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.
Gossip Street
Chapter I
The kissless wife, of whom so much has recently been heard in the divorce courts, has her masculine counterpart in the kissless husband in George Loane Tucker's latest photoplay, "Ladies Must Live." The role of the kissless husband is played by Robert Ellis and the kissless wife by Betty Compson.
Louise in Tights
Louise Fazenda does not devote her entire time and thought to the making of eccentric comedies. She is a steady contributor to the national motion picture magazines. Her "Impressions" of the screen folk have awakened wide comment both in the local film colony and among the fans throughout the entire country. Asked to give an impression of herself she wrote : "A Tolstoy heroine in tights."
Arctic Humor
Capt. Lloyd L. Wardell, a Palmer Student, does not believe that environment affects the writing of photoplays. He lives away up in the icy solitudes of Alaska, in the town of Juneau, but is evidently quite able to project his consciousness from the majestic though desolate quietude of the Arctic to the frivolous hubbub of an American metropolis. He won one of the cash prizes offered last month by Film Fun with his "Matchmaking Matrons," a two-real scenario of a brilliant, satirical type, replete with startling complications.
Griffith Buys
Katherine B. Hamill and Millie Binks of Salt Lake City, Palmer students and collaborators in several successful photoplays, recently sold a photoplay to F. A. Todd, who in turn sold it to D. W. Griffith.
At Santa Ana, California, over one hundred and fifty representative citizens, led by Superior Judge Thomas, conferred with Frederick Palmer in a discussion of motion picture censorship. As a result of the conference, a more friendly and understanding attitude toward motion pictures exists in Santa Ana.
Home Brewed Movies
Favorite movies shown in the home or home-brewed movies of domestic or local scenes, are within the possibilities of the immediate future. Harry Levey, New York producer of educational and industrial motion pictures, has announced the perfection of a "movie disk" which will bring the moving picture into the home just as the phonograph disk brings grand opera and monologue.
Mental Wanderlust
"Mental wanderlust" is sometimes more damaging than the physical variety. Especially in the scenario writing game!
Oliver Morosco, now filming "The Half Breed," for First National, recently received a scenario from "north of the circle." Eagerly he tore open the envelope, and found — a story based on life in Ecuador !
The writer was afflicted with "mental wanderlust" — had wandered away from an attractive locale, with which he is thoroughly familiar, to dabble in a story of the distant tropics, which he has probably never seen.
One can't imagine the owner of a rich Alaskan gold mine abandoning his workings to experiment with a coffee plantation south of the equator, but, from a literary standpoint, that is exactly what this author had done.
