ADA MEADE TELLS
WHY PLAYERS KEEP
CLIPPING BOOKS

Why does every actor cherish the
press book Of clippings on his own
performance and why is he so sensi-
tive to criticism?
Ada Meade, the talented leading
lady of the Garrick Players, has some
pertinent thoughts on the subject
based on her own wide experience.
IAN actor offers performance for
sale, as does a musical Interpreter.
What those who see and criticize
actually look at and listen to Is the
actor or musician himself or herself
performance Is not a concrete
thing. 1t has no life or substance.
except in the memories of those who
see and hear 1t. 1t is gone, but the
man or woman who gave the per-
formance is left and becomes for all
practical purposes, the target of criti-
cism. 1t is difficult for the stage per-
former to divorce himself from his
performance in thought, and it is
highly probable that the public takes
little conscious thought of a per-
FORMER. So the critic. no matter how
much he may keep in mind distinc-
ton. really is put In the position Of
Offering criticism OF the actor or the
singer
The actor sells SO intangible a
product that he himself stands for the
product. This is why he takes criti-
cism of his work so much to heart,
and why he often appears to show
little discretion in his attitude toward
criticism

ance Of writer's in preparing stories
for the screen:
Don't worry about scenario tech
nique. but tell your story in simple
language.
Don't try to write your story in
one sitting, but sketch the skeleton
of your plot first and then work
out the dressing"
Don't go in for obvious cohclu-
sions. but try to give twists to
your situations that will offer an
element of surprise.
Don't resort to the long arm Of
coincidence. 1t has long since been
yanked out Of joint.
Don't forget that action Is one Of
the prime requisites in the success
of a photoplay.
Don't try to write your story
about the personality of a star or
player you have seen on the
screen. Write the story for the
sake of the story itself.
Don't forget to write the kind of
story that will be understood by
the masses.
Don't overlook the fact that hui
man stories are generally the most
successful.
Don't forget-above everything
else-to be logical.
