Sinopsis
Excerpt from Pen to Silversheet
First: The story - what it is and the circum stances governing its selection.
Second: The sources from which original stories for photoplay use are obtained.
Third: The manner in which an author conceives and develops an original story idea for the screen.
Fourth: The amateur scenario writer problem - the principal shortcomings of the average amateur who submits his scenario, how they should be overcome, what is wanted by scenario departments and some helpful discussion as to what are the qualifications of a successful writer and, providing he possesses those qualifications, pointers on how he should pre pare his ideas for submission to scenario departments.
Fifth: The development of the scenario from the original by trained studio writers, what the scenario consists of and its importance to further production work.
The very first step in the production Of a motion picture is the selection Of the story. A motion picture, in the early days, was merely a film record of some kind of motion. Hence the name, motion pictures. But, in its present state of development, the motion picture is a drama or comedy or tragedy told by action and expression - ideas conveyed by means of expression, from the players to the audience.
The story, therefore, is paramount - the foundation upon which the picture is builded - the central idea of which the completed production is only an objectification.

Excerpt from Pen to Silversheet
Now, we're going to make a motion picture!
We shall take an imaginary trip around the model studio and with our mind's eye, shall follow the work of the world's fifth largest, and the most fascinating art-industry, from its very inception to its final completion - from the choice and preparation of the scenario to the final exhibition of the finished photoplay on the screen of the cinema palace. We shall make the journey from Pen to Silversheet.
This journey is a fascinating one. It will explore the hitherto undescribed mysteries of the work of film production and lay bare the inner mechanisms of this wonderful and intricate art, which comprises within itself, many arts and many crafts, peculiarly identified therewith and many of which have come into existence only since the establishment of this new industry.
"How do they do it?" is the question on the lips of the average spectator as he watches the shadow story unfold before him on the screen. He is curious to know details, facts, and processes by which certain results are secured. But he little realizes, perhaps, the extensiveness of the ramifications of the work which has resulted in the finished product which is flashed before his vision. Perhaps he thinks in terms of camera, actors, director and backgrounds. But in so thinking, his knowledge only covers about one-fifth of the various and varied factors which contribute their necessary efforts to the one central, ultimate aim. He has not yet been given an inside look at the work and the mechanism of these various factors.
In the journey from Pen to Silversheet, all will be told, presented and explained.
