narrative did not bother them. But
gradually as the number OF stars In
creased and the delightful novelty OF
moving pictures Wore off. they began
to turn mildly critical eye upon the
stories. Then the day of tho scenario
writer dawned. Companies started hir-
ing individuals at large scalaries to do
nothing but write scenarios for GER
tain stars. while scenarios were loud
~ solicited from the general public. a
moderately good scenario in thiso days
brought from 500 to 81 900 which is a
trtflc higher than tho rate paid today.
This period, however. did not last
long. Soon 1t was seen that the best
copy for long six-reel features was un-
doubtedly the popular novel. and the
large companies started buying the
picture rights of well known books.
The scenario writer-cspccially the un-
trained. unknown scenario writer-lost
out to the successful author. Even the
scenario experts employed by tho large
producing companies ceased turning
out original movie dramas and changed
their titles to Continuity experts" a
few of them. refusing to abandon orig
inal creative work. became directors.
This lis largely the way things stand
today. Tho demand for tho works of
successful authors is still booming and
as there Is every indication that tho |
supply will hold out indefinitely. 1t is
probable that the call for outside SEN.
arios will not be heard again for years i
to come.
