Holiday Fun With Shadows for
Youngsters

BY q. NEEGT HALL

Every boy likes to give home en-:
tertainments, and probably the best
time of the yer is right now during
the holidays when grandmother and
grandfather have come to visit, and
an appreCiative audience is at hand.
There are so many things for boy
to do during this vacation. however.
that there is little time to prepare an
entertainment. so ! shall show you
how TO give shadow exhibition. as
this can be arranged in a short time.
1t requires only a few minutes to
get the knaCk of shadow making. and
after YOU have tried out the forms
in the accompanying illustrations you
will find it easy to devise others.
The shadows must be cast upon a
sheet, and the audience must be seat
ed on one side of this, and the opera
tor stand on the other side II IS best

light by which the shadows are made
can be confined To the screen. because
the room in which the audience are
seated must be dark by hanging a
dark cloth over the upper and lower
portions OF the doorway the area Of
the picture screen can b" reduced to
just tn" size necessary. and the Gov

placing the palms of the hands to-
gether, with thumbs up for ears, the
first fingers drawn in for the fore
head. and the little fingers dropped
for the lower jaw. These shadows
are a good example of how different
figures are produced by extending or
bending the fingers.
