WRITING OF SCENARIOS
ANITA LOOS' EXPERIENCE Anita Loos, whose fame perhaps rests on her authorship of " Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," has been writing scenarios for the screen for 25 years. She began when she was 12 years old, and had her first story accepted by David Wark Griffith. She got 15 dollars for it. She called it " The New York Hat " and had the satisfaction of seeing Mary Pickford and Lionel Barrymore act it. For several years she and her husband, John Emerson, wrote the picture stories for Constance Talmadge, and received 20,000 dollars for each of them. Her most recent scenarios are " The Girl From Missouri " for Jean Harlow and " The Biography of a Bachelor
