Ross, Galveston. — I agree with you about the poor scenarios that many of the companies are now using. I must admit that most of these are written in their own studios by their own people. That may account for the sameness of them. They apparently do that to save money, because a $30-a-week man can turn out three or four plays a week, such as they are, whereas they would have to pay that much for one if bought from the outside. The only way to correct this ruinous evil is for people like you to write to the officers, showing them the danger and naming specific instances. You will find that the company that buys the most scripts from the outside always puts out the best stuff. You also say, with many others, that serials are turning backwards the hands of the clock Progress. Wahnita H. — Your questions are all against the rules. See paragraph at the heading of this department. Violet B. — Thanks for all your kind words. You misunderstood the article about Florence LaBadie; it was in her favor. No, most studios do not allow an audience to watch the taking of a picture. Nell M. — You neglected to give the name of the company. Gerald Mc. — Your long letter was very interesting. Send a stamped, addressed envelope for a list of the manufacturers. New lists are just out. Alice Joyce is playing for Kalem same as ever. Frances C. — Mildred Heller and Harry Benham in "The Trail of the Lovelorn" (Thanhouser). They also played in "The Harvest of Regrets." Gladys Brockwell in "Stacked Cards" (Kay-Bee). Gaby Girl. — "Her Triumph" is the name of the picture in which Gaby Deslys appeared for Famous Players. 1 / yf t> I vs. > A •0? /^ V1& x "x \x? ,/-.:: ~~~ * <^SpP^*-»v /'''' %& h f u J J THE CAMERA MAN OF THE FUTURE
