1914 practice (Phillips): a plot runs cause, effect, climax; each scene is said to repeat the play's pattern of Introduction, Situation, Crisis and Solution (his worked example also labels a 'Suspense' step, so the text names four terms and the example five). Suspense is 'a suspension of the Climax', each suspension marked by a crisis or minor climax; it is built from a desire, an opportunity and the frustration of that opportunity, ended by change, decision or fulfilment, and closed once it is overstrained. Suspense is fear rather than hope, strongest when the audience sees what the character does not. Hopes raised early are not gratified until the climax, which settles the outcome in one scene; the rest is a brief conclusion. His text has no named 'complication' stage (the word praises a complicated plot and marks each reel-end in long plays). His 'crisis' resembles Archer's crisis-based view in the cycle-3 reports, but unlike Archer he defines drama as conflict.
