Hope Hampton denies that she in.
tends to quit the screen and go into
vaudeville as a singer. She is now
filming Fannie Hurst's story, "Star
Dust" for release through Associated
First National. Hope, however, does
not deny that she can sing. Her friends
deplore the fact that silent drama can
not give expression to her beautiful
soprano voice. They are cheered, how
ever, by the fact that talking pictures
have already been introduced. Maybe
when singing pictures are perfected,
the public will have chance to hear
Hopes voice. The outlook seems to
be hopeful for Hope.

Not the Methods
OF Bygone Days

Scenarios are not turned out over
night. The days when writers were
called in at iif the afternoon and re-
quested to produce three-reeler for
this or that star on the lot before
morning are gone1 The picture game
was a green one then and the audi
ences were not so varied or discrimi-
mating as those of to-day. They were
more easily satisfied by the then new
form of entertainment
"Scenario writing is mot an easy way
of earning ones bread and butter. Rec
ognition is long time in coming and
arrives only after earnest, hard work.
Outsiders do not realize this, but per-
sons intimately connected with the film
industry understand that TO write a
purchasable scenario is most diff
cult task.
"I am calling scenario that which
is commonly known as screen synop-
sis. A scenario includes the continuity
generally, but the word synopsis is
misleading, for it suggests resume,
whereas story written for the screen
is much more than an outline.
Original Ideas Need Not
Be Megaphoned About
"It does not pay film companies to
buy mere ideas and then sit down to
worry and build them up into fve-reeA
pictures. Occasionally we Go buy
stories which do not contain sufficient
material for picture; but when we
do, the story boasts of real, fresh
idea. The man Or woman to-day who
has an unlimited store of genuinely or
iginal ideas need not herald the fact
