Tells HoW Animated
Cartoons Are Made
y To Become Real
Film Actors.

An accidental feature OF motion
picture entertainment, which has
become n rather large factor in
many film programs. is the ami
mated cartoon. without which none
OF the big producing companies
seem TO be able to get along now
auays. There ls probably no feature
OF motion picture work that re-
or So much actual labor as the max
ing 81 these queer manikins that
seem TO draw themselves on the
screen as pen-and-ink, figures and
then spring into action. however
s'ltf that action might be. rn1

and his successors in entertainment.
Since the beginning OF the ami
mated cartoons there have been
many improvements made in the
pictures that enter into the construc-
tion of every reel OF such films. j.

Just joined the Paramount forces,
Is a very keen student OF public
taste, as ali cartoonists are, and -
most enthusiastic over the prospects
OF his particular line of work. lie
has invented a special process Tor
the making OF film cartoons which
reduces the amount OF labor con-
making OF a background which ~
first reproduced again and again
and the action of the figures then
drawn upon II.
''The possibilities OF the moving
drawing" he said when seen, are
s.waE.
upon the imagination Of the artist.
"At the present time we have a
staff OF six cartoonists, twenty as
sistant artists and four csmeramen
constantly at work. An idea Of the
amount OF labof entailed may be
gained from the, knowledge that
there are thirty-four different pro-
cesses to be undergone by each car.

10 1000 cartoons in each thousand
feet of completed film. Hence a
weeks output involves from 10000
to $4,000 processes.

film. An important feature OF my
invention consists OF a method for
controlling the speed of action in the
picture. This Is done by varying
the number of photographs taken OF
each cartoon. when the action
comes to a stop numerous photo
graphs are taken OF the same piet-
ure. the number being dependent
upon the length of time that the
action is SUSPENDED.
This perpanent BACKGROUND may

MIR. Rrav continued. What is more.
a large number OF coDies are printed
with portions of the background
omitted. This obviates the neces-
sity of erasing to a great extent.
"In order that movement may be
both steady and continuous on the
screen. great care must he taken In
the drawing of the cartoons. a task
greatly sImplified by our use OF trac-
Ing paper. The artist merely places
a piece OF paper upon the last draw
ing, so that the position last taken
by the figures shows clearly through
the paper. Thus he Is able to draw

Unfortunately an increase In the
number Of cases of pneumonia is to be
expected with the advent of cold
weather" says the report. 1T Is
agreed by those who have made study
of the subject that. except in the case
of undue exposure, 1t is not the de-
crease in Temperatures which causes in
creased prevalence OF pneumonia, but
the defective ventilation incident to the
cold From now on until warm weather
special care should be exercised by the
aged and the very young, and by the
debilitated to prevent contracting tnlS

HOLLINGER WINS
Fight AGAINST
ARNOLD'S STAND
DobeI Water Wheel for Power
Plant viii Have to Compete
With Other Makes

Supervisor Arnold's proposed speci
fications for a water wheel and other
additions to the city electric power
plant brought forth last night all OF
the discussion that had been expected,
and good bit more, tut the discus
sion resulted In victory for the var
ious members of the board who had
been holding out since the s2ecifica-
tons were first introduced last week,
that alternate bids might be submit
ted.
Supervisor Hollinger started the
whole discussion at the previous meet
ton to the plans which were submit.
ted by William L. Frazee. superinte1-
dent of the electric light works.
through Mr.. Arnold of the electric
light committee.
Hollinger claimed that the specifi-
cations as submitted were for bur one
certain make of wheel, namely the
Dobel wheel, OF the Pelton-Dcbel COM
pany, and that they did not allow 9TH
er companies a fair chance TO make
bids.
At the last meeting Hollinger mad
asked that the advertising of bids be.
delayed 50 days. and his motion was
passed Last night he presented an
amendment as follows:
ut is understood that any mannfac-9
turer can offer an alternate PROPOSE
ton to furnish plant which In MS
estimation is an Improvement over the
specifications gotten out by the city
and county of Honolulu. but such spc-
cifications must be accompanied by a
guarantee showing the amount OF pow
or to be derived from various flows
of water, and the per cent CT efficien-
cy at fractional loads.
Mr.. Arnold's contention was that
since the specifications submitted
were lust what the electric superin-
tendent wanted, and since the super
intendent had studied the condition
here long enough to know the local
requirements better than any OF he
supervisors, that his specifications
should be accepted, thus saving time
in the whole matter.
Mr. Frazee, when called upon tc
state his view in the matter, told the
hoard that the specifications were sc,
cared from the Dobel firm this sum
mer. after he had explained to them
the exact conditions Of the water sup.
piv in Nuuanu valley The DoDel
wheel is considered everywhere. he
said. "as the best wheel in the mar
ket and for that reason ! went to the
Dobel people
Mr.. Hollinger did not agree with
this belief. and said he knew OF otner
wheels which we're considered super
ior to the Dobel make.
At the end of the discussion, which
had waxed exceeding warm at times.
4 vote was taken. The amendment
was carried.
