We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

THE SEVENTH PRELUDE (Essanay) Alice Warren, whose father has been mysteriously murdered while playing Chopin's Seventh Prelude, objects to James Cummings, who becomes her guardian under the will. Every night, at the very hour of her father's death, she continues to hear the Seventh Prelude, and Cummings consults a psychologist on the theory that she is insane. Jack Gordon, a private detective, becomes interested in the case, and at last discovers that Cummings had shrewdly secreted a phonograph in the Warren mansion, which he caused to play each night at the hour of Warren's death in order to drive the girl insane so that he would gain control over her fortune. Gerda Holmes as Alice Warren ; Richard Travers as Jack Gordon.
