Comment
The handwritten descriptions and notes are from David Flaherty. The sketch in the lower margin shows the position of the actors to the camera. The arrowheads show the viewing direction of the actors and the arrow shows the angle of the camera. The authorship of the drawing cannot be cleared attributed. The entry "f.p. wreath" in the Action field stands for "frangipani wreaths."
