By Neal R. O'Hara Copsright, 1919, by The Proas Publishing Co, (The New York Rrontng World.) fy HE movies is a great game all the year round. Something like base ball, except that Los Angeles always has the best team, Only real difference is that in the movies it’s the bum films that are released and not the bum players. A film may not make a hit, but it’s sare to get a run. It's the stars that make the movies, although it wasn't the stars that developed ‘em. You never see the stars on a cloudy day, either. Movie business is one game where It's always GOTTA be fair weather when good stellars get together, That's why most of the film folks live in California. The sun's always shining there, and they ain't too far from Reno when the clouds appear. Film favorites ain't the only ones that . make up. While the actoreties are slip- ping on the grease paint, the seenario writ- ers are making up the story. And whem the story’s finished it's shot—which it oughta be. Scenario writers are the guys that make a litter out of literature, Those birds can take a dozen literary masterpleces and’ after a night’s work all they'll have are the pieces. It’s a wise author that can recognize his own brainchild when the scenario butchers are through with it The plot may thicken, but it’s never thicker than the scenarioists, Lotta film actors have big heads without appearing in closeups. And all the film idols screen well, which puts 'em even with soft coal. Only difference between soft coal and the movie heroes is that there's a bi demand for soft coal. Film biz is one game where a GUY'S face is his fortune, And a lotta the biggest fortunes have no brains behind ‘em.
