chanicaI side of picture production
ord the intense cultivation of the
business of selling and distribution
have SO enormously engaged the az
tention of the producers as to exclude
n study of the application OF produc-
ton economies to the choice OF story
material. -
But It will be the next readjnst-
ment in the motion picture business.
Some time in the future. your good
story which may now be purchased
because it is a good story, won't be
purchased until the producer Is sure
that he can command the service OF
some actor, who can adequately por-
tray a character upon whom the ex-
cellence of the story may depend.
Some day q good situation-or
idea-will not be bought until 1t rs
pretty we'll proven that the $S0,Ooo
which that feature of the story
would cost to produce will. be worth
that much, with a profit attached.
Some day no story will be- pur-
chased until a corps Of screen writers
and other technicians have looked IT
| over with a great deal more care
than is now given to such processes.
! They do it pretty generally already,
but not as infinitely as they will.
All of which leads to the natural
question as to where the next gen.
Grafton of screen writers Is coming
| from. do not believe they are COM
| ing from the ranks of established
! fictionists. A few, yes. But not many.
When a writer has achieved sue
cess, he generally has reached that
| period of life when habits of thought
! and methods of working are set.
| Usually he either does not care to
exert himself to learn n new medium
! of expression or he is incapable Of
doing so.
Who will learn this new art from
| the ground up and what rewards
| await them is our next concern.

Adirondacks may be as expensive as
the ball room, etc. ETC., until the
dost of publishing the book mounts
up and up into the hundreds OF
thousands.
Considering the above, TASK your
self these questions:
Would you, as a writer of novels
published under those circumstances.
be compelled to learn something
about the technical side of book pro-
Eduction in order to be an accepted
contributor Of stories in the eyes OF
book publishers?
Would you be as much in demand
among publishers If you refused to
consider his cost sheets as the writer
who made a study of them and tried
to make his stories conform to some
thing resembling commercially pos
sible venture when produced?
Would not the writer who could
take the same story and, by thought
and ingenuity, tell it with as much
dramatic intensity as another writer
for half the cost be the more sue
cessful of the two?
Several novelists of admitted artis-
tic ability and no small repute have
been asked questions and they all
have replied that, under circum-
stances such as l have just outlined,
they would undoubtedly have to
know all about the technical side of
publishing their novels.
My point now is that there is only
one place in the world where this
can be learned. In the studio. There
is only one way to get that knowl-
edge in the studio BY actually going

AS TuberculOus
During February

There were 1864 cattle turberculin
tested in Maine during the month of
February 1924 by the three State CO.
operative veterinarians. and II dis
eased cattle were condemned as tu-
berculous, according to the report
given out Thursday by DR.. j. e.
Reidy, L. S. inspector in charge of
tuberculosis eradication.
DIR. Reidy reported that few bad
~ diseased herds were found in sec
tions where no testing had been ask
ed for previously. Among these was
one herd of ure-bred cattle in which
% were found tuberculous out of 40
in the herd. 1t would have taken
only a few months more for this en-

tuberculosis.
