What parts did a 1913-era photoplay script submission contain (synopsis, cast of characters, scenario/continuity, scene-plot), in what order and form, and what job did each part do for the editor and director?

Esenwein and Leeds call the whole manuscript the "photoplay script" and say it has three essential parts in this order: the Synopsis, the Cast of Characters, and the Scenario or Continuity of Scenes, plus an optional Scene-Plot on a separate sheet (omitted when a company wants "synopsis only"). The synopsis is the editor's first read and is finalised last; the cast list is a separate division that tags minor characters with scene numbers; the continuity starts on a fresh sheet and numbers every scene. Label: 1913 practice. The pinned Gutenberg text is the Revised Edition (title page "Copyright 1913 / Copyright 1919"; it mentions 1918 releases and "February, 1919" postage), so some passages are 1919 revisions and are not 1913 practice. Excerpts drop Gutenberg italic underscores; line numbers are those of the CRLF file as pinned. Curator qualifications: Four-part photoplay script package and order verified; the authors say companies differed, so it is a recommended form. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary. Limitations: [component_reuse_restriction] Producer work dir holds no copy of S1; curator fetched Project Gutenberg #17903 (Esenwein & Leeds, Writing the Photoplay, 1913 rev. 1919; US public domain), byte-identical to pin 7a6b66f7, and located all 55 S1 excerpts after normalising quotes/underscores/whitespace. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
