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,
WITH thousands of inquiries already answered, and hundreds arriving monthly, the value of the Story World's Service Bureau has been amply demonstrated. No department, the editors believe, has proved more popular, or has been of more real worth to the readers of the magazine than has this one.
An interesting thing has been the wide Catholicism, of the questions: "Where can I sell a comedy-drama with an old man lead?" "What is the Egyptian word for plague?" "Is it possible to film the construction of a bridge in the Andes mountains?" "How is a 'fog effect' obtained in a picture?" "What is the real name of Seena Owen?" These are but a few of the queries, selected at random, to give an idea of the service we are rendering.
All inquiries that have to deal with the sale of manuscripts are cared for by the editor of this department. Technical problems are solved by G. Harrison Wiley, one of the best technical men in the motion picture world, who is retained at considerable expense by The Story World as staff advisor.
No matter what problem is puzzling you, if it has to do with the motion picture or the realm of magazines, we are prepared to answer it — provided, of course, that it is capable of solution.
When sending in your questions,
do not fail to enclose a stamped, selfaddressed envelope for reply. The mass of correspondence involved makes this rule necessary and, since the service is absolutely free, we feel certain that our readers will recognize the fairness of such a provision.
