Page 34 The Photodramatist for August merit in which a higher sense of values was demanded. Of course, the girl in such a story would have to be cultured, artistic, intellectual — with her problem that of deciding between her emotional inclination towards the strong, congenial, popular man, and the realization of the little man's sensitiveness to deeper, finer beauty and higher intellectual values. Northwestern — There is some demand for two and five reel photoplays dealing with the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. IrishAmerican — Breezy, romantic IrishAmerican stories are in demand at one of studios. Ingenue Drama — It's still in heavy demand. Look at the Realart aggregation of flappers — Wanda Hawley, Bebe Daniels, Justine Johnstone, Mary Miles Minter, et al. — and you can see the reason. Male Leads — Men stars who do things, are increasing as leads. Have you a story which would demand a mixture of McLean and Charley Ray, with plenty of acting incorporated therein? It is needed. Two stars want vigorous, out-of-doors material which is not so-called Western. A famous male star wants rugged stories, with plenty of action. But the action must be the natural outcome of genuine theme development. He can do dress, woodland or seashore stories, but all must carry vigor. Several companies are asking for westerns with real plots behind them, but no stories based on crime will be considered. General Remarks — There is still a market for the first year of marriage stories and business girl romances, as well as for stories of the sea, all in the five reel medium. The Photoplay Market Supplied exclusively to The Photodramatist by the Sales Department of the Palmer Photoplay Corporation. Copyrighted — All rights reserved Owing to the frequent changes in studio personnel, no addresses of the stars are given herewith. Full information may be obtained by addressing Photoplay Sales Department, Palmer Photoplay Corporation, L,os Angeles, California. This agency, being in close daily contact with studios and market conditions, is equipped to obtain quicker and more satisfactory results than the free-lance photodramatist can obtain for himself. Long experience has proved the superiority of the reliable marketing bureau. Furthermore, it will be found that some of the producing organizations do not maintain reading staffs, and will return manuscripts unread. They do, however, in almost every instance, consider manuscripts submitted to them by recognized agencies, for they know that such scripts have had a careful reading, possibly a revision, and are of a type suited to their requirements.
