| real automobile comes along and
whizHes W to him.
Then a trick Is introduced. There In
a second man who has boon made up
10 resemble the other so closely In fla
cial appearance that the two cannot
be distinguished from one another at
n slight distance, but the second Ia a
legleSs man, with his legs cut off above
the knees, one OF a tribe of unfortun-
atcs who are remarkably numerous in
Paris
The dinematcgraph stops taking
pictures Tor u minute and the legless
man lies down III the road in front OF
The automobile. He has with him
imitation models OF feet and lower
legs. These he places in front of tho
stumps. Then the picture taking ma
chine starts again and the automobile
runs between the mans stumps and
Inc imitation legs, producing In the
picture an effect as IL the legs had
been cut clean on.
Then the automobilist descends and
tastens the imitation legs on the man.
Al thlS point another trick Is played.
Inc picture-talSing machine is stopped
again for moment and the first man
comes back and takes me place of the
legless man, who crawls off without be-
ing photographed, Then the cinemat-
oSraph him shows to the public a per-
tectly sound man walking away after
having had his legs cut off and re-
placed.
A different and equally interesting
Trick Is played in a series of pictures
illustrating the dream of a little Pa
rlsian modtste. You see the little mo-
diste tastefully but simply dressed
starting out with her big box to deliver
some hnery to rich woman. The
day Is warm, she sits down on a park
bench TO take rest and places her
tsAr0h0Hrd hnCt1A 1,n
asleep and begins to dream.
me lid of the box lifts up, and out of
the inside steps little old gentleman,
who gradually grows larger and offers
her all sorts Of luxuries From within
the magic box appear fairies and SER
wants who bring their luxuries. They
spread gorgeous bouquets, with choice
wines before her They offer her splen-
did Jewels. Then her dear old father
and mother, from Montmartre. appear,
ana urge her to come home to them
She hesitates between her simple home
ana life of luxury when she suddenly
wakes up and a Paris policeman is or
dering her to move along with her big
hat box.
The production of the Illusion in this
case Is perhaps more ingenious than in
the previous example. When the girl
puts the box down on the park seat it
is replaced by a mere painted repre-
ground of the scene. Then the lid of
the box appears to be lifted up. but
what really happens is that a big
square panel is removed from the
painted scene, just above the box, Civ
ing the effect of lid with n black
lining that has been lifted up. Through
this opening all sorts of real persons
can be photographed and to the specta
tor at the moving picture exhibition
they appear TO be coming out of the
box, as If by magic. When they stand
long way back they appear very
small. and as they move forward to-
ward the painted scene they grow larg
er. Then they step out through the hole
in the scene and talk with the little
modiste and dance around her.
Finally the magic visitors step back
through the hole again. grow small and
gradually fade away into nathingness.
Then the panel in the scene is replaced,
giving the impression that the box has
been closed and man in policeman's
uniform appears and orders the modiste
TO move along.-New York World.
