Films Directed By Roy Mack
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...

Lee Dixon (actor)
Lee Dixon (January 22, 1910 – January 8, 1953) was an American tap dancer, singer, musician and actor in the 1930s and 1940s. He appeared in Hollywood musicals and other films, as well as on the Broadway stage. Biography Dixon's parents were a dance team, and he first appeared on stage as an encore to their performance when he was 3 years old. He became established as a vaudeville performer before he was 17. In his adulthood, Dixon worked at a variety of jobs before he became a full-time entertainer. An encounter with Rudy Vallee in 1934 provided the opportunity to make that transition. Dixon was master of ceremonies at the Cocoanut Grove night club in Boston when Vallee visited the club.

Dixon took the contract, and a few months later he tested well enough to gain a contract with Warner Bros. On Broadway, Dixon created Will Parker in '' ...

The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee'') ...
