40 THE MOTION PICTURE Field Scenes: First park set, Scene 1. Second park set, Scenes 6, 16. Store set, Scenes 8, 14, 17. Cottage set, Scenes 9, 10, 15, 18, 23, 25. Field set, Scenes 11, 12. Street set, Scenes 13, 20, 22. Reviewing these for characters, the four principal characters and three men for minor parts will make all field work with the addition of "children playing in extreme background" in Scene 14, and Scene 6, which requires the two servants from the studio scenes; the farmers cannot double for the servants because they appear together in Scene 26. Motion Scenes. Scene 4 requires a bunch of troublesome actresses and a large expense for wages for a single scene; if possible, it should be made when the bunch of girls are in the studio in conjunction with the scenes of another drama.

Studio work for the drama now will be completed by resetting the stage for the cottage bedroom, Scenes 19, 21, and 24, the actors required being only the three leading characters, CM, G, and GF. These three scenes may be made before Scene 26, or after return to the studio from the field work; according to the producer's con- venience. The producer now takes into the field the four major actors, a policeman, two servants, two farmers, the grocer, and children for Scene 14. Scene 6 is rehearsed and performed before the camera; the two actors taking the part of servants are then dismissed. Scene 16 follows Scene 6 without permitting the tramp to rise from his position on the bench, the action of the two scenes being substan- tially continuous, but the camera lens being capped for a foot of 108
