J. (Dublin).— Our advice to would-be Cinema players is generally based ou the particulars they give us of their abihtis. In England there are so few stock companies, and waiting for an occasional ei gagemenf is a heart-breakiu.' job ; so you see it would be cruel to raise false hopes. For .an average film plot from balf-o-goinea to three guineas (according to length of film) is a failprice, but well-known authors may receive any; thing over and sometimes quite large sums.
