quirer to Capt. Bates. and Capt. Bates
suggested that he call UP one OF the
larger posts, Fort Totten or Fort Jay.
These posts reported yesterday that no
one had spoken to them about a firing
squad on Saturday. 1t was IL A. M. on
Saturday that Col. Whittlesey left for
Cuba. His friends assume that some
one of his associates in the work for
disabled soldiers had, in calling Fort
Tilden, used his name, not knowing he
had gone away.
The young woman with whom Col
Whi1lesey attended the theatre Friday
night, the night before he sailed. was a
friend of Mr.. and Mrs. Pruyn, it was
learned. He said nothing unusual to her
and did not mention his intention to sail.

ment who was the first to actually produce motion photographs This was Edward Muybridge, who with tie aid of twenty-fOur cameras set up in a row of threads attached to the shutters and stretched from the shut ters across a race track, effected a picture of a horse in motion, and from that time, continued his exper- iments in motion photography with increasing success. MT. Lubschez, commenting on Muybridge, quotes a commentator who gives the English man full credit for developing mo- ton photographs, and says:
 "If by motion photographs are meant photographs analysing motion, of moving pictures there was on in ventor and Muybridge's work, to which he dictated many years of his life, is only a step in the right direc- tion-''
 It is a far cry. indeed, from Muy- bridges twenty-four cameras in a row to the equipment of a motion picture studio of today. How all the inventors of thraumotropes and Phenakistoscopes and any number or other scopes would marvel if from the spirit world they wandered back here and visited the Goldwyn studios in Culver City, California, the larg- est in the world? And saw the mar aphernaia, replete with infinite de- tail, which is utilized today to make pictures in action!

The way some people are always talking about ''the future or the mo tion picture'' would lead one almost to believe that the motion picture IS
 But it isn't. The motion picture, like some people whom we all know has-ahem-a past In 1act' one writer Ben J. Iubschez,. in his ''The Story of the Motion Picture" traces the beginning of the new medium to 65 B. C. and if we accept that, then it is going to be pretty hard to keep on calling the movies an infant m 5ustrv'' Most infants born in 65 B. c. have ceased to be even Oldest Residents
 .sThe fundamental ldea underlying the illusion of motion in pictures Is persistence of vision, simply the fact that the image of an object, or the sensation of seeing an object remains Or persists for a fraction Of a second after the object is removed" writes MT. Lubschez in his lucid history of the movies, and continues:
 Movies Before Christ!
 This may be demonstrated by everyday phenomena The blades of an electric fan appear as a com plete disc. when in motion. A rock, or similar object, whirled at the end of a string, will appear as a circle Why? Because the image of the fan blade or rock in each successive position persists while the fan-blade
 
 the result being a blending of sue cessive images into one image, a cir cle."
 And, tracing the perception of this concept through which pictures are given motion, the writer notes that "the phenomenon of persistence : of vision was commented on by Lu- cretrius in 65 B. e."
 Nevertheless, it was not until 1925 that the concept was utilized to blend pictures into motion, and then in a rudimentary way. A Dr. Finton in vented the 'tThaumatrope," a half penny toy which, with the aid of a bit of string through the center Of a card, showed a bird apparently enter ing a cage. From that time onward other devices with formidable names made their appearance. There was the "Phenakistoscope," (fancy saying g Were going to the PhenakiStoscope this evening!') the ''Stroboscope,' 9 the Wheel of Life.'' the "'Zoetrope,' '' the ''Kinematoscope," and many others, most of them landmarks along the road toward the movie of today.

One date and only one stands out when I think over my career. That date is June 1. 1910 That day was as lucky for Eddie Lyons and me, as a black cat sitting on horse shoe. It was on June 1, 1910 that Fate gave us the push that sent us off on our co-starring career as screen jest CTS.
 On June |, 1910 I was playing in San Francisco in '-The Girl in the Kimona," a William Ziegfield musi- cal comedy. After the closing per formance I discovered the price of railroad ticket in my pocket This was quite a shock to me so I decided to go to the film city and watch them make flicker pictures" When I arrived I went to the NeStor studios That settles it.
