The Palmer Photoplay Corp., active in the late 1910s through the early 1920s, was formed by Frederick

courses, by mail, in screenwriting. The company, located in Los Angeles, operated the Palmer Story
Service aimed at the scenario departments of the studios. The service synopsized the contents of all
weekly and monthly magazines published in the U.S. of new novels and stage plays and of "worthy" original
stories submitted to the Palmer Photoplay Corp.
