152 SODOM AND GOMORRAH Almost anyone with an imagination can write sin article for a screen magazine. Simply dismiss, \i you have any, your intelligence and imagine you are writing for a deaf, dumb, and blind person who has long since lost his power of reasoning. You must get yourself a tremendous stock of adjectives and apply them without discrimination to all your proper nouns. You need not worry about selecting a title, for your text need have no bearing on the name. For the sake of those who aspire to write for film publications suppose we try a story . We shall choose Miss Clara Bow for our heroine, as she surely has spent an eventful Hollywood life. The facts are simple. Miss Bow is living at her husband's (Rex Bell) ranch where she is spending a more or less dull life in peaceful domesticity.
