Well, looky looky, it's Harvey Peake bound to resurrect at some point! I guess he was the artist that so many internet gurus thought none of us would ever remember! But here he is and I'm sure he would have preferred for young students to enjoy his work just for fun's sake.

| Harvey Peake was an illustrator for the New York Sun. He was from Indiana, 1866-1958. His work was popular in the newspapers; his illustrations the likely source of modern Smilies and Twitter branding may have been based upon his poem about Movie fans as seen above... |
In Every Motion Play Audience by Harvey Peake
One open-eyed orphan, ogling operator
occasionally;
Two tireless twitterers, talking tête-à-tête
Three tiny toddlers, treating themselves to
thrills;
Four fussy females, feverishly fidgeting
forward;
Five facetious fans, finding films funny;
Six scenario students, studying screen sagely;
Seven stupid strangers, seeking sleep slyly;
Eight ecstatic enthusiasts, eying every-
thing eagerly;
Nine near-sighted nobodies, nettling near-
by neighbors;
Ten toe-treaders, trampling the throngs.

| Students
may print, color and cut-out Peake's smilies to decorate a doll's room. Decorate a dolls notebook, make a cute banner or patch and old pair of blue jeans for your doll's wardrobe if you like! |
