What does Sargent (1916) say about writing telegram, newspaper, document, book and music inserts: marking, sizing, length and name hygiene?

1916 practice (Sargent): telegrams only when the situation calls for one; newspaper inserts sized to the news (headline proportionate, 'not more than ten feet' when only the fact is needed, frame filled with newspaper-style text); documents indicated by a short marking, forms left to the studio; book covers or pages marked 'On screen'; no music; no real names or addresses. His headline examples are invented. Each rule is his claim; footage figures are estimates. Curator correction 2026-10-24 (discovery audit record C3-B1100-03, curator-reviewed C3R-0703; excerpts re-located by independent curator GET 2026-10-24): Correction. Record C3-B312-S115-03 summarises Sargent's music rule as "no music". Chapter on inserts, para 22 (page 160) opens "Music should not be used." but the same paragraph then allows a bar of a song when the words are wanted, and says that where music is called for it should be part of a widely available song or manuscript music, noting one company had a page of music set up. So the rule is a strong preference with stated exceptions, not a flat ban. It was a 1916 claim by one author when written and the record's other insert rules (telegram, newspaper ten feet, books, real names) re-checked as stated. Curator qualifications: Insert practice (letters, telegrams, newspapers, object inserts; written once, then flashed) is verified as Sargent's text. -05 is labelled practice plus proposal. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
