After a script passes the ten test questions, what scene-by-scene pass does Sargent (1916, Ch. LXIII) recommend, what small faults does he find with it, and which statements are claims versus examples?
1916 practice (Ch. LXIII paras 24-26). Even a script that satisfies the ten questions needs a scene-by-scene study: each scene as a unit and in relation to the others and the whole, including little points. The only faults he demonstrates are in Example A: three entrances staged identically (scene 22 should be varied), scene 29 too long and holding two written notes (he rewrites it, adding a set), and a general claim that nearly every pass will find places to explain, condense or emphasise. He does not label any of these as typical beginner faults. The Appendix scene-plot lists the front of the house at scenes 12, 19 and 22, consistent with his description.

Curator qualifications: Self-criticism rules, the twelve stock rejection glosses and the ten-question test are verified as Sargent's text; his own run on Example A is reported as his reading. The 'no audience trial' scope claim holds: 'spectator' appears only as an interest criterion.
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
