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.
versa) . The effect they give is given together, the interpretation is a single interpretation. They are not two separate rhythms — or they ought not to be — but one single rhythm in which sound and mute are just so much imagistic raw material. The black and the white notes (the " Oban Times" said it more wisely than Pudovkin) must be played upon with an equal facility.
THEATRE AND CINEMA
In addition to the reissued 'Film Technique" there has been published a short article by Pudovkin on "Acting — the Cinema v. the Theatre,' in the October issue of "The Criterion" (London: Faber and Faber, 7s. 6d.). In it Pudovkin restates his theory that * the man before the cine-camera must behave differently than the man behind the footlights," and emphasises that the value of real material to the cinema has not disappeared with the arrival of the sound film. His theories will be more fully considered in an article in a forthcoming number, in which C. R. Jones will discuss the difference between theatre and cinema.
AIRMAN'S WORLD
For centuries our outlook has been conditioned by an earthly existence and our sense of space governed by contact with the surface of the earth. The advent of the aeroplane and airship has destroyed all this. Mr. Supf* seeks to express in words and photographs some idea of this new world above us, and to a limited extent he has been successful. The text is composed largely of extracts from the diaries and log-books of famous pilots — including Byrd, Lindbergh, Cobham, Pluschow, Mittelholzer, Udet — who write with first-hand knowledge. Their remarkable descriptions read more convincingly than the author's sentimental reminiscences, perhaps because they are roughly jotted down and vividly impressionistic. It is true that when travelling through the air a completely new attitude is obtainable, a sense of freedom and vastness which is impossible to the dweller on and. The majesty of clouds, the drama of storm, the hugeness of the sea cannot be appreciated unless an aerial view is forthcoming; and once that new emotion has been experienced it is difficult to return to an old outlook. J The illustrations are an interesting collection, but it is regrettable that they are not better reproduced both in quality and size.
