Hi, I have a couple recordings for this project.

The first is "What is a Photoplay?" by J. Berg Esenwein and Arthur Leeds. It's taken from their book "Writing the Photoplay."

Thanks to HeartsandStars and VfkaBT for your sections!! Much appreciated!!

MaryAnn, it looks like James M Trotter and Inez and Helen Klumph need to be added to the author database. MW updated, and all sections are currently PL OK!

Hi, I found an article that I'd like to record for the project. It's from the February 1912 issue of The Motion Picture Story Magazine, titled "Getting Into a Picture Company." It's author is given as "The Inquiry Editor," not a named person (for lack of a better term.) Can I record it?

Thanks,
Andrea
