Pop-up never showed up. It was blocked and kept making noise with notification to unblock it which I ignored. Very persistent. That scene isn't in that screenplay. Instead is a much longer, lees interesting scene I don't recall being in the movie that focuses on the audience and Kane's reactions to the tepid applause. That doesn't mean the scene in the movie wasn't written out, just it was probably added after shooting started.
Reading the early part of the early screenplay, it is very cinematic.
Reading vaeious sources about who wrote Citizen Kane is like that movie, Rashomon, what is truth? Every source tells it differently. Below is an excerpt from the Writers Guild West:
• Welles drew from his personal life for the script, and Mankiewicz drew from publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst's life, to flesh out the character of Charles Foster Kane. It was long rumored that what enraged Hearst most was the use of the word “Rosebud,” which some have claimed was Hearst's nickname for his mistress Marion Davies' private parts. –multiple sources
• Mankiewicz wrote the first draft of the screenplay in about six weeks, and wrote much of his work from a hospital bed. –IMDB
• Budd Schulberg on Mankiewicz: “Mankiewicz claimed credit for the concept, and in truth had talked to my father, the producer B. P. Schulberg, about doing a film on William Randolph Hearst before Welles's dramatic arrival in Hollywood.” –

• Schulberg: “Welles rewrote scenes to define Kane as less a monster than a many-faceted public relations genius, as creative as he is finally self-destructive.” –

• Welles claimed that William Randolph Hearst was not the only inspiration for Kane. Among others, Chicago financier Harold Fowler McCormick was also a model for the character, in particular his promotion of his mistress and second wife, Polish opera singer Ganna Walska, who was considered a dreadful singer, despite the thousands of dollars McCormick paid out for her musical training. Another model was Samuel Insull, a Chicago utilities magnate and one of the founders of General Electric, who built what is now the Lyric Opera of Chicago for his singer/mistress. Howard Hughes was reported to be yet another model for the character, as was
Time magazine founder Henry Luce. –multiple sources
Me again:
It is well known that the scene of Kane's childhood resembles Welles' childhood, not Hearst's, as Welles lost both parents in his youth as happens to Kane.
