THE HIT OF THE PHOTOPLAY SEASON "HERE LIES" Is a Little Book That la Causing More Talk Than All the Scenario Textbooks. The Brightest, the Most Timely, and the Most Valuable Contribution to Bewildered and Discouraged Writers. L. Case Russell, the well-known photoplaywright, is its author, and new and interesting chapters are contributed by Eugene V. Brewster, Editor of the Motion Picture Magazine, and Edwin M. LaRoche, Editor of the Photoplay Clearing House. Replete with clever drawings, and it tells you how not to write in most entertaining fashion. The most liberally quoted book of the year in trade publications, newspapers, book reviews and magazines. The greatest obstacle in the way of a photoplay writer is the " Has been done before " rejection slip. It has been discovered that at least 80 per cent of the unsold scripts now on the market were written around stale plots. That is why they don't sell! For the first time, these forbidden themes have been collected, classified, crucified, and buried in a most emphatic manner. " Here Lies" is written in a most novel and refreshing manner, and the lessons it teaches will never be forgotten. Read what prominent studio editors, directors, and dramatic critics think of this little book : It strikes so truthfully at the many pitfalls to all begin I want to acknowledge receipt of your splendid little book, "Here Lies." So far I have only had time to glance at it, but I can readily see that it is going to be of great assistance to me. LOUIS GLASER, Motion Picture Editor, Washington Herald. I want to compliment you on the booklet. "Here Lies." It is too bad nobody ever thought of getting it out a little sooner. It might have saved the editors lots of needless work as well as heartaches for the aspirants who think it is as easy to write scenarios as it is to see a nickel show. Your book is so full of wit and humor that I took it home with me and gave it a place of honor on the same shelf in my library with the worta of O. Henry and George Ade. EMILY BROWN HEININGER, Essanay Editorial Staff. Some time ago I wrote L. Case Russell my "hearty congratulations" on the clever little book entitled "Here Lies." I sincerely feel that she has performed a great mission. My first thought after reading it was how can this be put into a wide circulation. It has been my misfortune to be compelled to read hundreds of impossible photoplays and to give a truthful opinion to amateur authors. I shall gladly contribute from my weekly salary for the free circulation of "Here Lies." ners in photoplay writing. I feel confident that every producer shall feel it his duty to supply readers with copies of "Here Lies" for distribution among amateur writers. BERNADINE RISSE LEIST. Kinemacolor Company of America. Your little Don'ts in "Here Lies" articles should be a great assistance to scenario writers in general and amateurs and beginners in particular. If your little book serves the purpose for which it is intended it will be of great assistance to the editor. With kindest regards and best wishes, I remain, E. A. WALL, Scenario Editor, American Film Co. I do not see why it should not be of great help to photoplay writers, and I am sure it will be to photoplay editors, in that it will teach outsiders to keep clear of the hackneyed themes which stare at us from every mail. Best of all, and contrary to its more ponderous brothers, it gets to the point quickly and tells what to use and what not to, without confusing its readers. Thanking you for my copy, and with best wishes, CRAIG HUTCHINSON, Keystone Editor. Sent, postpaid, to any address, on receipt of 25c. in lc. stamps or coin.
