The cliché of the rising line in theater and film music

The examples here are from a book of photoplay music for piano. J. S. Zamecnik was a theater music director in Cleveland. He published several volumes of music to accompany silent films, three of which are available on IMSLP (but please note the copyright restrictions). The two pieces below are from the "weekly" section of volume 2 (published in 1913); that is, music intended for particular kinds of events shown in newsreels. Part 5 is for races of various sorts; part 6 is for exhibitions. The ending of the second strain of Part 5, especially, should sound familiar: an expanded rising-line flourish to bring the music and the scene to a close.
