What is a 'scene-plot' in Phillips (1914): does Chapter III describe it, what is it for, and what does his specimen scene plot contain compared with Esenwein and Leeds?
Chapter III names 'Scene-Plot' in its heading but, in lines 846-1025, has no paragraph about it, and the contents page lists 'the Setting' instead. What the book says about it is elsewhere: a scene plot lets the director weigh suitable locations for exteriors and see quickly the sets, actors, props and costumes needed (Part I, Ch. IX), the glossary counts it among the manuscript's parts, and the specimen shows its form: INTERIORS and EXTERIORS lists giving each setting with the scene numbers set there. By my count the specimen's plot has 7 interior and 10 exterior settings, covers scenes 1-40 once each, and its 23 and 17 scene references match the descriptor line. Esenwein and Leeds (as relayed) make it a separate-sheet supplement left out for 'synopsis only' companies, and their specimen descriptor gives a total scene count plus interior and exterior settings counts. Label: 1914 practice. Excerpts drop Gutenberg italic underscores and collapse line wraps.
