There is a thousand dollar guarantee of purity printed on the box, cerfifyiiiR it does not contain white lead, rice powder or any harmful substance. This guar-Tnteed pure powder is called La-may (French, Poudre L'Amc). Because it is pure and harmless. La-may is now used by over a million American women; it is now the most popular complexion powder sold in New ' York. Women who have used even the most expensive face powders say La-may stays on better than any other; they say they cannot buy a better powiler than La-may anywhere at an.v price. There is also a La-may Talcum | that prevents the souring of perspiration. | University Training at HoEQe W1THL\ the last decade the photoplay has become an accepted factor in the evcrjday life of the general public. Some of those who are intereited in it are intcrciled purely from the point of view of the spectator, but there are a great many who are interested from the point of view of the writer. There are many writers who have never been able to get their work across to the public who have splendid ideas for photoplays but lack a knowledge of the technique of photoplay form, which is necessary to make their ideas salable. In the early days a knowledge of the technique of the scenario was not essential. A writer sold his ideas for fift'-:n or twenty dollars to a producing company and was satisfied. Nowadays a good original story means a matter of several thousand dollars. The companies in return for this increased emolument demand an increased perfection of material. Therefore if a writer is to sell the product of his brains he must overlook no opportunity to acquire the best possible equipment in the medium in which he desires to write. Such writers will be interested to know that the Home Study Department of Columbia University is offering the courses in photoplay composition given for the last five years on the campuj to those who are unable through the exigencies of circumstances to attend the lectures at the University. The photoplay is a field of literary endeavor which has had up to the present time no help from educators. Those photoplaywrights who have succeeded have done so through their own natural ability and have as it were stumbled ujjon the technique of this new channel of expression. It is now no longer necessary that each writer should have to carve his own pattern in cinematic endeavor. The technique of the scenario, flexible and progressive though it is, is nevertheless definite enough in its present usages to be set down in more or less permanent form. The writer of photoplays must have natural ability, prolific ideas, versatility, and ingenuity. But in addition to all these he must have complete masterj of his craft. Frances Taylor Patterson is the Instructor in Photoplay Composition. The content of the Course corresponds exactly to that given at the University. It has this ad\-antage over work done in residence; it may be fitted to the students' own convenience .and circumstances. Instead of having to complete the assignments within the fifteen weeks of the academic semester, he may extend it over the full calendar year, making his own schedule of study and recitations. The printed syllabus which is provided for each course contains an outline of the work and instructions for following it which form the equivalent to class-room lectures. Furthermore, the syllabus will be supplemented by direct correspondence between the .«tuilcnt and the instructor in which individual ncfds and difficulties may be pres<.'ntod. The instructor will carefully supervise all assignments and manuscripts, which in the case of creative work like photoplay composition will furnish an accurate jrauiio of the students thoroughness in following text-book and syllabus and his ability to profit by the In-t ruction therein.
