 Camera

Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich of Pom- fret appeared in moving pictures al the Bradley theatre Saturday morning. If the event had been properly advertised the theatre would have sure hung out the S. k. O. sign. As 1t happened il was d private exhibition and the Pa triot representative considers himself fortunate in being in on it.
 The Admiral has no thoughts of en. tering the movie ranks, but fl any sa- gscious manager had been al the Brad ley Saturday morning he would have hao an opportunity to refuse an offer after the thirty feet of film had been run of.
 We do not dare to attempt name for the picture although many were brought to mind. The Admiral being the only male in evidence he must be the hero but just where to place the leading lady is problem. Mrs. Alex ander Black being the first to appear perhaps she deserves that honor. How- ever we find from obse rvanee that our first duty is to chronicle the cast.
 Those in the picture were Admiral Goodrich, his two daughters, Mrs. C. T. Davis, wife of Captain Davis of the English army, and Mrs, Gladys c. Belknap, whose engagement to John Clarke Brennon of New York was re- gently announced, and Mrs. Alexander Black, wife of the well known New York journalist.
 The picture was staged and photo graphed by Alexander Black person. ally.
 The scene is the Admiralis summer home at Pomfret and the ,pieture is in two parts. As the first part opens the Admiral is seen leaving the house by the vine covered porch. He is wearing Palm Beach suit panama hat and happy smile. As he reaches the spa cious lawn the panama comes oil In sweeping graceful curve tthe smile remainsl and with hand outstretched he goes to greet Mrs. Black who steps into the picture at the right. A hand shake as natural as though soing made after long voyage is the next action and then the other ladies step before the camera and after proper greeting all walk out Of lens shot, the Admiral meanw hile engaged in animated con- versation, or perhaps he is telling one of his famous stories to the ladies.
 A movie critic wodld have just one criticism of this first part. Just be fore getting out of range the Admiral cannot overcome that uncomfortable desire, which denotes the amature, and gives a sly glance at the camera man. This is considered lack of technique in the profession.
 The second scene shows the whole company just rounding the corner of the sun parlor of the Admiral's beau tiful home. They walk four abreast across the spacious lawn, the Admiral hat in hand and still wearing the Palm Beach suit and the happy smile. The ladies look quite as if they were enjoying the story. Mrs. Black is car. rying a closed fan. One of the daugh- ters carries what appears to be wrap of some kind while the other carries her hands free. The ladies are all gowned in white, as is the Admiral, and all look as if they were enjoying the experience immensly.
 The picture was shown through the courtesy of Manager Hyde Smith and among the audience were noted the members of the cast, Robert Harris and MT. Brennon, Mrs.' BeIknap's fiance, in fact none other were there to be noticed aside from the theatre manager employees and PATRIOT repr sentative.
 The picture was repeated to encore.  R.z..l4 oe Do..hf.cau Caaracac HaId
