Excerpt from Brothers: Or, the Brotherhood of Man The original manuscript, a brief synopsis of this story, was first submitted to a well-known author, moving picture play director and producer with a letter stating that it was not offered for sale but for criticism and suggestion. He said and wrote: "The idea is very big, ... could be developed into an excellent story. ... I do not see in it the kind of plot suitable to our purposes as the story is not personal enough to be truly dramatic." The first printed synopsis was sent to a number of people. The only criticisms ever received or heard of from any one qualified to pass an opinion are those stated here. One of America's eminent editors and reviewers voluntarily wrote a lengthy and flattering review. He said in part "It would make a very interesting and dramatic moving picture play, combined with a few speaking parts, such as a Master of Ceremonies, or Herald, who would announce to the audience the historical setting of the drama ... All through the piece runs a connected love story which should enlist the sympathies of the audience. The same lovers appear throughout the mystical drama" This is the only criticism he offered: "Although the authors disdain the reincarnation theory as the basis of their play, using it merely as a symbol, yet the continuity of the drama seems to demand it." (Thankful for this criticism; in the revision, made since, the reincarnation theory is changed so you may take your choice whether you consider it the basis or a symbol in the play.) I again revised the play and earnestly seeking constructive criticism I finally selected for my purpose one of the best known and most able dramatic critics in the United States. He wrote: "You have indeed presented a wondrous and luminous story - a work of fiery strength. It is too far in advance of present picture values and visualization to hope to see it screened. At least such is my regretful opinion." I have again revised and I hope improved the story and shall send it out to those who are in position to produce it as a story, play or a moving picture play. I know it is crudely constructed and contains many errors and faults. It is the first story effort of a business man written in odd hours and evenings of strenuous business days. My critics seem to think it has a big idea for a play. Is this story as a possible play years ahead of its time? It seems to me that those qualified by experience and education could build it into a play that would not only be a big money maker but better still would help ring out some of the messages of our coming new glorious human freedom, world liberty and international brotherhood.
