Quoted Passage in "Plot" edit

The passage in the "Plot" section, allegedly a copy from The Moving Picture World, appears to suffer from optical character recognition glitches ('...lie and "Uncle Billy" leave the house...') and numerous substitutions of commas for periods and vice versa. Is this really verbatim from a 1911 publication that, itself, was full of typesetting errors? (And, if so, shouldn't we mark it [sic]?) Or were these errors introduced during a sloppy transcription process? Is this really the best we can do? rowley (talk) 19:24, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
