BLUEFtELD DAILY TELEGRAPH Sunday, May, SECOND SECTION KAHN'S 25 Nfew Numbers of Tub Blouses, Voiles, Organdies, QQ Silks arid all new material of the season Free Course in May Writing (Continued from i'age Seven.) over you discover some weak place in your plot which you (eel can he m- proved upon, and If so be sure to rewrite the story, for your very best la not too good to give. I cannot impress upon you any too strongly regarding the keening of a careful record of your scripts, ns unless you do there is always danger of submitting story twice to the same Arm as in my tun experience as editor 1 have repeatedly received the same scripts over and over again, some as long as a year after the tlrst time I had gor- ten them. Now it was either a ease of the writer having neglected to keep a record or else imagined that by sending a story back again there might be a chance that the last editor had either resigned or been sent away and that a new ono would bo more considerate. Rut this is a big mistake to make and after having once submitted a to a certain company never resubmit it unless you ih-ave rewritten the entire story in a way to make It. more available to the demands of the company to whom you have already sent it.

Never write upon botti skies of the paper and do not use clips or pins which perforate the paper, as there are numbers of kinds of clips which hold the sheets together, but not permanently, ns an editor does not like to read a story unless he can separate the sheets. Never roll your scripts, but use an envelope sufficiently large to hold your story when folded twice. Always the title of ypur photp-play in the center and at the ton of each page, also number each Bheot and write your name and address in the right hand corner of each page. Many a writer sends a story to a company minus any name or address then after waiting a rew months without any word from the decides that the company jhas simply "stolen" his story, wnd does not. Intend to pay him; if aware of his; negligence he would 1 nm sure, freely admit that it -is an Impossible feat for any editor -to return a story when he has no name or address to return It to.

Stories often become separated, but If the title, name and address of the author is upon each page what, a simple matter it is to aga-n corrv.iirie the entire script. Always start the synopsis right after the title lenving about four spaces The scenario should always be started upon fresh no matter how much space is left after the synopsis, cast of characters and scenes have been written. To single or double space a script depends upon the writer as it hasn't, much bearing upon the success of the play. In writing a photo-play always re- incmbcr to use as few principal characters as possible, for the fewer the characters the better the play is understood by the audience. In planning your cast yon must lake into consideration just what feats they arc compelled to accomplish ns extraordinary stunts hud better be avoided a producer might not wish to employ a certain person for a picture just because she Is capable of walking a tight rope feet In the air unless of course the story Is so strong that it wouild pay to produce a picture of this description, hut as a rule stories requiring acts of this description are written by, (lie staff around certain characters they happen to have convenient.

In writing your story always go straight to the point, get down to business as It were, No matter if it he comedy, drama or tragedy, plunge right in. use of "padding" which has no hearing upon the story proper and only wastes a lot of film. Many a two-reel picture could easily be condensed into one reel and not lose a foot of interest. Never introduce into the earlier scenes of your incident nppcaring to be of sufficient Importance to affect the climax, unless It reaMy does, as this only leads the audience and complicates the story. Do not make your story too molodrnmlc.

or crowd your scenario with minor "thrills" which all help to detract from the ono big I "punch'' of your climax.
