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.

70 Leatrice Joy's up-to-date riding habit, left, doesn't match up at all with the quaint atmosphere of a victoria, nor does a modern chauffeur belong on the coachman's seat, but that doesn't bother Leatrice. With all the air of a grande dame in bustles, she gives her orders, and steps haughtily into her elegant carriage. Every Buggy Has Its Day And now the hansom cab, the victoria, and other such leisurely old vehicles are having their day on the screen, appearing prominently in current films. Wallace Beery, right, in "Casey at the Bat," makes a brave attempt to cut a dashing figure by calling for his ladylove in a hansom, with floral offering clutched in hand. All the best Beau Brummels took their ladies out in hansoms, in the days when men were men. Ford Sterling, above, goes Wally one better by calling for his lady in an automobile— if you want to call it that. This ancient machine was the first auto ever to cross the United States from San Francisco to New York, and is among sixteen other oldfashioned vehicles used in "Casey at the Bat." Even Reginald Denny, left, who is usually seen stepping on the gas, both on the screen and off, succumbs to the fascination of oldtime conveyances and is caught ambling along in a hansom in "Slow Down."
