"DONT'S" FOR YOUNG SCREEN WRITERS Marshall Neilan, producer of a hundred suessful film plays, many of which he wrote himself, offers the following "dont's" to spiring screen authors: Don't worry about scenario tech nique, but tell your story in simple language. Don't acquire wrinkles figuring out entrances, exits, fadeouts, etc.

The producer can work out these delaiU letter than you can. Don't submit your story to studio before you have pictured every situation in your mind's ey and know that they are possible. Don't try to dash off your story in one sitting, but sketch the plot first and then work out the "dress ing." Don't go in for obvious conclu ions, but try to give twists to your ituations that will offer an ele ment of surprise. Don't resort to the long arm of coincidence. It has long since been vanked out of joint.

Don't let your judgment be final Submit or read your plot to your riends and get all the opinions lossihle before you submit it to a producer. Don't try to write a story about 'hings with which you are not personally familiar. Stick to life as you see it and to persons you know, Don't stint your imagination Analyze the persons around you Then if possible find out how nearly correct you've guessed their haracters. Don't forget that action is one of the prime requisites in the suc- ress of a photoplay. Don't think that by action mean a lot of races.

I refer to action in theme or, in other words. keep the events of your story mov ing along. Don't try to write your story around the -personality of a star or a player you have seen on the screen, but write the story for the sake of the plot itnelf. The pro ducer will easily find the best per sons to play the parts. Don't forget to write the kind of a story that will be understood by the masses.

Don't overlook the fact that the human stories are generally the most successful. Don't forget that above everything else, you should be logical.

"A Trip to Paramountown" is. about 2,000 feet long. It shows production activities at the Lasky studio in Hollywood and in the Cosmopolitan studios.

Produced under the supervision of Jerome Beatty, who has spent the past three months in the Lasky studio, the picture consists of a series of views tf vsrious production units at work on some of the feature production; composing the Para- mount program for the season of 1922-23, as well as a number of Paramount stars and prominent players in off-stage moments at tho studio. I The story behind the production of "A Trip to Paramountown" reveals the extent to which Paro-mount goes in its efforts to aid exhibitors. Late last winter the home office decided that exhibitors should be given an opportunity to show their patrons the remarkable t-ltort which was put behind every one 01 lc paramount pictures "hown them. Accordingly, Mr. eauy was sent to tne isny stu- dio, with 'credentia's from Mr.

Zukor and Mr. Lasky, placing the entire resources of the studio at bis disposal. Every director, star, leading player was called into conference and instructed to give Mr. Beatty the utmost co-operation in making this one of the biggest productions. In making the picture Mr.
