MAKING CLOUD SCENES.
Some Useful Hints to Amateur
Photographic

Charles Stuart Moody in the Outing Magazine.
Your cloud picture depends largely
upon your choice Of subject. Rivers
and small lakes. mountains and hills
lend the best contrast, while trees in the
immediate foreground come next. Wide
expanses of level lands or vast stretches
of water are unsatisfactory. II you de-
sire an ocean cloud effect, be sure to
place a cliff or some prominent land
mark in the foreground to break the
monotony.
The exposure for cloud effects. made
necessary by the laws of light and op-
tics. is necessarily very rapid. Anom-
alous as 1t may seem. this does not pre-
suppose as extra rapid lens. In fact.
such a one may defeat the very object
you hope to attain. 1 make my cloud
scenes with an ordinary rectilinear lens
by preference. The exposure with an
eight-stop should be the maximum speed
of the ordinary shutter. II the day is
exceedingly brilliant, the stop must be
correspondingly decreased; the great
danger is in overexposure. thereby dis
solving your clouds.

Turing atmosphere. Miss Mathews has
caught Peggy young, in her Dublin cir
Gus. AS afterward, she is there the
idol of all her acquaintances. Garrick
bangles London before the girls eyes
and gains her mothers consent to take
her there. The circus scene. with its
contortionist and the redoubtable Mrs.

also in love with Garricx. The scene is
in the green room of the Covent Garden

rick arranging their wedding for the
following day
Act three finds Peggy on her wedding
day. Sorrel discovering the fact of the
wedding, that Garrick has concealed, dis
closes herself to Peggy. who breaks OFF
the affair. In the last act the actress,
heart-broken over the detection of Gar
rick. the victim OF a cabal instigated by
her rivals. breaks down in her perform
ance The end finds her in Garrick's
arms Prior to this, however. Garrick
Is discovered in the box on one side of
the theater and the Prince of Wales on
the other side, and il is here that the
ploters attempt to drive Peg Wofingon
from the stage, which makes one of the
most sensational scenes ever attempted
in any theater

Garrick will be portrayed by Frances
