In "Reaching for the Moon." we started Alexis off with some comparatively simple adventures, then gradually they got more and more violent up to the climax when he fell off the cliff. The climax is of course the point of highest interest and should be workedup to steadily and gradually with everincreasing suspense. Once this point is reached the suspense is over and 'there is nothing left but the denouement and the finale. In these the story should be satisfactorily ended, a satisfactory ending being one which is the logical outcome of, and justifies the beginning. In "Reaching for the Moon" we started with the admonition "Be careful what you wish for because you are likely to get it," and Alexis did get it to his sorrow. At the finish of the story the heroine wisely guided Alexis into wishing for something worthy and for something that he was* capable of handling. Alexis got what he wished and because he had wished wisely, we left him happy at the finish. In all our stories we seek something to satirize and in "Reaching for the Moon" we had the additional desire to poke fun at the wildly romantic type of novel, which for years has flooded the American book market. This however, was in addition to our main story construction, and unless the reader has had considerable experience in writing, it would probably be better to study his story with an eye to constructing it in the simplest form. Of course, one must keep ever in mind the types of characters with which one is dealing and study carefully every action of each character to see whether or not it is the logical action of the character in question in the circumstances in which he is placed. The psychology of the different characters is one of the most important things in a story. Let one character do a single act that is as we say "Out of character," or contralto his nature, and the spectator will say "Oh. he never would have done that!" and the priceless illusion of your play is lost, perhaps never to be regained. Revenge is Sweet (Continued from page 47) out of danger. Then Tim broke out. It was awful. "Ingratitude, thy name is Sprightly," he yelled, sawin' the "air with his fists. "I taught you all you know, and now you openly flout me. Shall I stand supinely by and see myself flouted. Not by a jug full. An eye for a tooth, that's my motto. I'll get revenge my haughty lady. I'll make you suffer." Turnin' around he began to run for his room. I followed, as fast as I could with my bum leg, because I knew in reason that he was goin' for his gun. He beat me to it. As I ran up to his door I heard terrible sound within. My heart quailed, for I thought I was too late to prevent manslaughter. Then I leaped through the door. The sight that met my eyes was worse than I had dreamed. With his face registering 'Ghoulish Glee.' Tim was spanking the Pomeranian. Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
