However, in the later forms OF
dramatic construction, the ele-
ment of surprise enters largely.
Today. despite Aristotle, it is
often advisable to keep your audi,
ence in ignorance of a given soIu-
ton so as to spring surprise at
the denouement. O. Henry was
one of the founders of this new
cult in writing with his surprise
finish. The mystery story, play
: or picture, nowadays depends
upon it almost exclusively for. its
kick" coupled with the necessary
suspense and thrills along the
way.
Comedy partakes of all these
qualities and Langdon has made
a careful study of them so as to
apply them to his films. such as
his recently finished laughopus.

innumerable surprises, some con-
trasting emotions, and a pleni.
tude of laughs.
