For, Bill, Azalea has real talent, real dramatic genius, I think, and if there's no reason against it, except conventional ones, I think she ought to be allowed to become a motion-picture actress. She's bound to make good, she has the right sort of a face for the screen, beautiful, mobile, expressive, and really, a speaking countenance. Why, she'd make fame and fortune, I'm positive."
In the motion-picture art, infringements began with its very birth, and before the inevitable litigation could be terminated no less than ten competitors were in the field, with whom compromises had to be made.
Heretofore, the message of spring, in Henry's estimation, had been a welcome to new clothes, golf, horseback parties, and out-of-door flirtations; this season, it meant to him a falling-off in the motion-picture business. The spring was calling to him, but Henry had to discipline his ears.
As Kennicott switched on the seat-light she turned drearily to the illustrations in a motion-picture magazine. THEY journeyed for three and a half months. They saw the Grand Canyon, the adobe walls of Sante Fe and, in a drive from El Paso into Mexico, their first foreign land.
Babbitt had a good deal of honest pride in being the neighbor of such a savant, and in Ted's intimacy with Eunice Littlefield. At sixteen Eunice was interested in no statistics save those regarding the ages and salaries of motion-picture stars, but as Babbitt definitively put it "she was her father's daughter."
The motion-picture camera was transferred so as to command a view of the lower side of the barrier, then the boat was carefully tilted, and slid forward, a little at a time, until she finally gained headway, nearly jerking the rope from our hands, and shot into the pool below. We enjoyed the wildest ride we had experienced up to this time in running the lower end of this rapid.
But it was also in part in large part, now for her own sake. One evening in the early spring, during the interval between the films in a motion-picture theatre on lower Broadway, a thrill of excitement went through the audience, which was of the sort that desires to live on thrills. Perhaps to-night, however, there was reasonable excuse for genuine anticipation.
Like a motion-picture film, both past and present flashed across his vision in swift flight. His poor, old father and the little chemist's shop at home appeared before him the miserable shop that hardly eked out a penurious living for the old man. Then he saw himself, as soon as his studies should be finished, condemned to go back to that hateful, monotonous little town.
It is the Kingdom of the bird and the flower and the horse and the motor-car and the motion-picture house and the office and the theatre and the ballroom and the school and the college and everything else that man has evolved for himself.
The effect was exactly as if the figures on a motion-picture screen could be heard calling back and forth. The two men whom we had captured with the woman Jael were silent, staring hard at Grim as if they saw a vision; and Yussuf, the prisoner we had made at the oasis, tried to talk to them, but they would not listen to him; the drama was too absorbing.
