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.
As an example of the accuracy and attention to detail that prevail in the pictures directed by J. Stuart Blackton is the fact that all of the costumes, from that of the "extra" with the smallest part to the stars, are made especially for each picture. In "The Judgment House," a picturization of the novel by Sir Gilbert Parker, the time of the picture is during the Boer War. Despite the fact that this is approximately a "modern" picture, Commodore Blackton would not be sat
: isfied with modern costumes. Fashion books of the period were hunted up and all the costumes copied from them. Violet Heming, the leading woman, wears several very stunning gowns which, however, when closely studied, resemble very little the frocks of today.

SIR GILBERT PARKER SAILS FOR ENGLAND
The Right Hon. Sir Gilbert Parker, eminent British novelist, whose works are being translated to the screen for Paramount by J. Stuart Blackton, is on the briny deep en route for his home in England. He was bidden God-speed by his numerous friends in this country, chief of whom was Commodore J. Stuart Blackton and his family, whose guest Sir Gilbert has been on several occasions during ) his sojourn in America.
On the eve of his departure the novelist took occasion to oremark upon the pleasure which his investigation of the motion picture field in America had given him. "I have no hesitation in stating," he said, "that Commodore Blackton has one of the finest, most perfect systems of working out photoplays I have ever seen. I feel sure that my stories will lose nothing by their translation to terms of photography and indeed believe that they will be improved and broadened. The camera can paint with strokes more vivid than words the story of my characters."
