520 |a THE MECHANIZED EYE is part of the film retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. When I saw this, I assumed the filmmaker had seen the triptychs from Gance's "Napoleon" (1927). But "Napoleon" was stripped of its three screens in the United States, and this appears to have been made earlier. The Italian Ambrosio Company used a similar technique for 1920s travelogues. -- KEVIN BROWNLOW.There are various special effects (ghosts, fairies, and such) that move through the panels from time to time. There are no titles per say, but the imagery is set to a poem, the lines of which appear above and below the imagery. I have a feeling this may be a test film showing off the capabilities of optical printers. --KENNETH WEISSMAN. Based on the poem "Voices and Visions" (1893), subsequently known as "In Youth, Beside the Lonely Sea" (1896 and thereafter), the words reproduced in the film were written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907), an American writer, critic and long-time editor of The Atlantic Monthly. --BRUCE POSNER / DAN STREIBLE. Alternate titles: "Voices and Visions", "Triptych Poem"; "Unidentified Theisen No. 1".
