58 TECHNIQUE OF THE PHOTOPLAY Cut in leader- "When Paul comes back I can read and write and dress like other girls." 20- Back to scene- Mary happy in the thought- it hurts Jack, but he hides his emotion- exits. Leader- Three months later. 21- Jack's home- Jack on- at table- Mary enters- now trimly dressed, with shoes and stockings- carries books- sits- starts to study with Jack- not so free in her manner with him- there is a certain reserve- little girl not too young (about 12) enters- gives Jack letter- he thanks her- she puts up her face for a kiss- he kisses her carelessly- Mary half rises- angry- child exits- Jack turns- sur- prised- Mary controls herself- they continue studies- Mary can't work- shakes head- registers that she has headache- rises- says good bye- Jack takes her hand- pats it encouragingly- she snatches it away- runs from scene- Jack surprised- follows slowly. 22- Location as in No. 8- Mary comes in- all upset- sits- thinks hard- Jack comes into background- advances slowly- speaks- wants to know what the matter is- Mary hangs head- Jack urges- puts arms about her in a brotherly sort of way- Mary snatches back- then comes slowly into his arms again- hides face a moment- speaks: Cut in leader- "Can't you see! It's you- not him." Back to scene- Jack sees. We'll overlook the fact that it is a very bad plan to have a cut in leader in the last scene and discuss the synopsis. This play was written for George O. Nicholls, a personal friend, and the synopsis was rather more brief than is altogether advis- able in usual practice, but at the same time it told all of the story. It read: Mary Monson, a country girl, is attracted by Paul Lang- ford, who is spending his winter in the South. For his sake she learns to read and write and is willing to work to earn money for proper clothes. The educational side is looked after by Jack Hardy, the schoolmaster, who himself loves Mary. He thinks he is educating her to make her fit to marry his rival, but Mary suddenly discovers that the right man is Jack.
