After reading a yarn, be asks himself: "Two yearn from now will I remember this story?" And if the story is good enough go justify an affirmative answer, he believes the story has every chance of making a great movie. The complications arise because finding that kind of story means plowing through hundreds, even thousands of scflpts. Lloyd recent ly completed “Maid of Salem" and already has begun the quest for another story. He has Ollbert Ga briel's story of pioneering, “I, James Lewis,” on schedule for spring pro duction, but after that—what? TVier* doesn't seem to be any short out In story selecting.” hej ssyss. '‘Stories come In every day from writers and the only way to pick the sheep from the goats Is to read them all. “Sometimes the first paragraph1 hits you right between the eyes I a*d you think you’ve found some-1 thing. Then it peters out.‘But no matter what my reaction to a story may be, the minute I finish It I ask | myself: ‘Will I remember It In twoj years?’ M Lloyd argues It Is the theme ra ther than the plot that makes a stormy memorable. He selected | “Mutiny on the Bounty1’ after sev eral studios had rejected it on the grounds that it lacked a good ro mance and had too much brutality In It. "It appealed to me," he says, “because despite these apparent faults it had a great theme-back of its plot It carried the message that tyranny and a disregard of i man’s rights are wrong. ‘Maid of Salem,’ entirely different In plot; and character, has almost precise ly the same theme and the same Appeal. Hit ‘villain’ la the Salem: witchcraft outbreak of 168i. men acing the romance of Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray." Think* Audience Approve* Lloyd bellavee that audiences, watching the delineation of thia theme on the screen, are mentally approving. "Suppose," he says, "that ^ome man in the audience works for an unsympathetic boss. Don’t you think he feels it deeply when Oable Is subjected to the tyranny of Cap tain Bllgh? And he's glad to see tyranny get a sock in the eye. He won’t forget it for two years or 10 —and when that happens you have a great story." Smiley Burnette, the partner of Oene Autry of the westerns, was sole operator and entertalne? on a 100-watt local radio station at Tus cola, 111., when Autry, looking for a musician, heard of him. Calling him long distance. Autry asked how much he was getting. ' "Fourteen dollars a week," said Smiley.
