erfui financiers. From New York the
action moves TO Cape Cod. where Mabel

that takes form at the beginning OF the
story is slowly woven into mighty
bond Of love.

ture. '

ONE OF the conspicuous deficiencies
of motion pictures in the past has
been the lack of authenticity when
the movement of plot has entailed the
introduction of technical or special-
lied activities of which the author
and director obviously had no ap-
preciable personal knowledge. Social
usages have been outraged times
without number. as for example the
classic title in not-long distant
picture when the wealthy doWager in
troduced a member of the nobility in
these extremely ludicrous terms, "Mr.
So-and-So, meet the countess" And
now many times has the law been
made laughable by authors and di-
rectors no more versed in it than to
be able to recognize a policeman by
sight,
But the day of crudity is passing.
Every successive release of the re-
pHtable producing units displays a
keener anxiety on the part of those
responsible for the creation of screen
entertainment to achieve accuracy
and convincing realism. Seldom, how :
ever. has such long step forward
been taken as in the case of Kather-
tions." which will be seen at the Net
ropolitan Theater this week. Do
mestic Relations" deals largely with
that popular basis for divorce action.
mental cruelty" Believing that
much marital unhappiness could be
forestalled. il not entirely avoided. if
husbands and wives could be made to
see themselves as others see them.
Judge ]. w. Summerfield, presiding
over the domestic relations court of
Los Angeles. collaborated on the
scenario of the photoplay in which
Miss Macdonald appears
Judge Summerfield is probab bly, one
of the best qualified jurists in the
country to deal with this subject. He
has granted scores of DEGREES when
he has convinced himself that fur
ther continuance of the marital rela.-
tions could only result in unhappiness.
On the other hand, by a few kindly
words of counsel he has brought
about many reconciliations. Judge
SUNNI erfield not only aided in the
preparation of the scenario from
which Domestic Relations" was
filmed. but also lent his advice on le-
gal matters during the entire period
of production of the picture. 1t is
his firm belief that he has done more
good through his participation in the
production of this new vehicle for
"the American beauty" than in his
many words of wisdom spoken from
the bench"

Plausible Stories Wanted.

"MAKE your characters hu-
man and avoid themes which
are bizarre and unfamiliar to your
own experience" is the advice of
Clara Kimball Young to those who
| aspire to success as scenario writers.
Since the announcement that this
popular screen star was to appear in
| screen version of Richard Wash
burn Child's THE Hands of Nara"
she has received numerous scripts
from writer's who seem to see in the
! theme OF her latest picture a desire
for unconventional stories peopled
with weird types.
More and more all the time the
public Is showing a preference for
pictures which tell a plausible, hu-
man story dealing with people whose
| motives they can understand and
whose lives lie within the scope of
their Imagination" continued Miss
Young.
Just as the popularity of the
screen vampire has waned. so has the
demand for the exotic, highly colored
stories which were SO prevalent a
few years ago. This is not to say
that originality and imagination will
not always be sought or that stories
which depart from the conventional
will not often be successful What
am trying TO suggest is that the mar
ket is greater and the inexperienced
scenarist is more likely to be sue
cessful with simple story and that
the market is greater for this type.
Most of the stories which come to
me from inexperienced writers reveal
a slavish imitation of some success-
full picture or striving for sensa-
tional effects and grotesque situa-
tions which have no basis in real
life The young writer seems afraid
to tackle ordinary. everyday subjects,
such as are told in 80 per cent of the
fiction appearing in the magazines.
There is a greater opportunity for
the capable scenario writer today
than there ever has been in the his
tory of motion pictures. Good sto-
ries are In demand and are COM
manding high prices. but they must
be original and plausible"
