S5O0,O00 Spent Annually
To Reject Movie S<.riDtS

Unsolicited manuscripts OF orig
inal screen stories sent to producers
in Hollywood from all parts of the
world, are costing the industry close
to 100000 annually to maintain
! reading departments, according to
| Variety They seldom read the un-
solicited material, but are kept suf-
ticiently busy in recording receipt
| of the stories and returning them TO
the sender unopened.
The number Of stories received
daily in Hollywood averages around
200. 1t requires an average of IS
cents each in posta sc to return these
stories with registered card, making
a total of s27,74o that the picture
producers are forced to spend an
nually. Add two-thirds of this
amount necessary to get the stories
TO Hollywood, is total of s46,213
wasted yearly in postage because OF
that portion of the public who be-
lieye they have great ideas for q
picture and are unaware there is
no market in Hollywood for the un-
solicited original story.
The cost of handling these stories
Is a drop in the bucket compared
to the cost of fighting plagiarism
suits brought about by writer's who
claim to have submitted stories that
later show up on the screen as a
version of their ideas.
| A few decisions handed down ir
favor of the sharpshooting authors
have compelled the producers tt
take drastic and fool-proof measure.

reduce the number of accidents.
This is a simple method.
Massachusetts is the only state
with a complete system of compul-
sorry insurance for automobiles. 1t
is not too much to add that virtu-
ally every other state is watching
the result in Massachusetts. The
evil of autois.s sustaining losses
through collision with uninsured
and irresponsible drivers is wide
spread and the officials of every
state in the Union are graphing
with the problem. The only differ
ence is that Massachusetts has gone
further than any other state. And
the belief is current everywhere
that if the Bay state law proves
success it will be universally adopt
ed throughout the country.
One result of the law in Massa-
Chusetts has been that it has not
reduced the number of machines
on the highways; at least, the
states officials say it hasn't. How
they can Judge, however. is mys-
terry, as nobody is in position to
guess how many more machines
would be operated in the state did
the law not exist. Present machines
can be counted, but those not in OPP
Grafton on account Of the compul-
sorry insurance rates certainly can
not be. 1t is likely that the sanguine
conclusions of the officials is de-
signed to appeal to the automotiye
industry, which has been looking
askance at the Massachusetts eN-
pertinent. The belief of the indus
try seems to be that il all states
duce the number of machines on
the road and thus injure the indus
try at least slightly.
what selfish in this respect. No
account is taken of the losses sus-
tanned by innocent motorists who
are unfortunate enough to come to
grips with irresponsible drivers.
This menace is real one and is q
frequent source of complaint every
where.
The Connecticut law differs from
that in Massachusetts in that it
only goes half the way. The Nut
meg law has it that machine own
er must be financially responsible,
| through proper motor insurance or
| otherwise, after he has figured in
an accident. This is closing the door
after the car has been stolen--or
/ smashed. The law has caused much
.
raillery and no doubt will be
changed at the next Legislature
| possibly made more comprehensive
and possibly following the Massa
chusetts precedent. The only reason
/ the st2te did not go as far as Mas
| rachuSpttS did was because lcgiS-
| lators possessed a willingness to
see the Bay state do the expert
menting.
Regardless OF how the Massachu-
sets law is working, the funda-
mental idea is sound. An irrespon
sible driver. who because of this
realization is likely to be incau-
tious and reckless, has no inherent
right TO menace the property and
lives of others. The problem is 60
ing to be solved in this state, as
well as in all others. The lawmak-
ers of Massach usetts are entitled tC
commentator for being prepared
to grapple with the situation and
find a way out of the dilemma, fol
the benefit of their own citizenrA
as well as for The ultimate benefi'
Of citize nry elsewhere.
