Phillips requires a distinct part of each manuscript called Author's Remarks, brief, 'confine these remarks to 50 words or less', for helpful suggestions: the period of the play, its locale, where ideal locations may be found near particular studios, extraordinary properties and where they might be obtained, and specific actors the author has in mind. The specimen's remarks are 37 words and propose a staged bridge for the explosion scene. The part is not in the four-part list of Esenwein and Leeds as relayed in C3-B188-S42-01, so it is a Phillips-specific part within the rows compared. Label: 1914 practice. Excerpts drop Gutenberg italic underscores and collapse line wraps.
