"How I Did It able for Mr. Lloyd, and back it goes with many others, with a printed slip. I would like to tell the writer, "This story might do for Miss Dupont, send it to Universal." But I can't. I haven't the time to do this, nor has any other scenario editor. Let me advise you once more: Read the papers. Carefully note star and producer changes. File and index their ad- dresses. Know your story. Know fairly well whom it would suit, and then proceed. As an example of just how far behind the times some writers are, stories are still being mailed to the Robert Brunton Studios, marked for "Bessie Barriscale" and "Frank Keenan." The Robert Brunton Studios are a year out of being (having become United Studios), Robert Brunton has quit production, and Bes- sie Barriscale and Frank Keenan are picture stars no longer. "J. Warren Kerrigan Com- pany, Brunton Studios," is also the address on scripts still arriving from writers who do not know that J. Warren Kerrigan was off the screen for some time. 141
