PROPOSAL: what check could an agent run to propose and test a working title for a 1919-style photoplay script, using only what Chapter VII of Esenwein and Leeds says?
Proposal only (this worker's synthesis of the chapter; nothing was run). 1919 practice from the chapter: a title can come first (a phrase from the Bible, Shakespeare, poets, newspapers or advertisements that supplies the plot-germ), or last, after the synopsis and scenario, by choosing a feature idea; it is judged against Barrett's five attributes, the give-away rule, a worn-phrase list, a released-title lookup and the target company's lead policy, and a quotation title may be repeated as a leader near the climax. The chapter gives no scoring or test; the checklist below is a proposal built from its rules, and the AI use is a hypothesis with no documented use.
