' By John Emerson and Anita Loor i3 1 , v (Deafls of the Photoplay Writing Profession, Who are Now Collaborating on tbi Constance Talmadge pictures). ... ... ; " . CHAPTER XX What to Write And Not to Write Reinforced with a knowledge of vhat has already been "done to death," the amateur photoplay writer can' avoid plagiarism charges and rejection slips by giving the old situation a new turn, i. Every photoplay writer goes through approximately the same stages in ap prenticeship, dreaming the same fancies that thousands have dreamed before, and falling on the same ancient ideas in the delusion that they are brand new discoveries. Nearly half the stories that come to any office are rejected because they are "old stuff." Sometimes this is because the writer unconsciously is repeating what he has seen or read in the past; but more often it is because the same solution to the problems of life occur to all of us. It takes hard work to create a new plot so beware of the one which comes too easily. By way of helping you we will try to pass on to you the most val uable accessory of any scenarist namely, the knowledge of what has al ready been overworked. ' Plots to Avoid ' : Plots and themes to be avoided in photoplay writing are many - Among them is the basic plot of revenge, both hackneyed and unconvincing since audiences no longer believe in persons who devote lifetimes to plotting against an enemy. A credible though hackneyed variation on this is retribution, or Divine justice.- Heroic sacrifice, used as the sole basis of a plot, is both threadbare and unconvincing to sophisti cated folk who find no such people in everyday life. ( Dual personality plots dealing with Jeckyls and Hydes,- or with millionaires and tramps who change places because they look alike, are "old stuff." The The death bed ' confession ; . fairy stories ; the couple reconciled Jo parents or themselves reunited by the birth of a olild ; tlie lost will or legal papers; fantastic stories of the J.ufes Verne type dealing With a future, world or with some extraordinary invention; the freak bet ; the practical joke, as the friends who nearly precipitate a tragedy by trying to make the newly weds Jeal ous ; the-lost heir who is discovered by some modernized version of the straw berry mark; the bogus count; the so ciety raffles; or the villain struck down at tlie moment of his triumph by an act of God such as lightning. ' The New Twist Almost -every conceivable situation has occurred to a writer somewhere in the past You can, however, get a new story by adding a new theme to the old situation, or an original character, or by other combinations of the ele ments of the plot. Although our recent Constance Talmadge photoplay, . "A Virtuous Vamp," is founded on the old situation of a girl who loves an Un responsive man, we have tried to pre sent it in a novel way and evidently with some success as it has become one of Our most popular -picture dramas. "In Search of a Sinner" presents an unhackneyed situation when the heroine) a young widow, tired of the life her saintly husband had led her, goes to New York after his death in quest of a wild man, mistakes an honest west erner for one and leads him a merry chase. And whoever heard of a young woman who had selected love as a pro- -fession and sought to perfect herself in it? Possibly many have, but "The Love Expert.", our most recent Constance Talmadge photoplay, is the first screen story which hat developed lucn acter. AN OLD EDGECOMBE MAN WRITES ! IN FAVOR OF ' O. MAX GARDNER ; (Political Advertisement.) . Shelby, N. C, June 17th, 1920. Mr. H, P. Foxhall, Tarboro, N. C. Dear Haywood: I have just seen that the official vote of hy home county, Edgecombe, gives Morrison a majority, f If you can spare the time in the next few days I want you to write and let me know if, ther8 is anything I can do to help you carry the county for the best man in the racei.'. ' ;. ; 1 ..... - V ' ' You know that I have' fought and worked to keep tha negro out of poli tics and in Cleveland county Gardner is just as strong against negroes vot ing as I ever was and will do as much as we ever did or Morrison claims to have done, if he is ever called on. Gardner is a real man and stands the Democratic platform and is no more for Woman suffrage than Morrison is. The Democratic Con. vention went on record for .Suffrage and of course Gardner stands on the platform, but if it were left for him to vote on it he would do just as he did in 1914 when he voted against it; provided that the majority of the people were against it. He is for the people and what they want and if elected will carry out their wishes. I have known Max Gardner per sonally for twenty years and I know him to be a man from every stand point; he is true blue, and a fighter for the people of North Carolina. Max Gardner, when elected Governor will wear no man's yoke but will be loyal and true to the people of North Carolina. No man, woman or child on Will ever have the privilege of saying that Max Gardner was disloyal to the white peoplg of North Carolina, nor will there ever be a negro woman or girl vote in North Carolina if he can prevent It and he will fight until the last drop of his blood is spilled in the defense of the womanhood and manhood, of this grand old state. This letter is written to you from a friend who loves Max Gardner as he does his brothers- and will stand by him through thick and thin. .1 know him to be a man as pure and noble as they make them and he has the brain, and ability to accomplish things. He has made a personal sue-, cess by his own ability and you know in the first primary made one of the greatest races on record with' all of the newspapers and the rings and or. ganizations throughout the State against him. With the very best personal re gards to you and my other friends of Tarboro, am, Yours very truly, J. FRANK JENKINS, A Son of Old Edgecombe Co.

