/ Did It" the unpleasantness about us. Don't make your heroine a poor stenographer who falls into the evil arms of her employer. Other girls in other walks of life are just as suscep- tible to temptation and stub their toes just as easily. Don't always pick on the stenographer. Lots of them are good and not all of them are poor. Waste no superfluous words. The main thing to bear in mind is, first, to establish a reason for your story, and then start for the climax. Perhaps the best definition of any story is a premise and a chase. It is better to limit the number of characters to as few as possible. Too many principals confuse the audience and tend to complicate matters and involve the plot. This results in the audience mixing labor with its amusement. Those who go to the theatre are seeking relaxation from personal or business cares and they want to be amused and interested without any great mental effort. Too many leading characters make it hard for the audience to follow the story, and subtract instead of adding to the interest.
