But up in the gallery the two kineto-

rapidity, keeping track of the film that
is running through the apparatus at
lightning speed. On this film will be
over 375, 600 separate and distinct photo
graphs, each one of which will in turn
be thrown upon the white sheet at the
rate of forty-eight a second--so fast
that they appear to the eye as one
moving, realistic scene, without break
or b1emish.

electricity, being connected on the same

THE PHONOGRAPHS.

Behind the white curtain are placed
a number of monographs. with i'm
mense vibrating horns, capable Of null
tipIying sound one hundred times. One
of these monographs is for each actor.
If there be ten players in the cast, then
ten monographs are arranged behind
the curtain. Each is loaded with the
dialogue OF that particular player.
In the gallery, out Of sight to the
audience, is huge kinetoscope, con-
tanning hundreds Of yards Of film, upon
which is the whole play, actors, cos
tunes, scenery and everything. The
tbeater is then darkened.
Suddenly there Is a flash Of electric
light and the curtain goes up on the
first act. There it is, as perfect as
life. You don't realize that you are
looking at white curtain. You see
what looks like a real stage. It is
the picture Of stage Of London
theater. There are the scenery, the
houses, trees and pathways. The chairs
look so real that you would almost
dare sit in them, and even natural
colors are reproduced.
The orchestra Is playing softly and
from the wings walks out an actress,
not by the jerky fits and starts OF the
kaleidoscope, but with q. slow easy, life
like stride. She walks over to a table
and picks up a bunch of fowers-fow-
ers full of life and color. She turns
toward the audience and speaks. Her
voice Is as clear as bell. You hear
every word as distinctly as II you were
listening to the living woman.
The hero then comes on the stage.
You can hear his footsteps as he
walks along. He greets his sweetheart.
The moment his lips begin to move you
hear his voice.
The photograph and kaleidoscope are
timed to the fraction Of q second. The
characters On the stage are life size
and their voices are natural. You arc
looking at the pictures Of the real
players: you recognize them ct onee,
and you are MstemtinS to their own

things, and they have come to pass,
says the New York Herald. "It am

Let us project ourselves for few
minutes into the future and see what,
according to Mr.. Edison. we will some

There is a play, we will say, running
in London, that a New York manager
thinks would be splendid attraction
here. The players have along engage

want to. see the play while it is new
and creating a sensation, SO the New
York manager reproduees it by the
means Of Ediscn's mechanical devices.
The stage Of a New York theater is
entirely cleared. even the scenery be-

stretched from the flies to the stage.
It covers the stage completely, like an
immense white curtain. The regular
drop curtain rolls down over it.
