Technique of the Photoplay DON'T forget that the heart and soul of the scenario is its story. That is the great thing, the essential thing, and the all-important thing about the scenario, if the story is a fas- cinating thing of heart-interest or mystery, or full-blooded adventure, then your scenario is good at heart. But just as the finest soul in a man has to have a bocjy with muscles and eyes and arms and ears and tongue before it can be of any earthly use to other men, so the greatest story must be skillfully, dra- matically presented, and in such a way that all the in-between artists v^ho are to help the story on its way to the screen, and thus to the minds of the picture-goers, will be able to understand exactly what to do in order to make the story clear and fascinating.— Philip Wright Whit comb, Hepworth's, London.
