Novelties in Motion Pictures

Now that the novelty Of the moving
picture has worn off, said a man
whose business is to think up new ideas
Evening Post writer, ut requires a
good deal of ingenuity to show the
public something it hasn't seen before.
In the early days of the business there
were one or two simple tricks that
never failed to fool the average audi
ence. But nowadays the old tricks
won't do.
For instance, one of the first stunts
was to take a roll of pictures and then
run it off backward on the machine.
You would see regiments of soldiers
marching backward down the street
and disappearing in the distance, or
there was that old standby, the water
sports film, which, when run the wrong
way showed men rising feet first from
the water, turning somersaults and
finally landing gracefully on the spring
board overhead.
Another reversible film which kept
many people guessing long time was
one which first showed mass of clay,
and then to take form and shape itself
into the likeness of George Washing
ton. How was il done? Simply by
taking a wax image of the father Of
his country and slowly melting it while
the photographs were being licked off.
Now, when we ran the film backward,
the melting process was reversed But
as / said. these things don't go down
any longer.
you'd be surprised to know how re-
sourceful some of the photographers
are today. There Is film which has
lately been sent out all over the coun-
try that marks the climax in the art
of motion picture taking. l don't be-

'"rhe man who took that picture spent

He singled out a spot on the shore of

which was out OF water at low tide, and
under water at high. He started at

While the blue is richest
In the starry sky,
While the softest shadows

While the moonlight slumbers

Bright elves OF the wildwood.

While the joyous bounding

The Pronunciation of TrOn"

The London Ironmonger for October
16 says: "A discussion has been. going
on in daily paper as to the correct
pronunciation of the word iron
whether it should be Turn or Iron
The only answer that one can make
is that by long usage i-urn has come
to be accepted by educated people gen
orally as the right way to pronounce
the name of the metal. In the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, according to
Doctor Murray, the word was frequent
ly written i-ren' and doubtless SO pro-
nounced What seems to have hap
pened in this as in many other cases,
is that the spelling has undergone cer-
tain changes while the pronunciation
has remained fairly constant At any
rate, 1T is too late in the day now to
expect Englishmen to revert to so pc
dantic an utterance as Iron and in
all proba bility, therefore, 1-urn ii will
continue to be as long as the language
and the metal endure"
The editor OF the Bulletin has fire.

ticularly Vfreinians say "i-r0n," a pro-
