"What's your peculiar charm?" "I'd put it up to him as a business proposition. I'd say, 'The moving-picture field is the greatest gold-field in the world. I'd tell him how many hundred thousand theaters there are in the world, all of them eager for your pictures and only needing to be told about them.
On the residential street it was made long and deep and was sold to a moving-picture company without the alteration of so much as a pew.
Helen May, you must remember, knew her moving-picture romance. She could easily vision these things exactly as they had been presented to her on the screen. That is why she peopled this empty land so gorgeously. It was different now, of course. All the Mexicans she had seen were like the Mexicans around the old Plaza in Los Angeles.
If one hundred photographs of the map of Europe could be taken, each photograph representing in colors the various countries as they appeared upon the map at one hundred different times, and if those hundred photographs could be put on films and shown as a moving-picture on a screen, the result would resemble the shifting colored pieces in a kaleidoscope.
I don't mean to brag, but I know the location of every poolroom in the city! I have a friend in New York who writes the dramatic criticisms for the moving-picture shows; he puts me in touch with the theatrical and newspaper element, and I have seen some high old times up there, I tell you!

Especially moving-picture exhibitions. It was, indeed, her taste for these that had caused her banishment to Millbourne.

There is a cousin of ours, who has grown rich running a cheap moving-picture house, where the taste of the community is debauched every day. He lent my brother two thousand dollars out of his superfluities; it involved no sacrifice to him, for he purchased a third car at the same time and yet HE is our savior.
Some one suggested your going on the road, as they say, with that one thing as your repertoire making a tour of the cheap moving-picture houses of a certain section?" Elsie grew very pale; her lips trembled. One interested wholly in her dramatic career, seeing her at that moment, might have concluded that the girl had it in her to develop a capacity for tragedy as well as comedy.
We won't lose our releases, but" again there was a catch in his voice "we could have cleared thousands and thousands of dollars on reissues. All all of Stella's negative is gone, too!" To my amazement he began to cry, without attempt at concealment. It was something new to me in the way of moving-picture temperament.
It is true that American civilization seems to be monotonous that one sees the same magazines and books, the same moving-picture shows, the same drug- stores, trolley cars, and hotels on a New York model, hears the same slang and much the same general conversation from New Haven to Los Angeles. But this monotony is superficial.
