We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

i IMPORTANT NOTICE nc To Photoplaywrights pLEASE remember that photoplays will NOT be read, revised, criticised, bought or sold by either the Atlas Publishing Co., or the author of this book. We are not conducting a correspondence school and cannot afford to maintain a department for this purpose, including these services, for the nominal amount charged for this book. Neither do we consider that such service will be required. We are confident if the student will devote his very best efforts, closely following these instructions, he will have no occasion to call for aid. It has been our aim to answer every imaginable question, to cover every feature pertaining to this work, avoiding the necessity of a criticism. Furthermore, the majority of film-producers far prefer to buy photoplays DIRECT FROM THE WRITER, and NOT through a commissioned agency. If YOU are a purchaser of this book and upon selling your FIRST photoplay will write to me personally, giving title of play sold, company to whom sold, whether one, two, or three reels, price awarded you for play (and any other interesting data), I will mail to you a little gift in appreciation of the courtesy, as I am very anxious to hear of your success.
