Which parts does Phillips (1914) say a photoplay manuscript consists of, in what order does he list them, and where do his own lists disagree with each other and with Esenwein and Leeds?
Phillips's Chapter III heading names seven items (Title; Synopsis; Cast of Characters; Author's Remarks; Scenario; Scene; Scene-Plot) and the chapter treats the first five in that order, then the scene as a unit, but never describes a scene-plot. Three other lists in the same book order the parts differently: the contents page ends 'the Scene; the Setting', the glossary 'Manuscript' entry gives synopsis, cast, scene-plot, remarks, scenario, and the specimen puts the title and synopsis on one sheet, remarks, scene plot and cast on a second, and the scenario on a third. Against Esenwein and Leeds as recorded in C3-B188-S42-01 the two agree that the synopsis leads, the cast is its own part and the scenario is the scene-by-scene part; they differ on Author's Remarks (Phillips only) and on whether the scene-plot is a regular part or a supplement. Label: 1914 practice, Second Edition text published September 1914. Excerpts drop Gutenberg italic underscores and collapse line wraps.
