But the gangster soon got busy on a telephone, and when Larry reached the city he was met by a committee" who had orders to square accounts. Larry battled bravely against heavy odds, and made his escape by leaping from the ferry bridge to the roof of a passing trolley car-minus his suit case-and dropping off a block further on.
 Newly outfitted by a tailor, Larry called upon the Beaumonts-and de- termined he would call again. In fact, he was in love, and Alice wasn't far from it.
 At the Beaumont home, Larry smet Rodney Curtis, an interruptions chap and a suitor for Alice's hand. He dishked Curtis, and the 1atter's jeal- ousy was quickly manifest While the three were riding in Golden Gate Park, Larry rescued from death, by daring and fine horsemanship, little girl on a runaway pony AHce's eyes told her admiration.
 Casey, the gang leader, aiming to square accounts, had Larry 1ured in the name of the country girl whom he had befriended on the. train She was now a cigarette girl The gang was on hand, Larry came, and there was a battle royal.
 Later Larry again found the cigar cite girl, and he and Pee Wee, his cowboy butler, gave her shelter in the apartment. Learning of this, Alice, in pique, accepted Curtis. The latter, to prevent any further rivalry, hired Casey's gang ofsthugs to attend to Larry, whom he had invited to a road house. In the effort to kill him, one of the gunmen was ki11ed-and Larry was arrested on murder charge
 Casey's attempt to b1ackmai1 Beau mont as prospective father-in-law of Curtis led to the discovery that Curtis had fired the shot that killed the gun man. This cleared Larry and dis posed of Curtis.
 Not long after this, Mir and Mrs Larry Mcbride returned to the Mo Bride ranch as a part of their we'd ding trip.

How NOT To Write A Scenario!

Drama should be the predominant ing ingredient of a motion picture story, according to Lucien Hubbard. chief of the scenario department at Universal City. Write history if you will, write propaganda, drive home
 lesson or construct an autobiography, he advises-but make these things incidental to the drama of the story. Audiences will accept the pill you wish to give them if it is sufficiently coated with interesting entertaining drama
 +Tn addition to the predominating ingredient of drama there may be opportunity for fine photographic eff fleets, for the women characters to wear elaborate costumes. even a. moral may be gently conveyed - but everything must be subordinate to
 "Our department returns hum dreds of manuscripts every week, and naturally we cannot write each con- trfbutor a personal letter and go into details why his or her story is not available for production. But in 99 cases out of 100 the reason is the lack of dramatic material in the scenario. We receive dozens of theme, in which the writers air a personal grievance rather than create an interesting story with dramatic been submitted on the subject of Prohibition and Blue Laws, and al- most invariably the author has writ ten propaganda rather than drama.
 +tOthers have taken the story of their lives, or the lives of their friends, and called our attention to the fact the stories were true to life This is not always an advantage- While there is basis for drama all about us, the existence of most of us is commonplace Even the most ad- venturous life must be high lighted and concentrated, provided with necessary conflicts and contrasts, to make it really dramatic and interest ing
 '"The most elaborate settings and costlieSt costumes will not make a photodrama- The most careful de- tail and most faithful atmosphere will not make an interesting picture. All these features merely enhance the value of a good story and help make it 10oHo perfect It has al- ways been my contention that per feet drama can be enacted against simple background. No matter how excellent a scenario may me, the best producers will not spare any ex- penSe in settings costumes and de- tail. A gem may sparkle under any
