166 C&e Cijeatte free reign to the imagination. You were given an idea, plot or story, and then left to work out your own scenario, and, of course, upon that rests the success or failure of the picture. Apfel started in making his own scenarios from the beginning, and of the hundreds of pictures produced, the scenarios have always been his own, in addition to which he has written a great number of original scenarios. The rapid changes taking place in the film world took Apfel to the camp of the Mutual Company, where he produced the Reliance features for over a year. Leaving the Reliance, he joined the Pathe forces for a short time, when an opportunity to enter the real feature field presented itself in shape of an offer from the Jesse L. Lasky Company, with which he is now associated, producing well-known plays with wellknown stars. It was Oscar Apfel who imparted to the Reliance productions the individuality which contributed more to the "Independent" cause than any single factor one may name. I recall a number of these productions, in which Irving Cummings and Rosemary Theby rose to fame, and undoubtedly it was the progress made under Apfel that induced the Reliance Company to expand to its present status.
