Them’s « as off a nt i C} ~F* °tcha think Cat. ’ S ir afFe?”—Reserve Red C The Writing | > Game ? * v ♦ > • % > By RING LARDNER ♦!* To the Editor: T be follin letter reed, from 1 of my admirers iu Brazil, Ind., exclaims it self. ‘Dear Sir, I been reading your let ters in these cols, for a good _many, •nos, and find tlieni very interesting a specially the letters advertising that you was to start a school of Photo play writeing and in 'those let ters you give your readers a good many hints in regards to how photo plays should be wrote as well as a sample of a 5 reel photo drama. Now no doubt they’s a great many peo pie that considered thereself capable of writeing photo plays but couldn’t afford to take none of the high pi ice correspondents courses in same and would of always remained a drug in their office or somewheres had you not of came to bat with your low price school. j “Now what 1 ask is why won’t you be as thoughtfull of tire people that wants to write short stories like you was to the ones that wanted to write for pictures. 1 have always feel like 1 had a gift for writeing short sic tious but don’t know nothing about technics, length of stories and etc and couldn’t dig up the price witch is demanded by the correspondents schools for tuition and etc. It seems to me like you are well qualified t< learn people the art of story write ing even better than other kinds of writeing because I once read a st.>r\ of yours in a magazine witch von must of been the editor’s brother in law but still and all it was printed and you probably got payed for same witcli is more than you can say in regards to your efforts at photo plays So will you be so kind and open -uj a coarse in short story writeing am' give us a idear in these cols, what the secrets and .principals is that makes a successful short story sic [ion writer and I am only 1 of thou sands that will be interested and* may be subscribe to your school.” The writer to the above is not the only party that has come to me with requests along the same lines, and it begins to look like I would be do ing a public service was I to comply with their requests along these lines* In the first place the average party has got a magazine editor qU wrong witch they usually are. They think he is a man that will give every body a square deal where as the most of them lets their personal feelings and tempermunt get the best of them The best rule for a new beginner to follow is to Ist get a idear for a story and then forget the idear and go ahead and write the story out or dic tate it to somebody that lias got a good hand writeing or better yet one of these new farrgle machines called n typewriter that makes it look ail most like print Then put a good suggestive ritb on the story J ike for inst. “Clara’s Calves’’ find then give it to your family -to and if they say it reads good why it must be good, and the next question is how to got it before a magazine editor and get a square deal. But 1 of the biggest mistakes a new beginner makes is to send re turn stamps along with their manu script as most of the editors is ait tight and tlie minute they see stamps that somebody else has boughten win they can’t wait a minute till they use them, and whist, back comes your manuscript. 1 remember once before I become a wise cracker that I sent a stamped self address envelope along with a good story I wrote and the old skin flint shot it hack at me pro tern all because he couldn’t do nothing else with a addressed envelope with the stamps stuck to it and couldn’t bear to see it wasted. Both my sisters read the story I speak of and said it was a pip, and I wished the old Shy lock could of heard what they said about him for sending it back. Well then the only way to get e square deal from a editor is to scrap up a acquaintance with somebody that is all ready in the writeing game and the editor knows., who he is and got respects for him and then you hove this bird write a letter for you, to send along with the manuscript and have him say in the letter that yout story is O. K. and the editor is a sap if he don’t accept because you have got a lot of friends that will stop their subscription if that story comes back. So much for how to get a square deal after your story is wrote. As for the writeing itself a good many new beginners falls down because they try and wirte their story without the right atmosphere to work in. I can’t give no advise on this subject as Jif ferent authors demands different working conditions. For inst. they J»a\ Rupert H. Hughes can’t write a line unlest the water is running in the bathtub and Fannie Hurst won’t at tempt to work without the room is full of sardine cans where as when the editor wants a story out of Mrs Rinehart they get somebody to stand and snap a rubber bank at her nei- ’ Personly I never feel comfortab e at tuv desk unlest they’s a dozen large rats packed on my ft. These inst will give you a idear of how differ ent tempermunts affects differ tn. writers but, as I say, each writer has to choose for himself what temper munt to have and I might advise you « 0 try writeing in a public garage there as you might rto your be* wort | setting in a eel trap. 4© by the Bell Syndicate. »*) THE CHATHAM RECORD.

Planning and ; hard work will save the day. A man must not be idle this year if he has to work for half price. Doing something that will help a little will beat doing nothing part of the time. THE BANK OF MONCURE MONCURE, N. C. - ~ i mu mmm “TAKE IT FROM ME,” a Home Owner Says— \ “I’ve found that as a rule you get what you pay for. My roof cost me a little more because it’s worth more. I could have put on a substitute for a few dollars less. It would have kept the weather out for a few years. Instead, I spent a little more and got a roof that I’ll never have to replace and that is completely fireproof. Besides, my roof has beauty and a solid substantial look that fllimsy materials just can’t give. Altogether I made a mighty : good buy.” i Any home owner can profitably follow i * \ this advice.
