"How I Did It" "for Constance Talmadge" or "Nazimova," they are turned over to these companies. But otherwise, United, with no scenario depart- ment, simply returns the stories to the senders with a slip saying it does not buy scripts. In contrast to this situation at United, where the fifteen or so tenant companies buy their own stories, is the condition at Fox's, Lasky's, Universal, and others. The Lasky-Paramount is a combination which makes and distributes its own pictures. Therefore, stories for Lasky's stars, or for bal- anced casts of Lasky stock players, are sent to the scenario editor of the Lasky Studios, in Hollywood. The same may be said of the Universal and William Fox and Goldwyn. Their studios and scenario departments are all on the West Coast—Lasky and Fox in Holly- wood, Universal at Universal City, and Gold- wyn and Ince at Culver City, Cal. There is always a cry for stories for the screen, and many are never placed because the writer cannot find the producer and the pro- ducer cannot find the writer. 140
