To the Editor:
In a recent letter I give my readers
the story of a friend of mine name
Joe Cooper that was not getting along
so good in his regular job and finely
i egan to take correspondence courses
by mail in other lines like short-story
writeing and expert acct and cartoon
ist and etc., and after a wile lie got
so as he was knocking out close to 50
thousand per annum for his spare
time.
Wile theys still another field yet
that Joe hasn't went in It and that is
writeing photo plays and great big
money is promised for good ones be
cause god knows they are a rare bird
and if they is some of my renders that
finds trouble makting both ends meet
the other and could use a couple 100
thousand a year extra earned in their
spare time, why here is the field to
go into.
1 ou can pick up most any magazine
and find a dozen ads of correspond
ence schools that learns you how to
write photo plays or movies as I have
nicknamed them, but how are you go
ing to know that the people that runs
them schools has ever wrote si piloto
play themselfs and for all as you know
you may be paying your tuitions to a
bird that ain’t done anything all their
life but pluck pimples off a putting
green.
So in order to protect my readers
from these kind of vipers I have made
it up in my mind to start a school of
my own along these lines and my qual
ifications is that I have wrote 2 photo
plays and they both flopped like the
sure thing and my system of teaching
will be to learn my pupils to write
photo plays opposite to like I wrote.
The big money in the screan game
today lays in 1 reel comedys.
The things that is necessary in
writeing 1 reel comedys is (1) a
catchy title (2) a funny idea (3)
plenty of laughs (4) witty sub titles.
As a sample of what will go and go
big, the Ring School of Photo Play
Writeing gives the following specimen t
of a 1 reel comedy.

DRY LEADERS DISAGREE
—e ..
Dr. A. J. Barton of Atlanta, lead
er of the dry forces and a distin
guished minister of the Baptist
church, takes issue with Bishop Can
non’s suggestion that the Volstead
act be amended so as to make the
purchaser of whiskey equally guilty
with the seller. Dr. Barton says this
would make liquor convictions al
most impossible. The doctor further
thinks that the introduction of any
discussion about amending the whis
key laws is unfortunate at this time.
