By ROBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. l. Frank Craven, who acts when he isn't writing, has a nice job on his hands.
 It is to write a screen story to feature two little boys he has never seen, two very famous little boys, and their mother, who is equally wel,- known. It is the story that will initiate the two young sons of Charles Chaplin to their fathers profession.
 Craven, sitting in his office at the studio the other morning, ad- mitted he hadn't the shadow of an idea what sort of story he would write. But he was smil- ingly unwo51jed.
 q know Til get it written,' he said. "Tns mechanical job of putting a story on paper never worries me. The only question is my mind, ;s, will the studio like it? But I haven't any control over that, so whats the use of worry ing?"
 Craven, author of 14 plays, in many of which he has appeared, has had experience entitling him to freedom from worry in that regard or any other pertaining to his craft Fox recently completed filming of lis '"The First Year" and several other of his plays have been screened.
 And, coTbsred to some of the dramatic tasks he has handled, the confectica of a screen story for Lita Gray Chaplin and Charles Spencer, J4. and Sidney Earle is mere routine.
 Craven may have no idea as yet on the type of picture he'll write, but has definite ideas or what it will not be. The chief of these IS tLat it will in no way descend to the poor taste of trad ing on the success of the young ster's father.
 i've seen the boys in newsreels," he says, ".Ano they're a clean-cut, attractive Lair of kids. That's how they'll be presented just as they are.
 T don't know yet whether Miss Grey will play their mother in the film-she may be cast of their aunt, or a friend, or just as a young woman in the story. All that has to be decided"
 Craven, on the stage since he was three years old, and a mem Der of family full of stage names, acted for the screen in his "The Very Idea" produced as m early talkie. but has no acting plans for his present sojourn.
