Name Street City ." .-.-i -' State Chats with Screen Authors Continued from page 8 fiction and the screen, it might be ■wise, if one finds short-story writing easier, to write fiction for magazines and retain motion-picture rights. Strange as it may seem, if you can write action and color, a few concerns will pay more for your story after it appears in some magazine than if it were first submitted for a movie plot. Strange, but true ! Sometimes The film editor is sometimes unhonUnhonored ored and unsung^ — and Unsung ^^^^ ^^^t that is well known to those experienced in movieland's activities is that to the film editor very frequently goes the credit for the success or the failure of a motion-picture play. The manufacturer of the film, the director, the scenario writer, the author of the plot, and mayhap the title writer and scenic artist receive screen and poster credit, but how freqtiently does one read the name of the man who edits the production? Not often! Frank Lawrence, film editor in chief for the Universal Film Company, is known to the elect as the "Wizard" of the cutting room. In the old General Film days he was known to take trims from picture plays, and by skillful, intelligent work utilize them into film productions of excellence. "Pop" Rock, of the Vitagraph, once stated that some of Lawrence's trim plaA's were better than the originals from which the trims were cut. Lawrence is the man who takes your big feature story after it is put into film and trims it to length, edits scenes, giving thein footage or shortening them, as the case may be, adding or subtracting them, and, in short, editing the completed film and making a cohesive, snappy prodttction of it. Many a "sick" drama has been saved by the film editor, who must combine the knowledge of direction, of dramatics, of scenario continuity writing, photography, and film titling all in one. Maybe you never knew jtist how important a functionary a film editor is. The director and the scenario writer and the star all take credit when the production is praised — and the film editor is unsung. But if the production is not all that it should be— they unitedly "pass the buck" to the film editor, so proving his importance. Remember the film editor, and do him honor. He often saves your story. $95 an Hour! "Every hour I spent on my I. C. S. Course has been worth $95 to me!
