atteirpts to get enough good plots to supply the ever increas-
ing demand They are offering $100, and more, for single

plots are wanted by the producers, our SALES DEPART-
MENT has a tremendous advantage over agencies situated in
distant cities.

facturers, such as VITAGRAPH, EDISON, ESSANAY,
LUBIN, SOLAX, IMP, REX, RELIANCE, CHAMPION,
COMET, MELIES, ETC., urging us to send photoplays to
them. We want more writers and we'll gladly teach you the
secrets of success.

''never beforewrote a line for publication"
Perhaps we can do the same for you. If you can think of
only one good idea every week, and will write it out as directed
by us, and it sells for only $25, a low figure,
