She then once more said that the movies was sure one great business, and turned in the magazine to pleasanter pages on which one Vida Sommers, also a screen idol, it seemed, gave warning and advice to young girls who contemplated a moving-picture career. Portraits of Vida Sommers in her best-known roles embellished these pages. In all of the portraits she wept.
"It is a novel with 'body, with a large and timely idea back of it, with sound principles under it, and with a good crescendo of dramatic thrills." Chicago Record-Herald. "To the reader the characters will appear as real as friends they know all of their aims, and likes, and hatreds being portrayed as true to life as snapshots caught by moving-picture cameras." Boston Globe.
This experiment actually has been tried in Berlin. Measures of prevention as well as measures of repression are needed. Restraint is needed for defectives; protection for immigrants and young people, especially on shipboard, in the tenements, and in the moving-picture houses; better housing, better amusements, and better wages for all the people. Finally, the wrecks must be taken care of.
And the changing scenes unfold more rapidly than a moving-picture reel." This sounds much more interesting than the country. And it is more interesting, Broadway asking nothing of a country lane for excitement. And back they go who live on excitement; while some of us take this same excitement as the best of reasons for double windows and storm doors and country life the year through.
Old Fortune looking like a walking pulpit in a thundercloud I should say he'd make about four of me round the equator; and mind you, a chap stopped me in the street the other day and offered me a job as Beefeater outside a moving-picture show: yes, fact, I was wretchedly annoyed about it and the man Twyning with a lean and hungry look like Cassius, or was it Judas Iscariot?
"Thank you so much," exclaimed Bastin, recovering suddenly from his amazement. "I have heard a great deal of these moving-picture shows which are becoming so popular, but have always avoided attending them because their influence on the young is supposed to be doubtful, and a priest must set a good example to his congregation.
Going on? Johnnie's look darted from one to the other. Had Cis been staying away from the factory? Had she been taking some of her earnings to see a moving-picture? or "I don't have to tell you!" Cis declared. "I'm the man that feeds y'!" Barber reminded. "Jus' remember that!" "You've taken my earnings," she returned. "You've taken every cent I've ever got for my work! And don't you forget that!"
He believed he bumped into another waiter; a few guests within range had seemed put out; afterward, he himself was put out. And then well, he had somehow drifted, more or less. "Drifted!" said the lady ominously. "Oh, yes! Tried his hand at this and that," he added rather blithely. He once worked for a moving-picture firm; fell from a six-story window for them.
And yes, the little cell itself was like one of Aladdin's caskets from which had been taken a precious jewel. Just now it was a casket very much in disarray, for Cis had tumbled it in wind-storm fashion as she made ready to leave, carelessly throwing down several things that she had formerly handled delicately: the paper roses, the sliver of mirror, the pretty face of a moving-picture favorite.
While passing through the rue de Siam, the most important road in Brest, where the theaters are, the moving-picture shows, and the cafes, he had had an encounter. "An unexpected meeting," he continued with a mysterious smile. "Who do you suppose it was with?..." Ferragut shrugged his shoulders. And, noting his indifference, the old man could not keep the secret any longer.
