10 Advertising Section What Do You Owe Your Wife? Do you remember the promises you made when you wooed the girl who is now your wife? Have you forgotten the scenes your fancy painted — that home of your own — a real yard for the kids — a maid to lighten the household burdens — a tidy sum in the bank — a wonderful trip every summer? She has not forgotten. She still hopes that you will make true these dreams. She still has faith in you. You don't want to disappoint your wife and make her life a burden, do you? You want to put the light of happiness in her eyes. You have in you the power, the ability and surely the desire to make good your promises, and you can do it easily. If you could only realize how quickly success came to thousands of other husbands, how splendidly they made true the dreams of courtship days, then nothing in the world could stop you from your success and happiness. After all is said and done, it is money and its right use that promotes contentment. Lack of money makes the cold realities of present day life a bitter trial and constant worry. It makes young wives old before their time — it brings bitterness into homes where happiness should rule. A BIG RAISE IN YOUR SALARY is possible for you. Go after it.

Chats with Screen Authors Continued from page 8 Pauline Frederick's last three pictures have been from originals. Her production of "Salvage"' was written by Daniel Whitcomb, a newspaper man. He submitted a synopsis to her, she liked it, so did R-C officials, and they bought it. The same thing happened with "The Sting of the Lash," written by Harvey Gates. The story on which she is now at work, "The Lure of Jade," was written by a young girl named Marion Orth. When is a story You Never salable? The best answer to this quesCan rell ^io^ is: when the story is bought. A few weeks ago the sales department of a large photo-play brokerage concern in Los Angeles sold a story that had been in its files since December, 1919. This synopsis had been submitted to various producers, but had been rejected every time. The company that eventually purchased this story did so because the story was right in line with their policy, and met their immediate need. The Difficult Medium There is quite a diversity of opinion as to which is harder to write : a novel, a play, or a photo play. Elinor Glyn says it depends on individual talent, that a gifted conversationalist would probably find the stage play or novel a more ideal medium of expression — for the exposition of clever or subtle words and phrases. However, the sort of person who feels a thing and while describing it moves the hands about and lets his facial expression — particuarly his eyes — tell the story, is better fitted for the depiction and description of action. ]\Irs. Glyn concludes by saying : "The electrician, you know, looks at the artist and says, 'Gosh, I could never do that !' On the other hand, the artist looks at the electrician and comments, 'Wonderful ! I can't see how he does it.' Writing is a parallel. Stage writers wonder how the screen authors get away with it. Screen writers marvel at the playwrights' talent. Many novelists can't for the life of them understand the remarkable technical achievement of either playwrights or photo dramatists. Those few who have created through all three mediums remain discreetly silent, so the question as to which requires the greaterartistic or technical ability^re-mains unanswerable." 4 Better Voice For You I GREATER strength.
