I van v ml Elaborate Scenarios Are Not Sought For Zvary Company Kaa Xta Own Style; All Wanted Is Story; Instructions As to rrodnctlons Only Sunpttr Aspiring scenario writers will doubt less be interested In the following in formation given Out by a no Jess re liable source than John F. Prlbyl, sce nario editor of the Sellg company: "If contributors will bear In mind that all reliable motion picture com panies have their scenario depart ments which, la addition to prepar ing the purchased manuscripts for the directors, are busily engaged writ ing scripts, dealing with diversified subjects, they would not bother with an elaborate scenario. It is simpler and easier for them to submit their contribution in short story form, for it is the Idea contained in the story in which we are interested,, and not how we are to produce it. "Manufacturers in the mercantile business make the same .product In a different manner. Newspapers ate conducted in the same way. The 'style for writing a .story for one newspaper usually differs from that of another. And so it is In the mo tion picture Industry. Each producing concern has its Individual style of sce nario writing, and the script must be prepared accordingly. Tequently a director prefers working from his own imagination and does not wish tp b4 bound" to written instructions. There fore It is a useless task and a thank less one for a contributor to spend valuable time on a scenario when a I brief story outlining the idea is all tnat is necessary.
