Sept. 17. 1886. Descendant of two generations of newspaper people. Common school education. Employed on San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco, Cal. Los Angeles Ex g aminer and Los Angeles Herald in capacity g of telegraph editor, paragraphist and editorial = writer. Sold first scenario to Frank Woods, g Griffith Studio, eighteen months ago. Joined g American staff at Santa Barbara at personal g solicitation of S. S. Hutchinson. Left Santa g Barbara to join Universal staff in order to g obtain wider scope in writing. Specializes g in psychological and highly dramatic stories. g 1 "I believe the future of the motion picture lies in the story," says g I Mr. Parker, "when there is honest and intelligent co-operation between g I director and author, good pictures will result. The reason there are so g 1 many bad pictures being shown is because of the lack of competent men g I with literary ability in authority in various studios. When the picture g I industry becomes a publishing business and not a manufacturing busi g I ness. then we will have better pictures." | iiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiiiimmiiimiiiimmiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiimiiiiiimiiiiim^ Be sure to mention " MOTION PICTURE NEWS " when writing to advertisers
