From the philadelphia Record.
When Thomas Edison exhibited his
original kinetoscoDe he foretold that he
would enlarge the effects produced by 1t
and give life-size pictures in action, with
every detail of movement and expression.
The development of the vitascope has
already in part fulfilled this prediction.
The proper colors have, furthermore.
been secured through the careful hand
painting of every seDaratc negative in
the series of thousands that are whirled
by the magnifying lens. This process
