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.

In conclusion, I want to say a word in behalf of the man behind the camera. This subject intimately concerns him; for he is the one who assumes almost all of the responsibility of the lighting. If he is to carry the blame for failures he should also have the exclusive say as to the arrangem.ent of the lights. Let the camera man make himself thoroughly conversant with lighting and the physical characteristics thereof which aid or disturb the results he seeks to attain, so that the director may be justified in entrusting to him this important phase of the work. Thus, let Science wait on Art, and good judgment on both. 25
