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.

Eleven East Fourteenth Street 7 have ever been connected with a moving picture, for Mr. Calder has scarcely heard of them and when I insisted he must have, he said, with much condescension, "Oh, yes, I remember, Mr. Griffith did a Chinese picture ; it was rather good but too sentimental. " And he refused to let me take a picture of the studio for he "could not afford to lend his work and his studio to problematical publicity of which he had not the slightest proof/' I felt sorry Mr. Calder had come to reside in our movie nursery at 11 East Fourteenth Street, for we were such good fellows, happy and interested in our work, cordial and pleasant to one another. The change made me sad!
