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.

WE do not know of another case where a company has been practically forced to revive one of its past successes because of the insistent demand from exhibitors. Such is the case with " Why Girls Leave Home," released in one reel by Edison several years ago and justly celebrated as one of the cleverest of comedies. So great was the success of this film that it has never been forgotten, and we have received letter after letter from exhibitors and public, asking that we repeat the film. C^ Instead of repeating it, however, we have taken the best parts of the story and added a wealth of new and original material which makes it the greatest two-reel comedy which has ever been produced. " WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME " is released Friday, October 3d. If it is not shown at the local theatre, ask the manager to get it. C The revision of this film is another instance of the popularity of Edison photoplays. At the completion of the " What Happened to Mary " series we were compelled to begin a second, the famous " Who Will Marry Mary ? " stories that are now at the height of popularity. The public recognizes in Edison films that distinguishing mark of quality which differentiates them from all other productions. The painstaking thought and study which are expended upon apparently trifling details in plot, action and photography, have been more than repaid by the tremendous popularity of Edison films.
