Scene 48--Mail box at street corner.

REASONS FOR GIVING PROP AND SCENE PLOTS; IN ADDITION TO CAST OF CHARACTERS.

The cast of characters is given as a guide for the director to quickly pick his types, without being obliged to wade through an entire manuscript and bother to read scene by scene. All directors have different methods of casting their pictures; no two working alike, and, although some may pay no attention to the cast of characters yet most all of the directors working for the Syndicate, or Trust studios, find it easier to have a cast submitted.

The property plot is made out to aid the property man for, though he reads through the script, the same as the director, yet a list of important props, being typed, saves him a great amount of time, and time is of value in studios.

The scene plot is done for the same purpose, it not only saves the carpenter time in making his sets, but aids the director in knowing just how many scenes take place in the various sets. When the scene plot is made out, the director can see at a glance which sets have the most number of scenes and thus can have them set accordingly.
