2o8 THE ART OF SOUND PICTURES the world over will watch your characters in the situations you portray and will read into them the experiences of their own lives. Give him a situation which is essentially real, dramatic, and plausible, and the most wary spectator will turn eager participant. Let him see unreal people in unreal life, and he will be the most intolerant of scoffers.
