Show uu JHHNHE MOMTBOMERY "Not My Sister," Trlangle-Ince foa-turo foa-turo In which Bessie Barrlscale and William Desmond are co-starred, Is tho joint work of James Montgomery, author of "Ready Money" and other successful plays of the speaking stage, and C. Gardner Sullivan, staff photo-playwright photo-playwright of the Thomas II. Ince forces. During a sojourn In California, Montgomery visited tho Ince studio In order to leam the technique of the photodrama. For several weeks he watched the various directors, who, under tho supervision of Producer Ince, stage the productions for the Triangle Program. Then he ventured Into the scenario department, where he studied photoplay construction. "The thing that most impresses me, 'declared Montgomery, "Is tho wide field which a photodramatist has In writing his play. In writing a drama for tho speaking stage we are restricted to three or four acts. We must tell In our dialogue 'things which the photodramatist Is allowed to show on the screen. But this Is not as easy as It seems. After studying the Ince methods, I believe that it is easier to write a play for the speaking speak-ing stage than It is to write tho continuity for a motion picture. It Is easier to put action Into words than It Is to put words Into action." |
