To give an idea of the large |
of photographs that it re-
quires to complete a set of moving
pictures, Miles Brothers, who took |
the films of the O'Brien s-Burns
twenty round contest at Los An
geles, state that there are over
21G,0 900 separate and distinct
photographs recorded on the roofs.
The pictures were taken by new
process known as the Cooper-He-
witt Lights, an invention of Mr..

New York. These who have seen
the films, which will be shown at
the Logan Opera House Monday

they do not strain the eyes in the
least. One of the prominent fig
ures in the pictures is that of Jim
Jet'ries, who referred the bout and
called it "draW."
