At the top of the list of over 20 writers who placed in the scenario writing contest sponsored by the cinematography department was Greta Martin, a Summer Session student enrolled in the scenario writing class. She was awarded a six-month contract with Columbia motion picture studios as a scenario writer.
“Mias Martin has a talent for incidents and a good dramatic motivation,” says Dr. Boris V. Morkovin, head of the department of cinematography.
Mi«6 Martin and the other winners were the guests of Frances Marion, writer of “Magnificent Obsession,” “The Big House.” and recently, “Molly Bless Her,” at Miss Marion's palatial residence in Hollywood last week. Miss Marion served tea. and led a round-table discussion in her beautiful home garden.
Dr. Boris V. Morkovin arranged with MLss Marion to honor the winners of the cinematography department scenario contest at her home.
Miss Marion, who is now a lecturer in the department of cinematography, answered questions during the round-table discussion, and told of her early work. She talked in an informal manner, which set her guests completely at ease. An encouraging statement which she made was, “The movies are looking for writers who can write with a cinema viewpoint in mind.*
