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.

0 'While the pictures have attained a distinct prominence
and are now recognized as a standard attraction, the l_ people playing in them are very sensitive about having
their identity become known. They have an impression that the step from regular stage productions to the scenes before the camera is a backward one." This is a emote from a trade journal. The original "Biograph Girl," Florence Lawrence, changed all that. Shortly after the formation of Laemmle's independent Imp Company, Miss Lawrence vanished and a story was published in St. Louis newspapers that she had been killed by a streetcar. This false report produced advertisements to the effect that "The Biograph Girl" was very much alive and now an Imp star. It was the beginning of the star system. It was also the beginning of "publicity stunts" for picture stars. To squelch the death rumors, Miss Lawrence made a personal appearance in St. Louis and more people met her train to welcome her than appeared the week before to welcome visiting President Taft. Companies were advertising their products "artistically enacted by REAL actors," and when Vitagraph released "Uncle Tom's Cabin" they stated: "It will be the real thing in every respect-real ice, real bloodhounds, real negroes, real actors, real scenes from real life as it really was in the antebellum days!" Exhibitors were seeking other attractions and soon singers with illustrated song slides were included as part of the show. Color too was again bidding for attention.
