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.
Picture. Show Annual comic, beautiful—will always be brought to mind by a certain title. It is not always a flattering memory. Sometimes one recalls a ludicrous action, an overacted scene, a coarse or revolting episode. It may be the scene that mars an otherwise delightful film, or it may be the one that redeems the film from hopeless mediocrity. It is more often, however, that the scene is remembered for its merit. For instance, surely no one who has seen " Ben Hur will ever forget the chariot racing. The flying manes and tails, wide eyes, and dilated nostrils of the teams as they came nearer and nearer, until it seemed that the thundering hoofs would trample the peacefully seated spectators. It was a masterpiece of photography and direction and skilful horsemanship. A scene memorable for its pathos is one from " The Sea Beast," when Ahab returns from his disastrous voyage in search of Moby Dick, and his sweetheait hurries from the ballroom, iadiant with expectation, to find him maimed—an em- bittered cripple who will never again dance, never again swarm up the rigging of his outward-bound ship so that he may catch the last glimpse of her casement window. Two other scenes, strangely similar to each other, that come to mind by virtue of their pathetic appeal, are from films utterly at .variance. What could be more Louise Dresser as the Goose Woman in the film of thai name. Charlie Chaplin in " The Gold Rush " realises that his guests are not coming to his party. The five left to hold the fort—William Powell, Ralph Forbes, Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton, and Noah Beery in " Beau Gate."
