The Eyes at Fault

''' FsNtS ht Fduit
In fact George T. Hills. OF Youngs-
town, Ohio, writing in the Optical
Journal and Review of optometry
says; With the aictupe Slows at
the standard that they are kept at
most places, the care in seating.
mechanism, screen and films and the
science of photography in its pres
ent state, we find the eye more often
in fault man the pictures"
Furthermore he says that II pic
ture under favorable conditions has
caused annoyance fatigue or pain,
the show has called attention to pre-
existing ocular defects that have
heretofore passed unnoticed" And
he adds that the majority who COM
plain of discomfort really have defec-
tive vision Of which they had been
unaware.
Evil in Gripping Pictures
II all patrons had been in consul
tation with this eye specialist. exhib-
itors might lose business by advertis-
ing pictures as gripping for he points
out that focusing the eye sharply is
firing to them. Such focusing is oc-
casioned by viewing pictures in whic
interest is intense.
In discussing the effect Of moving
pictures on the eyes he shows that
the physical. mental or nervous
makeup OF the person may cause a
condition that will interfere with the
enjoyment OF a show but may be only
a sign that the individual should con-
suit an oculist or optometrist.
Comfort "A big Factor
Among the conditions which would
contribute to eye annoyance are sew
eral that could be remedied by the
manager. and these conditions are
seldom found in a progressive house.
Comfort is big factor. Comfort as
provided by proper seating which al
lows the spectator to relax and by
ventilation that permits normal
breathing and keeps the blood cir
culating normally. The illumination
too is important, poorly placed wall
or ceiling lights may contribute no
little discomfort.
with the present standard Of pro-
lection and films. the average thea
tire has hut few things to guard
against. Poor projection machinery
or scratched films are cited as real
~ injurious. II the spectator has
any defect Of vision the Pickering
film is declared to be distinctly harm
full And such a film is so pronounc-
ed annoying to persons with normal
eyes. The proper recommendation
in this case is that the individual
hunt up a better picture show.

have sense enough to take it.
He hopes the wolves: mayhap be-
side our sick bed, where he has pin

All of us, occasionally, reach the
! heights, and find peace and silence
there, if only we are willing to stop

But most of US, having sidestepped
the wolves. and having reached glade
