In fact, it has changed considerably with in the last six months, and we no longer have to. do our pictures in words of one syllable for an audience which has developed so fast that we can write more and more intricate stories and picture audiences can follow them. Many beginners attempt to write stories for the modern picture which are on a par with those of a year ago, which accounts for their failure.
