We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Have You An Idea? Are You a Writer of Scenarios? So many letters with crude scripts have come to us for our editor to advise upon that it takes up too much time; some of the writers enclose a dollar for advice. We have always returned script, letters and money, asking the sender to forward writings to the various manufacturers. Some have written to us complaining about their treatment at the hand of some schools of scenario writing, and requesting us to open a page for this work. This is also too much for our capacity. We have therefore made arrangements with our Miss Virginia West, whose stories appear each week, and who from her training in scenario writing and dramatic school, is fully qualified to criticise and advise, and Wm. Lord Wright, who as author of "The Art of Scenario Writing," and of the column "For those who worry o'er plots and plays," is capable of handling this branch. The fee is One Dollar per Script. The Moving Picture News stands pre-eminently America's leading cinematograph weekly, is read by every man in the industry, circulates in all the leading universities and colleges and is the "Vade Mecum" of the wide awake advertiser. New subscribers to the Moving Picture News enclosing $2.00 for one year's subscription and script, with return postage, can have full criticism on one script free.
