Just how motion pictures are made an
mechanical effects produced is told mos
Interestingly in a recent Issue Of the Ne'
York World, which says in part;
You have seen your favorite heroine
jump unhesitatingly OF a tall clinf
Or swim an ice-choked river? You
never knew she could swin7 Nor does
she. Another movie trick is what you
have seen.
Movie stars seldom do such things.

this part of the stunt for the real
actors. SO when you see your beautl-
full heroine jump to her fleet pony and
gallop wildly across the prairie you
are safe in assuming that she can't
even ride pony, much less turn back
ward with her feet out OF the stirrups
and her hands high above her head,
waving madly to you. What you have
seen is some cowboy made up as the
heroine was in the scene Immediately
preceding 1t. In studio parlance this
is doubling" 1t is a trick that fools
even the most up-to-date movie fans.
Sometimes you think you see the
hero or the heroine really rlslSing his
or her life for thrilling effect. What
you have actually beheld Is another
substitute for the leading man or
woman-some daredevil without nerves
like Rodman Law, for example, who
can be hired to attempt any perilous
stunt.
Jumping from burning building is
another movie feat which is only
trick. The real people get only as far
as the window. Dummies do the
jumping and the falling. The two
films are placed together and little

| greatly because the business of rehearsal
is cut too short II needs elaboration
ana emphasis to prepare for the curtain.
| similarly the return OF the trunk sup
posed to contain the corpse, following on
the voluntary appearance OF the pseudo
murderer, ought to be most amusingly
elaborated into tremendous triumph for
the sleuth-until he opens up the lid.
The dialogue itself needs more bright
lines and possibly farceur like James
montgomery or Augustin McHugh to put
them, in. With them shouIu go few more
complications, especially in the second
act The introduction OF a real criminal
dropping In accidentally for purposes of
burglary-is a common but efficacious
trick. Seeing the detective take such a
one into his confidence as confrere
would add materially to the humor.
There is one admirable bit of SATIRE the
order to arrest everybody in neighborins
cafes who orders the sort of cocktail that
the supposed murderer imbibes. More of
this casual fun should be added. The
methods of certain well-known sleuths
might be travested by the introduction of
press agent for the present specimen.
And the Scientific Detective-there is all
too little of him now. That dictograph
clock should be added to by selenium
cells, microphones. fisheye lenses, triple
mirrors, moving picture recorders and all
that welter of mechanism which makes
Craig Kennedy as amusing as Arthur Il.
