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.

SAFETY FIRST Place three stacked guns in the lobby, a cork in each muzzle, and a placard: These guns were loaded with laugh- ter by Buster Keaton in “The General.” The corks are to keep them from going off in the lobby. Step inside and hear the laugh bombardment. TRACKS Lay sections of compo-board through your lobby and paint it as with tracks and ties—have the audience “walk the track” through the foyer. You can make a startling effect with a short length of raised track in the lobby to the front of a locomotive appearing to come out of the wall. WAX WORKS Fasten a pair of boots to the floor; have a man dressed as Keaton stand in the boots and lean forward at a precarious angle. Let him hold this position long at a time and perfectly immovable and expressionless. The idea is—“Is he alive?” Lots of talk is caused by this sort of stunt. Page Twelve
