Leader—­

     BY THE MAGIC OF FLORENCE’S ENTHUSIASM BLINKER SUDDENLY SEES
     CONEY ISLAND IN ITS TRUE GUISE.

58—­Flash on horse.

     Florence all ecstasy.

59—­Another horse—­parallel.

     Blinker watching Florence—­sudden change to delight.

60—­Horses on track in Steeplechase, running parallel.

     The two horses are going away from the camera, and as
     Blinker turns to smile at Florence, she smiles at him, and—­

     The scene interposes into—­

61—­A rolling open field.

     Taking the place of the Steeplechase horses, we see Florence
     and Blinker riding at a gallop on real horses, typifying
     their imagined visualization.  The scene interposes back into—­

62—­Steeplechase horses.

     Blinker laughs merrily at Florence, and both “work” as hard
     as they can to send the horses faster.[51]

[Footnote 51:  The technical “interpose into” and its resultant “back into” are technical devices to indicate the merging of one scene into another—­and the effect here noted, as well as the following one, while very significant if well done, must not be taken as models—­they were specially planned with the knowledge that a director could and would secure them adequately.  See definition of “Interpose,” Chapter III.]

Leader—­

     NO LONGER DOES BLINKER SEE A RABBLE.  HE IS AMONG HIS
     BROTHERS, ALL SEEKING AN IDEAL.

63—­Front of tawdry amusement place.

     Blinker is with Florence.  As they come up and listen to the
     “ballyhoo” man—­

     The scene interposes into—­

64—­Front of fairy castle.

     Florence and Blinker as Prince and Princess.

     The scene interposes back into—­

65—­Front of amusement place.

     Blinker and Florence rush in with crowd, all gay and
     hilarious.

Leader—­

     SO BLINKER ROLLS UP THE SHIRTSLEEVES OF HIS MIND, AND
     BECOMES AN IDEALIST TOO.

66—­A show (Slide).

     Good comedy to get some people coming down a slide, with
     Blinker and Florence among them.

67—­Bottom of slide.

     Blinker and Florence get out, gay as can be—­and as they
     stroll off, there is a touch of sentiment.

Leader—­

     THE PARTING.

68—­Park entrance.  Night.

     Blinker and Florence.  She stops him.  He wants to go on with
     her, but she says: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “I MUST LEAVE YOU HERE.  I DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE FAIRYLAND
     BY SHOWING YOU—­’BRICKDUST ROW.’”

     He tries to persuade her.  She is firm.  Another “date” for
     tomorrow.  Off she goes.  He the other way.

69—­Room.
