The Experience of Elizabeth Thacher NOT long ago, Elizabeth Thacher, a busy Montana housewife, little dreamed that she was different from thousands of other housewives.

Never before had she even written for publication. And, in fact, had no desire to write, until one day she saw an advertisement like this one which told of the opportunities for new and unknown writers of ability and training to earn rich rewards. When shortly after her enrollment she sold her first story to Thomas H. Ince, she wrote: “I feel that such COPYRIGHT. 192: 1 ER PHOTOPLAY CORPORATION, HOLLYWOOD. CALIF. success as I have had is directly due to the Palmer Course and your constructive help.” Know About Yourself MANY men and women, like Elizabeth Thacher, have the ability to win success in this field.
