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.

One of the most extensive advertising campaigns ever set for a motion picture was this one which preceded the general release of “Spellbound.” Beginning months in ad¬ vance, and continuing right up to this very moment, the American public has seen a veritable avalanche of ads in favorite magazines heralding David O. Selznick’s triumphant hit, “Spellbound.” For an idea of the extent and effectiveness of this great campaign we list here some of the magazines — and their cir¬ culations -which have already shouted the message of “Spellbound” to the American public.
