W.C. 2. A.K. Is there a demand for ORIGINAL SCENARIOS ? The question is answered in this note from Mr. Graham Wilcox, the famous producer of "Chu Chin Chow," "Paddy, The-Next-Best-Thins;/' " Flames of Passion," and other All-British photoplays. £500 for an Original Film Story. " !t is one of the easiest things to write a story for the films, yet one of the hardest. Some af the best writers in the world have failed in making good on the films. On the other hand, writers with scarcely any experience in short story or novel writing have made fortunes in writing for the films. " There is a dearth of good film stories for the simple reason that the average man or woman does not know the requirements of the films. _ " I have no doubt at all that THE FLEET STREET SCHOOL OF WRITING will meet the requirements of the great cinema industry by training the inexpert to use their talent to the best advantage. I do not claim to be a scenario writer, but such has been the shortage of good photoplays that 1 have had to write scenarios myself as well as produce the films. So long as there is a dearth of good stories, I am bound to do so. " We are very anxious to obtain the most original and best scenarios, and with the object of encouraging new writers, I have the pleasure of offering through THE FLEET STREET SCHOOL OF WRITING, £500 for a scenario accepted by Graham Wilcox Productions, Ltd., written by a student of THE FLEET STREET SCHOOL OF WRITING. The decision will rest between myself, Mr. Chas. Wilcox and Mr. Sydney A. Moseley, Principal of the School." GRAHAM WILCOX PRODUCTIONS, LTD., fcjU* Director.

Your doctor feels your pulse, but your friend looks at your face and sees something is wrong. In a recent article published in The Picturcgoer Miss Mildred Davis LLOYD writes: — ". ... if something is wrong inside, the skin will show it directly, and what you have to do is to put it right." These words are absolutely true.
