We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
The Story World's Service Bureau.
0
UR chief purpose in conducting this department is to keep our readme ^f^™^ «^ Vo" the most active fiction and photoplay markets. However, it should be realized that the policies of both magazine editors and motion picture producers are subject to change. Therefore, we cannot always guarantee that our lists will be absolutely up-to-the-minute on the final date of publication. Indeed, since the last issue of The Story World we have received many letters stating that manuscripts forwarded to a certain Eastern producer had been returned unopened. Each correspondent seemed to consider himself personally insulted, and criticized us for having erroneously listed this name. Of course, we explained that the company in question had temporarily suspended production and, since it was located in the East, we had not been informed in time for publication.
Our lists represent only the most stable markets. There are others, naturally, which fluctuate. But if you have a story which you believe to be different and are puzzled in selecting a possible purchaser, let the Service Bureau help you. Do not submit the manuscript, but give us brief details concerning its theme, characterization and general nature.
G. Harrison Wiley, former Research Director for the Metro studios and one of the most capable technical men in the motion picture profession, is still on our staff to answer your technical questions. How
ever, Mr. Wiley at present is also engaged as technical consiiltapji ira Vne Richard Walton Tully Productions, who are filming "Trilby." If he has not replied to your questions as promptly as heretofore, rest assured that he is losing no enthusiasm in his work for you. It is only that his time is more occupied in taking care of his studio duties together with answering his Service Bureau mail. Mr. Wiley's advice to writers enables them to avoid inserting in their stories scenes or situations that would prove impossible or difficult of production. Incidentally, much time and many postage stamps have been conserved.
