1914 practice (Phillips): the sub-heading names breaking long scenes and preserving the illusion, but the chapter treats them inside other sections. Breaking a scene with an insert is defended against the persistence-of-vision objection; the close-view is called the best device for dangerously long scenes (no length given); illusion is preserved by making inserts feel natural and by tying close-views to a character's hands. Script notation: scene 'Continued'. Negative result: no length or count limit.

Curator qualifications: The two sub-headings have no passages of their own (only the L1031 heading list).
