Just What IS The Double Exposure :?

When motion picture patrons see a man talking to himself on the screen many ask:
 How is it done?"
 The wiseacres answer that it is a double exposure Yes, but that is not enough.
 What is a double exposure?
 In the production of Du Maurier's Peter Ibbetson" at the Paramount eastern studio a record for double exposure was set, so far as can be learned.
 The average picture has less than a score of double. exposures and very Few photOplayS show more than a hundred scenes in this manner but in Peter Ibbetson" there are 39S such scenes.
 All three forms of double exposures are used to tell the dream story of Peter and 'tMimsey' split stage, the transparent exposure, and the Cb1ique dissolve.
 Brass Disk Is Used.
 Of these the first is the simplest. One half of the film in the camera is masked with a brass disk while the character to be double-exposed in position. When the required numbe other half is exposed with the ter reverses his position, the film is cover the exposed half of the f1lr. Then the scene is shot au over again. In this manner scenes where the same person is seen talking to himself are made.
 In the second method, where the characters appear as ghosts or transparent figures in a scene a. diff ferent process is used. The scene in which the characters are to appear is photographed in the usual man. ner.. If it is an exterior scene~a wood, for instance, in which the spectre is to appear-the film is ex-

Fast Work!

Sixty theatres in New York City and vicinity, including the Rialto and Strand, and all the first run Keith houses, on Saturday night, July 2, only a few hours after the memora- ble fight. showed the Pathe News Special on the Dempsey-Carpentie bout of the country. This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest accomplishments, of all times in news reel history.
 Twenty hours after the count of o had been recorded over Carpenter, the leading theatres of Chicago were also showing this special One nega- tive had been made by the Patha News cameramen for Chicago. Eff teen minutes after the knockout, a. fast automobile drove up to West Side Park, Jersey City, transferred the negative to a waiting aeroplane and in another few minutes it was on it's way to Cleveland Arriving there at S:45 that evening, the nega- tive was transferred to a fast train for Chicago, where it arrived at ex- actly 4:45 Sunday morning.
 Arrangements had been made ir Chicago for the printing of the necessary number of prints for the territory. Titles already had been wired and were ready for insertion in the special by the time the nega- tive had been developed.
