"How I Did It" Probably those who saw "The Wonderful Chance," with Eugene O'Brien, did not guess how that story was going to end. I intended that they shouldn't guess it, and those who saw the picture know whether I succeeded in keeping the outcome a secret until the very end. In fact I will admit that I didn't know myself how that story was going to end until I had almost completed it. That's where the fun often comes in for the writer. To live with a set of characters for weeks at a time until they seem to be living, breathing human beings, is an enjoyment few have experienced unless they have written a story. But to see those characters come to life before your eyes, and realize that you created them, and that they are doing the things you prescribed for them, gives the author considerable pleasure; a pleasure indescribable and appreciated only by those who have experienced it. "The Wonderful Chance" was a story based on actual facts. The entire first and second reels were a picturization of an inci- dent which transpired in New York City a few years ago and is a part of the police record. 78
