- Ball, Robert Hamilton. Shakespeare on Silent Film: A Strange Eventful History. London: George Allen and Unwin, 1968 (pp 41, 43-45, 310-11, 312), Ball quotes from Moving Picture World `...when anyone pays 5 cents to see Romeo and Juliet, he pays to see love. When he pays 5 cents to see Macbeth he pays to see a fight’.
