SCREEN STORY, HOW TO GET II,
 TOLD BY LLOYD
Director Passes Up Nothing Has Many Success
 es from Formula
By ROBBIN cooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec o. Frank Lloyd's formula for selecting a screen story is interesting and simple, but it runs into complica- tions
 After reading a yard, he asks him. self; Two years from now will remember this story?"
 And if the story k good enough to justify an affirmative answer, he believes the story has every chance of making great movie.
 The complications arise because finding that kind of story means blowing through hundreds, even thousands, of scripts. Lloyd recent ly completed Maid of Salem" and already has begun the quest for another story He has Gilbert Ga- briefs story of pioneering, T, James Lewis on schedule for spring pro- duction, but after that-what?
 Reads Elm All
 There doesn't seem to be any short cut in story selecting he says. Stories come in every day from writers and the only way to pick the sheep from the goats is to read them all
 Sometimes, the first paragraph hits you right between the eyes and you think you've found some thing. Then it peters out. But no matter what my reaction to story may be, the minute finish it I ask myself, Will I remember it in two years?'"
 Lloyd argues it is the theme rather than the plot that makes a story memorable He selected "Mu- tiny on the Bounty" after several studios had rejected it on the ground that it lacked a good romance and had too much brutality in it.
 Tt appealed to me-" he says, be cause despite these apparent faults it had great theme-back of it's plot it carried the message that tyranny and a disregard of mans rights are wrong. Maid of Salem, entirely different in plot and char acter, has almost precisely the same theme and the same appeal The i villain is the Salem witchcraft out break of 1892, menacing the romance of Claudette Colbert and Fred Mac Murray"
 Thinks Audience Approves Lloyd believes that audiences, watching the delineation of this theme on the screen, are mentally approving
 Suppose" he says, that some man in the audience works for an unsympathetic boss. Don't you think he feels it deeply when Gable is subjected to the tyranny of Cap tain Blight? And he's glad to see tyranny get a sock in the eye. He won't forget it for two years or 10 and when that happens you have a great story"
