Will Sponsor Motion Picture Story Competition (BY N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) CHICAGO.—A contest for stories most adaptable for reproduction as motion pictures will be conducted by the Lit erary Awards Foundation of the Cath olic Press Association of the United States next year under a plan sug gested to that body by the Rev. Wil frid Parsons. S.J.. Editcr-in-Chief of America, and chairman of the Liter ature Bureau, in his annual report at the association’s annual meeting in session here. The stories would not be scenarios, since technical knowl edge not possessed by non-profession als would be required for these.

Now, he added, accrued in terest to the Foundation fund amounts to more than $1,200, and he proposed that at least $1,000 of this be set aside for prizes.

Father Parsons continued: “The winning stories would be pro tected by the Catholic Press Associa tion and would be offered to the in dustry under such conditions as would preserve the integrity of the story and its underlying philosophy The asso ciation and the winner would share in. the profits of such a sale, and the profits accruing to the association would be immediately applied to the Literary Awards Foundation, thus ad- ding to its awards in the future. “At the same time, it is proposed to tie this contest in with a vigorous and compelling campaign in the Cath olic Press against the paramount in fluence of the oriental mind in mov ing pictures, and in creating a demand by the Catholic public, at least, for entertainment that does not affront Christian morality and teachings, and moreover, that is imbued with the proper and uplifting philosophy, and at the same time is entertainment of at least the same technical value ew that which is now being shown.”
