Post Offl-.^ , State WRTTE PICTURE PLAYS and make, BIG NONET Twenty million moving picture "facs" attend thirty thousand moving picture theaters in the United States every day. Thousands of moving picture plays are bought each year by the producers to supplv the enormous demand — in fact— THERE ARE MORE MOVING PICTURE PLAYS BOUGHT EACH MONTH THAN THERE ARE STORIES BY ALL THE HIGH-CLASS MAGAZINES IN THE UNITED STATES COMBINED. Producers are paying $15.00 to $100.00 for motion picture plays, and carry standing advertisements in the magazines inviting writers to submit their work. You Can Succeed In This Work People in all walks of life, clerks, teachers, stenographers, students, housewives— are making money in their spare time at this work. Lack of literary training is no handicap. There are no descriptions or conversation to supply — just IDEAS — developed into plays under the simple rules required by the producers. Your Ideas Are Worth Money You have had ideas that you thought would make good Moving Picture plays — better than some you have seen on ' the screen. If you hav en't. suppose ycu give the matter a little thought. Gotothe theater tonight. Note how simple the stories — yet lhese simple little plays brought their mi iters #25, $50 oi $100 each.
