He had gained considerable fame az
the photographer Of children. He
was one of the first to adopt the
improved snapshot camera for
work With children. He would TAX.
g. commission to photograph, a child
ana then follow the child about for
tunity to make a picture Of II un-
observed. For this reason lie be
came famed for the natural poses
in his pictures. When the motion
picture became so popular he saw
An opportunity to enlarge his field
Of work and improve it. He con-
pictures Of children in short lengths
Of film at intervals during the year
and then putting strips thus made
together into one long film which
could be projected ON a screen or y
dead wall surface to show, the de
relopment of the child during the
year.
He worked out this idea by ac-
Cepting commissions TO make such
sets. He would make strip Of ten
or fifteen feet of film once each
month or every six weeks. having
charged q fee for the entire year.
In some instances he accepted con-
tracts to take pictures ut stated in
tervals OF certain children from In j..
fancy up to the time they would
start to school. or course. this was
dealing In futures, and none of hi.
contracts has yet expired-but the
idea seems excellent. He enlarged
the scope Of his work BY makf.(
as at Christmas time and on birth
days. The idea spread from London
to this country, and in New York
and Chicago photographers started
making motion picture portraits and
taking contracts for future work. :
1t has remained for Washington
photographer to develop this idea
into a brand-new form OF entertain
ment. Being a bright Joung mar.
he conceived the iden Of making mo
ton pictures Of dances. dinner par
ties and private entertainments. ard q,
then exhibiting the pictures in the
houses Of the guests. 1t Is not gen
orally known. but there are q num-
ber OF motion picture enthusiast
in this city who have regular motion
picture exhibitions in their homes
They secure reels Of film from the
big producers. invite their friends
for an evenings entertainment. and
give regular show nt home !i,-
stead of a theater party. 1t is
rather an expensive way OF enter
tanning. but it has become quite pop
nlar. Through the enterprise OF the
photographer who has been referred
to, these shows are sometimes oc-
cupied nowadays with pictures OF
entertainments that have been al
tended by the guests. and the people
who are witnessing the reeling off Of
the film have the unusual oppor-
tunity OF seeing themselves as
others see them"
The Christmas and New Yea
celebrations during the past two
weeks have been recorded in film in
a score or more Of Washinston

lures were made OF children's
parties. With the Christmas tree

about it. A number of dance pic
lures have been made and are beins
exhibited from time to time III the
homes OF the dancers. The new idea
Is spreading, and 1t is likely to
spread considerably further when
the people who would likely be in-
terested in it realize that it is not
as expensive Dastine as they
might think. q. VI.
