Lipton’s Journal/February 22, 1955/685

I suspect that the form of the play is always a variation of the One, the Two, and the Three, psychically that is. To wit; there have been play-structures corresponding slightly ahead in time to any given century, and if I knew enough about the drama I could explain Act One, Act Two, and Act Three as containing respectively.

One	Two	Three	Most plays.
One	Three	Two	The Little Foxes?
Two	One	Three	End as a Man?
Two	Three	One	All My Sons—Death of a Salesman.
Three	One	Two	The Gate of Hell.
Three	Two	One	The Cocktail Party.
