Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Los Angeles Today: April 1, 1913 County resorts on a Sunday or holiday, enjoying a dip in the surf, or gathering ocean treasures. Not only is the winter climate beyond all comparison with that of the eastern coast at the same time of year, but the summer is also far more pleasant. On the coast line there is never an oppressively warm day. The leading seaside resorts of Los Angeles are Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Venice, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Terminal Island and Catalina Island. Santa Monica, which is reached in less than an hour by two electric roads, is a well improved, progressive seaside city, with beautiful homes, fine beach and many attractions for sum mer visitors. Ocean Park, adjoining Santa Monica on the south, is built up with neat cottages for a couple of miles along the beach, with a cement walk four miles long and thirty feet wide. Still farther south, Venice, reached in about thirty minutes from Los Angeles, is a most unique and attractive resort. Redondo has a large hotel, a wharf from which fishing may be had, a swimming bath, and a pebble beach. North of Redondo are the new resorts of Hermosa and Man hattan, with a fine beach. San Pedro, now a part of the city of Los Angeles, is more of a shipping port than a seaside resort. The View from the high bluffs is very fine.

Book Description
Few franchises in the deadball era won as consistently or as often as the New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics. Between them, the teams claimed 12 pennants and finished second or higher 22 times. The steady success also earned managers John McGraw and Connie Mack their reputations. It was history in the making, then, when the two Hall of Famers led their clubs into the 1913 World Series, the third and final time they went head to head for the world championship. The author provides a carefully researched account of the season-long dominance of the Giants and A's, the narrative building toward a dramatic collision in the Fall Classic.

Book Description
Hollywood is haunted by the ghost of playwright and novelist Oscar Wilde. This is the story of his haunting, told for the first time. Set within the rich evolving context of how the American entertainment industry became cinema, and how cinema become the movies, it reveals how Wilde helped to shape Hollywood in the early twentieth century. It begins with his 1882 American tour, and traces the ongoing popularity of his plays and novel in the early twentieth century, after his ignominious death. Following the early filmmakers, writers and actors as they headed West in the Hollywood boom, it uncovers how and why they took Wilde's spirit with them. There, in Hollywood, in the early days of silent cinema, Wilde's works were adapted. They were also beginning to define a new kind of style -- a 'Wilde-ish spirit', as Ernst Lubitsch called it -- filtering into the imaginations of Lubitsch himself, as well as Alla Nazimova, Ben Hecht, Samuel Hoffenstein and many others. These were the people who translated Wilde's queer playfulness into the creation of screwball comedies, gangster movies, B-movie horrors, and films noir. There, Wilde and his style embodied a spirit of rebellion and naughtiness, providing a blue-print for the charismatic cinematic criminal and screwball talk onscreen. Discussing films including Bringing Up Baby, Underworld, and Laura, alongside definitive adaptations of Wilde's works, including, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lady Windermere's Fan, and Salome, Wilde in the Dream Factory revises how we understand both Wilde's afterlife and cinema's beginnings.
