Plots Wanted for Motion Picture Plays You can write them. We teach you bymail in ten easy lessons. This is the only correspondence course in this line. We have many successful graduates. Here are a few extracts from their letters: "The scenario 'The Schoolmaster's Courtship' I sold to the Vitagraph Co." "I have just disposed of 'The Timber Thieves' to the Edison Co. for $25.00." "The Selig Polyscope Co. has bought 'His Brother' and 'The Strike Breaker'." "I sold 'The Mysterious Letter' to the Vitagraph Co." "The Biograph Co. accepted my second scenario." "The Lubin Mfg. Co. has just sent me a check for my first scenario." "Kalem has bought 'The Blackfoot Halfbreed'; this makes two." Names of above students and many other successful ones on request. If you go into this work go into it right. You cannot learn the art of writing motion picture plays by a mere reading of text-books. Your actual original work must be directed, criticised, analyzed and corrected. This is the only school that delivers such service and the proof of the correctness of our methods lies in the success of our graduates. They are selling their plays. No experience and only common school education necessary. Writers can earn $50 a week. Demand increasing. Particulars free.
