A BIG SCENIC EFFECT.-The audience
which views modern melodrama has little
or no knowledge of the amount of time and
labor involved in the stage pictures pre-
scented for their entertainment. The race
between an automobile and an express train
in "Bedford's Hope" which appeared at the
Academy during the past week, is a case In
point. The effect requires the services of
thirty-three men to insure its success. Dur
ing the two or three minutes of actual per-
formance over two miles of canvas have
passed over a number of spools and rollers.
The train, while it is in reality stationary,
appears to be travelling at the rate of a
mile a minute and the auto at even a
greater rate of speed Dust flies from be-
meath the wheels the machine rocks and
swdys, and imaginative ones in the audi
ence aver that they can detect the familiar
odor of gasoline so complete is the illu-
sion. In point of fact the auto is a fake
and the dust is blown from a pair of bel
lows concealed In the machine; and the
smoke which trails behind the locomotive is
the result of compressed air acting on a
case of smoldering charcoal, and the rock
ing motion of the auto is due to the efforts
of its occupants. over four tons of gear,
chain and machinery are required in the
production of this effect.
