theater and company of actors. ane
some Of the best picture dramas ant
farces now shown have been produced
here. The French manufacturers pro
lduce all the kinds OF films made In En-
gland and America. but they make
the eolored pictures and the trick pic
lures In addition. and on that account
their work Is more interesting to the
uninltlated than that OF either I'm
lgllsh or American manufacturers
An Example of the Method.
Everybody knows how moving pie
Iture camera photographs a bali game
or a prize fight. The hlm, which il
Just like any other photograph ilm en-
eept In size. passes over the aperture
through which the exposure Is made
at the rate OF about 1865 pictures TO
the minute. recording every motion OF
every object within range OF the cam
era. while II Is passing, and sometimes
consuming half mile Of aim IN a sin
Gle record. But everybody does not
know how the picture OF q man who
is run over by an automobile and both
legs cut OF. and who afterward re-
places his legs and walks away on
them is made. nor how the siren who
calmly swims about under water dur
ing a twenty minute picture could have
remained below the surface long enough
for the photographs TO be taken
In the case Of the man the picture
was made By the -arFet." or stop In
that Of the siren the "fundu." or blend.

discoveries. and both are all impor-
tant In the making OF any moving pie
fure Aims that are not strictly record
Aims. In the ~arret~ the machine ls
stopped at some definite point during
the exposure OF the aim and the shut
ter closed SO that registration is Inn
possible. A change In some portion Of
the object being photographed Is then
made. after which the operation o. the
machine resumed The -fundn- Is pro
duced By a double exposure OF one aln.
OF by doubling the flm By sup~rimpos-
ing one aim upon another Cor repro
