PHOTOPLAY PLOT ENCYCLOPEDIA A valuable exercise for the reader will be to conceive as many forms of Ambition as possible, and then to trace their logical combination with other situations. This practice is of value in every case, but in Situation XXX it will be especially stimulat- ing. The only way to develop plot ability is to create plots. With this situation as a beginning, outline, in accordance with the method suggested before, at least ten plots. Then analyze each one in turn, testing its strength and value. In this way you will acquire a keen critical power and an imaginative alertness. C ( 1 )— Ambition and Covetousness Heaping Crime Upon Crime. (2)—Parricidal Ambition, or Ambitious Desire to Slay a Parent for Self-Aggrandizement. 45
