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.
102 PHOTOPLAY FORM 11. Using this form you can get the three classifications as shown or in combination farce-comedy and comedy-drama. These will be all you will ever need. To the left of the lower lines you place the num- ber of interior or exterior scenes and in the space provided tell the number of sets or locations. You add the interiors and exteriors to get the "scenes in all." You may also print your own card below or above, preferably the former. The title goes between the rules.

A rubber stamp may be used. 13. On the synopsis, the first real sheet, there should appear in the upper right-hand corner either the words "Submitted at usual rates" or a price named as "Offered at $50." This either means that you will take what the company offers or that you will not sell for less than the price named. Usual rates may mean anything from one dollar a reel upward. Generally it will mean from S5 to $50. Companies have a very unbusinesslike trick of ignoring the author until the pro- duction is started or even made, ignoring the fact that a script is not their property until they make purchase and the author has accepted either the offer or the check. If the author declines to afccept the check, they loudly exclaim that they are being held up. For this rea- son it is better to accept whatever is offered on the first script.' and if the price is too small to price all further submissions. If the com-
