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.
Thoughts While Stalling
Apologies to O. O. McIntyre
Some pictures I would like to run again .... A Woman of Paris, the only serious drama ever produced by Charles Chaplin. It concealed in real human fashion the peaks of emotion. It was at least fifteen years ahead of its time .... Lewis Stone in River’s End, a silent picture which literally screamed dramatic art .... Pola Negri in Passion, a colored production from Germany that made history ten years ago .... Chaplin and Coogan in The Kid, human interest and pathos never excelled either before or since .... Marie Dressier in Tillie’s Punctured Romance, a marvelous example of the mugging type of humor .... Mabel Normand in Micky, the picture that printed her wistful smile indellibly on the hearts of millions of picture fans .... Pearl White in The Iron Claw, a serial thriller that really thrilled. Even the sophisticated elders followed each chapter with breathless expectancy .... Ford Sterling in His Great Moment, a style of comedy now gone, but very popular at the time .... Douglas McLean in Going Up, the climax in a flight that made your hair stand on end never failed to bring the audience to the edge of their seats .... Quo Vadis, produced by the Italian company of Ambrosia, was a picture with a huge cast well handled by comparison with other attempts at that time . . . . the Desperate Desmond series produced by Nestor.

Actors and actresses I’d like to see again .... Katherine McDonald . . . . Mary Fuller of the Edison Co. . . . Marguerite Snow, James Cruze and Florence La Badie, the eternal triangle of the old Thanhauser Co
Marguerite Fisher, J. Warren Kerrigan and Jack Richardson of the
American Co “Our Mutual Girl”
who popularized the products of the Mutual Film Corp Irving Cum
mings in Comet Comedies .... John Bunny, Flora Finch and Lillian Walker of Vitagraph.
These stars shown brightly and then flickered out while most of the projectionists of the present day were still in their swaddling clothes cooing at their proud parents. Projection is the only profession in the world wherein a man can be an old timer at thirty.
NATURE OF LIGHT

fringes. There are others visible with slits, circular aperatures, discs, stripes, etc.
When white light is used the bands are colored due to the unequal bending of light of different wave lengths. The source of light must be small a slit or a spot, for diffraction fringes to be observable. If the source is too large we have fringes from each point of the source overlapping until indistinguishable.
The colored rings around the sun or moon when seen through a thin cloud are due to diffraction. We can sometimes see diffraction fringes through our eyelashes.
Scientists have one important application of diffraction. It has been found that strips of opaque and transparent material separate light into spectra. This effect was first secured by the use of wires so the apparatus was called a grating. Now the diffraction gratings used are ruled on glass or speculum metal and commonly have about 15,000 lines to the inch. The work of analysis of ultra violet and infra red spectra is carried on using gratings on metal in which the diffraction is secured by reflection.
