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.

There are two particular features of this section of Paris, the approach and the view from the top of one of the hills. There are narrow streets and alleys with their art shops, cafes and the inevitable glimpse of Sacre Coeur, where artists of all nationalities come to paint and sell their efforts. The spot chosen for the Art Students Ball could have been the Moulin de la Galette. From one of the balconies may be seen the night illumination of the Arch of Tri omphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Opera House, and the Pantheon. The street leading away from this night club restaurant is the Rue de Calvaire, half side walk and half stair, two or three blocks long. To get the effect of this street on film the Dupy duplicating machine was used for a traveling matt shot executed by Warren Newcombe. This allowed a very dramatic "tag” for the picture panning up from the two principals to a view of Paris in all its glory. Page 9
