CHAPTER XIX
The Kind of Stories That Sell
Amateur photoplay writers, if they
'lope to attain success, should first direct
all their creative efforts toward coax-
inr a check from its lair, at the same
m" never deserting their ideal.
Once they have achieved fame, they
an afford to go into art for art's sake
alor, \ It should be remembered that
in liteiature and drama alike there is
„n artistic side and a practical side.
Often the real masterpiece lies un-
noticed for years, while the potboilers
?cll like hot cakcs.
With a view to helping amateurs to
•irsduce fine stories, which, at the same
me, are salable, let us consider what
it is that the producer, exhibitor, actor
and public, respectively, want.
The motion picture producer wants a
story he can film with the equipment he
has at hand. He wishes to use the re-
sources of his studio—scenery, direc-
tors, stars, and the like—to the utmost.
At the same time he wants to produce
stories similar to those he has success-
fully produced in the past and for
which his firm lias become famous; he
knows the public looks to him for a
certain type of story.
Although usually willing to invest
large sums in the type of picture that
has already proved a success for him,
the producer is generally afraid to risk
failure by going outside of his field.
Therefore, in writing for a producer,
bilities, and that's the only thing that
interests the exhibitors.
Most popular song publishers turn
out a new song for every big photoplay
published. This has been especially
true of the Constance and Norma Tal-
madge pictures. And the great value
of the picture song that carries an ap-
pealing air and at the same time tells
the thought of the picture can hardly
be over-estimated. Such songs as "The
Daughter Of Two Worlds," and "Beau-
tiful Gwcnd'lyn, You're a Virtuous
Vamp," by Paul M. Sarazan, who spe-
cializes in this work, are worthy ex-
amples.
In the same way, some book publisher
is almost sure to get out an edition of
the story in book form. All this helps
the picture from the exhibitor's point of
view—so, when writing your plot, keep
in mind possibilities for exploitation.
What the actor wants and will urge
his producer to buy is a story which
displays his or her dramatic talents in
the best light. The star who is famous
for his athletic ability will naturally
look for a story which calls for stunts
of this sort; a great emotional actress,
like Norma Talmage, wants a story in
which the star is called upon to register
the heights and depths of human emo-
tion, as in "The Woman Gives.' her
latest starring vehicle; a brilliant yo\:n°
star of the ingenue type, like that other
member of the Talmadge family, Con-
stance, rant? a story which calls for

The Royal Coachman.
The trouble when Queen Victoria
first traveled by train (17 years after
their Institution In England), was not
who should follow, but who should go
before It. The chief royal coachman,
maintained that he must rirte on the!
engine, as, though he could not drive
the train, he ought to make a pretense
of doing so. Finally it was decided
that be should go on the pilot engine, |
which preceded the royal train. But
the smut from the engine played such
havoc with his scarlet livery that the
proud functionary abjured the honor
afterward.—London Dully News.

What the Public Wants
il t' e public wants is, after alt,
the final criterion for any photoplay.
T'.e public wants the best in its pic-
lu-e plays—and leaves it ail to you to
define what that best shall be. The
public mind changes from week to
week, demanding constant originality
on the part of its .fireen writers. Since
audiences come fiWw, every class, the
stories must be broad in their view-
point muM have real action and must
avuid unfamiliar problems and emo-
tKPe'opIe id not want very tragic
stories which derress them for the n xt
H hours. Hence the necessity fer a
tndipg in any story which is to
I* marketed. Few people like to cry,
Vut everyone likes to laugh. There-
fore the story with many laughs has a
hundred fold better chance thao the
one which deals with Utile Eva s s d
demise. Fresh romance is more in de-
mand and harder to write than an>
other type of story. .
the amateur must always remember
that people go to the motion
theatre to forget their troubles and fee
come young again in a *0'1(1 ■

is as it should be in the end That