EMOTIONAL PARTS ARE POPULAR Ltadittg feminine start such as the TaUnadges, KatUtriut MacDonald and Anita Stewart constantly looking for photoplays which will bt. suitable vehicles for them. Norma Talmadge shown" above in an emotwndl scene from "The Woman Gives" : ..- ', , fulfilled wish story, dealing with that singularly uncommon situation in real life wherein the heart's desire unex pectedly becomes fact has been done many times both in the modernized Cinderella and the foolish person who wishes for three wives, and is made to look even more foolish when his wish is granted by the bewhiskered elder whom all movie fans now recognize as Destiny. . The Frankenstein plot, tn which the man creates a monster that eventually destroys him, has been ex ploited from every angle, from the scientist who restores to life a mummy to the Bolshevik leader who is over whelmed by the 10,000 extras whom he himself has incited to .--violence. Tdc same is true of the Faust plot of the man or woman who sell 'themselves ' to Satan only to spend) a; lifetime repent J ing it Time Worn Ideas Especially hacknpyed are variation on the eternal triangle of two men And one wrfman, or t'.vo women and rnc man, although of course there arc many possibilities in it still. Circumstantial evidence 'which. -leads to false accusa tions against a virtuous character-only to be proved .false in the end is ancient.

This overlaps into the threadbare suc cess story, 'perhaps the commonest of humanity's day dreams, wherein a character rises to fame and fortune overnight by some undeserved bit of luck. Monte Christo, the Horace Alger Stories, and "Little Lord Faunrteroy" are examples of this story which will always be popular no matter how often it is told. Since there are considerably more than seven original plots, we will warn yoiiO against the following themes, scene or characters as being hack Many plots, sometimei good In themi selves, should be avoided because they have seen proved unpopular with mod ern audiences. Among these are war or military stories, vamp stories, morbid stories (as most tragedies or suicide plots), snake scenes, stories laid in countries or amidst conditions ' with which the audience is unfamiliar and un interested, stories of extreme poverty cruelty to animals or children, themes justifying immorality in any 'form, stories of sickness or . physical :,d formity, burlesquing of old age, religion or particular races, dope addicts, socio logical or medical discussions in .play furm, -historical plays unless -unusuajly well done, reflections on the character of dead soldiers, King Lear themes of cruelty, oi children to parents, and all tiicmcs which belittle romance and love Comedies Written Backwards v Nearly all amateur' scenarists are movel to try their liands at slap-stick ci mciiios of tlis type which involve cus tard ;.ii ?::d bathing beauties. These re usually icturned with a rriaetW . ; fb. The reason is that slao-stick come- tiiei.ran he written only by a scenarist w ho ,? l,;.d long experience in this sort of tl.iiiK. fi-,t slap-stick comedies are written Wlcwards That is, individual scenes aie filmed with a view to humorous possibilities, and sfterwards strung into stories. The plot is the last essential of a motion picture whose appeal lies in breakaway furniture, trick automo biles and similar "props." You can readily see why these com panies will not pay for your plots. In closing, let us sdd a word of en couragement suggesting what to write. At the present time, the material most in demand is the story with the emo tional woman as the star, go light comedies, satires upon society t plots dealing with the wave of mysticism now sweeping over the world (new thought spiritualism or the power of the human will), American business stories, small town tales with plenty of local color, and wholesome talcs of adventure and romance ia any form. - LET US ESTIMATE ON YOUR- JOB PRINTING.
