Tales From An Indiana College
b y ely d e TuIl

@YR. SMITH has such a voice that
he doesn't need a megaphone when
IL he roots for the home team on
EzRAi the athletic field. When he talks
49, in chapel it is not necessary for
the boys on the back seats TO yell louder
and when he meets a friend on the street
he speaks as If the friend were a block
away. The older students always tell the
freshman that in the spring they take notes
on his lectures from under the campus trees.
The other day a student met the doctor on
the street and accosted him: Doctor, can
you tell me what 1 made on that last eX.
in philosophy
yes. sir. Mr.. Blank shouted the doc
tor. Il can. You funked."
But. doctor, 1 don't want everybody in
the University to know it," protested the
student.
He looked across the street and a half
dozen eo-eds were passing. their faces pink
with suppressed laughter. He turned about
and looked down the street. and there was
a group of fellows. his classmates, standing
near, all grinning delightedly. In the win
dow of a fraternity house near by a num-
Der of interested onlookers had appeared.
He felt uncomfortable and started to move
on. but the doctor had not finished.
Mr.. Blank, 1 don't care who knows IT,
You got ~ on that examination. You
hunked."
The last remark was decidedly crescendo.
The student simply fed.
;
A book on "Stoicism" had been assigned
in the philosophy class for collateral read
ing, and a report was being called for.
How many pages have you read, Mr..
~ asked DR.. Smith, beginning TO go down
the class in alphabetical order.
Two hundred pages" promptly replied
Mr.. A.
Then a fellow, a frat brother, too. un-
thinkingly spoke up:
Doctor, there are only 1e5 pages in the
book"

Six pretty goods were in indianapolis do
ing some shopping, when they accidentally
met John Howard, a popular member OF
last years class. He walked up Washing
ton street with them. and as they were
passing a furniture store an idea came to
John. He explained 10 the girls: Sarah
and / have just been married and are look
ing for furniture to set up housekeeping.
The rest OF you are friends Of the bride.
You understand They understood and the
crowd went into the store.
W want 10 look at some tables and
chairs" John said TO the salesman. SO they
were conducted 10 that department and the
fun began.
Sarah. dear. how do you like this tabie?"
asked John.
"oh. anything you like. I like" she re-
piled.
But I want to please you" persisted
John.
John, dear. III leave IL all to you. You
have such excellent taste
BY this time the girls were giggling. the
salesman was trying 10 suppress a grin.
and two or three idle clerks were winking at
each other from behind the furniture.
This table is large enough for two. isn't
it, Sarah?" asked John.
Yes. dear"
But don't you think we ought to get a
larger one for company?
Yes. dear. l trust your judgment In ev-
Here the salesman excused himself and
went to the rear of the room and sent an
other clerk 10 wait on the couple and en-
joy the fun.
Shall we get a Morris chair, Sarah2"
II think that would be lovely. John; you
can rest in il when you come home from
work"
"Oh. I wasn't thinking of myself. / was
thinking Of getting il for you"
"Oh, John, you mustn't think so much OF
me-"
Il can't help IL. Sarah" replied John,
moving toward her. The girls again broke
out in a chorus OF giggles; the clerk fought
a mighty battle i'm trying TO keep his face
solemn. Sarah moved away from John. for
she knew he was audacious enough 70 90
anything.

TO look around a bit. Well probably be

Then the crowd went to a hardware store
and looked at stoves.

The Production o. Moving Pictures

the audience and disappears. 1t spoils a
good illusion to describe too fully its inner
mysteries, but 1t may be limited that this
black velvet curtains. Black velvet, in fact,
is the material from which the modern bio
graph magician shapes his invisible cloak
and the garment is quite as effective as the
one in Andersen's fairy tale wore when he
set out to discover the wicked doings of
the witch.
The Prisoners Dream is the name of
another piece of Geographic Juggling. The
prisoner is shown in his cell asleep. On the
forbidding stone wall mistily outlined fig
ures appear. Gradually they become more
and more sharply defined, though the wall
can still be seen through the substanceless
forms. One Of the figures is recognized as
that of the sleeping prisoner, the other is a
girls.
There is a quarrel, the flash of a weapon
and the girl falls Imply to the ground as
the real prisoner starts from his sleep and
stares wildly at the dream picture of him
self and victim. The vision fades away and
in its place the ghostly face of the girl floats
across the wall.
The subject is somewhat morbid, but as
an example of trick photography it is an
extremely clever piece of work: The result is
obtained, as in the case of the boxers, by
the combination of two films.
All the scenes are acted in a studio il

unique eleetric-lighting apparatus in the

it is said that each of the thousands that
compose a biograph moving picture receives
about one four-hundredth part Of a second
exposure.
Actors of some considerable ability are
required, for it is by no means easy to tell
a story entirely in pantOmime so that every
one can clearly catch the meaning, and care
full rehearsal is generally necessary before
the actual photograph is taken. A really
successful biOgraph negative" however, is
worth striving for, as it may prove a little
gold mine, for hundreds of films may be
printed from it, and they are sent all over
the world and exhibited before millions of
people in the course of a few months. The
trick photographers are certain to be popu-
lar, as the variety of subjects that may be
produced is endless and the widest dreams
of the nos imaginative c%onjurer may be
realized. THE Arabian Nights stories of
magic carpets upon which their lucky own
ers navigate the air lose their SAVIOR when
compared with the feats the biograph will
make possible.
Already the films have been shown in a
few provincial theaters, and they are short
ly to be seen in this country, and il is prob
able that the new illusion-making scheme
will be a standing feature for many months.

- 1t has become a juggler, or, as
it might prefer to call itself, an illusion
ist," and the uncanny feats il performs will
soon put it's more human competitors to
shame.
1t commences it's performance by showing
on the white screen two men seated at a
small table. They seem to be carrying on
an excited conversation, but after some dis
cussion agree to make a wager on the cause
of the dispute. Then each takes from his
waistcoat pocket a tiny doll. dressed like a
boxer ready for a championship match. The
dolls, placed on the table,, Immediately
come TO life and commence sparring in
the most scientific MANNER. The two Guilt
vers applaud the Lilliputian p~ugilists as
they fight vigorously in a space that might
be covered by a dinner plate, and when at
last a ive-grain glove inflicts the knock
out" blow on a head that is smaller than an
early green pea the conqueror and the can
quered are picked up and ANONYMOUSLY
replaced in the waistcoat pockets of their
owners.
This clever effect, the manager of the bio
graph company explained, is obtained by
superimposing two films. which are exposed
separately. First, the two men seated at the
table act their parts of the performance in
front of the camera, and then another BIZ
ograph photograph is taken of a boxing
match and then the two rolls of films are
skillfully placed together. The difference in
the size of the boxers and the onlOokers is
accounted for by the fact that the latter
are placed much nearer to the camera than
the former.
But even more startling illusions than this
can be produced. For instance, the biograph
throws upon the screen a picture of a head
less man standing by a huge egg, from
which one might expect a healthy young
roc to emerge. The decapitated man cracks
the egg with a mallet and discloses his miss
ing head inside.
The face smiles recognition. and allows
the hands to take a few hundred ordinary
sized eggs from its mouth, for no particular
reason except TO show that it is capable of
further miracles. Then it looks longingly
