THE CUT-BACK 93 son, to remind the spectator of the object of the chase, but the reaJ interest lies between Smith and his keepers. Then Smith comes to the house. Fear lends strength to Judson. He hurls a bottle at Smith, stunning him. He then escapes into the woods, Smith rouses and pursues him. Now the interest lies between Judson, struggling through the brush and Smith, hot in pursuit, with now and then a flash of the keepers. It would be written something like this: 16- Asylum grounds- Smith and keeper enter scene- Smith watches his chance- fells keeper- exits. 17- Base of wall- Smith drops into scene from above- picks himself up- exits. 18- Road- Smith runs through. 19- Back to No. 16- Keeper revives- gives alarm- other keepers enter- all exit. 20- Woods- Smith runs through. 21- Same as No. 18- Keepers run through. 22- Judson's room, as in No. 11- Judson in bed helpless. 23- Woods- Smith runs through. 24- Woods- Keepers run through- one falls- badly hurt- others gather about him- he urges them to hurry on- they exit. 25- Woods- Smith runs into scene- stops to tie shoes- on again. 26- Woods- Keepers run through. 27- Exterior of Judson's, as in No. 9- Smith enters scene- enters house. 28- Woods- Keepers run through. 29- Judson's room, as in No. 11- Smith enters- approaches bed- Judson terror stricken- Smith turns to table- picks up revolver- Judson collects strength- rises- takes large bottle- throws. 30- Woods- Keepers run through. 31- Back to-No. 29- Smith face down on table- Judson rises- staggers out. 32- Exterior of Judson's, as in No. 9- Judson staggers out of house- looks wildly about- staggers off.
