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.

Mostly About Ideas them, because stupid humanity refuses to look where it treads. The alert mind—the mind that has been trained to be on the lookout for the extraor- dinary—will point out that, had that same man discovered the cause of his embarrass- ment was a lump of gold, which upon inves- tigation proved to be a part of the Mother Lode which had been there for thousands of years, his error would have been quite origi- nal. That idea would be sufficient on which to base a good dramatic story. All of us, each day, are surrounded with most unusual incidents, which, if we would put into stories, would greatly enhance the amusement value of the greatest entertain- ment in the world today. When the author, playwright or photodramatist completes his story, play or photoplay, he admits that his basic idea was inspired by some incident that he witnessed, or that was brought to his at- tention, and actually happened in real life. When we start to write fiction we get our ma- terial from facts. 21
