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.

EPES W. SARGENT entered the amusement trade journal field in 1891 as assistant critic on the New York Musical Courier. After three years he went to Leander Richardson's Dramatic News as vaudeville editor, and on the demise of that publication was taken over by the Daily Mercury, later known as the New York Morning Telegraph, where he developed the idea of giving real criticism to vaudeville acts. For office reasons he was required to use a pen name and assumed that of Chicot. He was associate editor of Variety when that publication was launched, but left at the end of six months to start his own short-lived Chicot's Weekly. He has been associated with a number of other publications, including the New York Review. He was general press representative of the Proctor theatres for about a year and was on the press staff of the William Morris, Inc., vaudeville enterprises. He was one of the first press agents in the picture industry, and was editor of the Lubin Manufacturing Company for a year and a half. Originally connected with The Film Index, he was added to the staff of Moving Picture World when the former paper was absorbed, and has been with the Chalmers Publishing Company since the Summer of 1911.
