CHAPTER XXIV 85 may become such a success that she scorns her husband. She may leave him or she may seek to build up the business until her operations have not only jeopardized her own venture but threaten her husband's success when he, with cool business head, steps in, extricates her from her predicament and she is glad to let him reassume the reins of man- agement. 13. An objection to this would be that this is a business story and that business stories seldom offer much that is dramatic. This par- ticular story would require an elaborate explanation of the fortunes of the business and would be more a commercial report than a series of interesting scenes. It might give a better effect to have her go upon the stage. She wins success and is deaf to her husband's arguments, but in the end realizes that success is hollow without love and aban- dons her career to become a wife again. She might, as so many other photoplay heroines have done, seek diversion in gambling, becoming involved in financial difficulties from which the villain seeks to save her but from which she is rescued by her husband at an opportune moment. 14. Whatever your choice, remember that there must be considered first the narrative and then the picture value. It must be interesting as a story and it must be told in action that is in itself interesting and attractive. Figure out all your points and then make a test scenario, but please understand that by scenario is meant not a motion pic- ture play as a whole. Photoplay draws its nomenclature from the stage, the photograph gallery and the author's workroom. Scenario is a term once used to designate a photoplay in its completeness, but a play is something more than that, and the term in this connection is passing from use. Scenario is a sketch of the action of a story or play. It is merely a full synopsis. It is best in the first draft to make a slight scenario, listing little more than the plot factors. 15. Suppose that we recall the familiar nursery rhyme of Mary and her lamb. It occurs to us that this can be done into allegory and so into a play. A scenario of the original verse would give: Mary owns a pet lamb. The lamb is devoted to Mary and follows her everywhere. One day it follows her into the schoolroom. The appearance of the lamb creates such a disturbance that the teacher puts it out. Undiscouraged. the lamb waits outside for Mary until school is dis- missed and once more they are united. This, translated into other terms, would read that Ben and Mary are sweethearts. Ben is devoted to Mary, but she, used to his devotion, holds it lightly in esteem. Mary tires of the country and wants to go to the city. Ben, to guard her, follows her.
