has some new ideas with regard to his
future as a screen writer.
Although it is one of Moses Ten In
structions to picture craftsmen that 20
per cent of audiences are women, Mr'
p.vne is going to take mere man into
his ken and write business stories for
his entertainment and inspiration:
Su1ar-candy heroes and heroines Will
still be with us in sufficient numbers TO
satisfy a certain audience, and Tor the
first time the neglected factor Will be
taken into consideration.
Mr.. Payne is white haired and
charming and gentle. If there were
more men of his caliber in this world It
would be better place.
Another person of interest on Miss
Hawley's set was Charles stevenson
who came from New York only three
weeks ago. He was shepherd Of the
Lambs Club for many years, and,
believe, Is the only one on the coast
now, with the exception of William

American girls will be forced to fall
out of style in the latest engagement

the fashion is to follow the Princess
Mary and wear an emerald instead of
the we'll known diamond. But promi-
nent jewelers. here say there would not
be enough to go around" In the first

than diamonds, and few people would be
able to purchase them. Again, they

None of US is without fault and
we are all of us just wee bit away
from being angels. l know some men
who are pretty raw in n moral sense,
but l have heard those very men utter
a howl of disgust at some of the sug-
gestive actions in n picture that did
not call for such actions, but in which
they we're put with a mistaken ideu
that the public likes rottenness.
II always think of this remark-'If
better were within, better would come
out'-in thinking of the director who
directed this picture. l stated that
the public was being educated to first
class pictures and wanted none other
than clean, wholesome, pleasing plays.
Ask them to explain why people come
laughing from serious play and come
away glum and down faced from a
comedy. Their letter stated that /

(It's mighty nice of you to say that
you missed me for a few days. But
don't you think I am entitled to at

Getting on the inside of the movies
is a hopeless proposition at the present
time, for it can be done only by getting
job in a studio and there are no jobs
to be had in these days of doldrums.
But you don't need that kind OF a
thing to write scenarios. The school
you mention-I could not print the
| name of course-is, as matter OF
! fact. a very good one and has graduated
more successful script writer's than any
other in the country. But the greatest
school is the moving picture theatre
itself. There are a number of good
books on photoplay writing. You can
get a list from any of the book stores.
