wonderful yitascope at 305 Westminster
street. IL you want to see serpentine
dancing, just as 1t is done beyond the
footlights, see the vitascope. The won
derfuI machine will also make you think
you are right in the midst of the busy
scenes OF famous Herald square, New

beautiful fountain in Central Park, SO re-
markably realistic are the scenes repro

tatives TO see the show and he treated
them royalty, and also gave an explana-
tion OF the way tho trick is done. To re-
produce the exact motions of the figures

Things is after all very simple, just like
standing the egg on end-when you know
how. Hundreds Of photographs of given
subject are taken. In fact, all the posi-
tions are caught by the camera. They

graph, but when they are strung
out on 10 foot continuous rib

tho machine at the marvellous speed
OF 40 a second, they blend and pass so
swiftly that the figures move on the big
white surface on which the pictures are
reflected, "just as natural as life" 1t is
like stereopticon exhibition-with this
difference. everything shows action just
as the eyel.asss the things as they actually
exist. Street cars move, men walk and
talk, fountains play, children frolic
and the dancers show their tights, while
their heels are elevated to the delight OF
tho froAt-row bald heads. Eight hun
dred tiny photographs on each string,
passing through the Vitascope at the
speed Of as a second ana enlarged upon
the canvass by powerful lens, produce
tho remarks ple result that pleases the eye
and ticbes the fancy Immensely.
After the press private exhibition and
reception the Vitascope was open to the
public and hundreds OF Westminster
street strollers dropped in to see the
sights during last evening.
Everyone was delighted and today the
novelty OF the new picture machine is
being talked about.

his well known songs during waits be-
tween pictures and exhibitions of the
Vitascope will be given every hour until
