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.

Introduction xiii even remotely resembled condescension on the part of others. Were it possible to roll back the years it would be a joyous moment to hear that sonorous voice call out, "Bitzer— camera— Pickford— enter, and remember not to take up too much film in doing what you rehearsed. Film footage costs money." But perhaps where he and the beloved Billy Bitzer are now, they have that big Biograph camera greatly improved and are preparing stunts for the old Biographers when we arrive over there. I devoutly hope so. Sentimental? Why not?
