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.
SCENE VIII Ballroom, same as Scene IV Guests dancing. Cinderella enters. She creates a sensa- tion. The prince is immediately charmed with her. He approaches and leads her into the dance. Her stepsisters, not recognizing her, make deep curtseys as she passes them with the prince. SCENE IX Leader: Midnight An alcove off the main hall of the palace. Clock on mantel or standing in corner Cinderella enters as if trying to make her escape. She looks at clock and starts toward the hall. A number of young men rush in pursuit of her and surround her begging for a dance. She refuses them all, glancing at the clock. The prince enters and claims a dance. She is about to place her hand in his, when she starts and listens, her hand involuntarily keeping time to the strokes of the clock. (Flash clock dial with hands pointing at twelve.) With sudden resolution, she flings off the prince's hand and runs out through the archway. One of her slippers drops from her foot. The prince stops to pick it up, then runs after her. He stops at the archway, looking in all directions. He indicates that she has disappeared. SCENE X Kitchen, same as Scene I Cinderella enters hurriedly, out of breath. All of her finery has vanished, with the exception of her little glass slipper, which she carries in her hand. She looks at it, then thrusts it quickly into the pocket of her ragged skirt. She sinks down upon the hearth. Her stepmother and step- sisters enter in great excitement, talking and gesticulating. They scowl at Cinderella and order her to help them un- dress. 11
