lesson there was an empty homemade
box instead of movie camera. The
empty box, which was set upon three poles
and they believed that their movements
were being registered on a film negative.
"The director would command 'Camera!'
which is the signal for the man to begin
turning the crank to photograph the scene.
The operator would turn the handle OF
the empty camera. In front of the box
was a round hole, and the dupes imagined
that here was the lens which took the
picture.
''The director winked to the operator and
shouted Now camera Camera man, take
the picture and the operator began to
grind the crank of the empty box.
"A long rectangle was drawn in chalk
on the floor that indicated the stage. The
actors must not step outside that chalk
line because it was explained to them 1t

therefore they would be out of the picture
In the room were dozen or more would-be
actors and actresses and little children.
Before the picture began the director
put his pupils through drill What is q

that It is when the camera is very

And a pupil replied, 1t is to make pic

this operator who obeyed orders and
busily turned the crank Of the empty box
whenever he received an order from the
director.
"The movie school fraud is to be found
here and there In the big cities pretty
well all over the country. Some efforts
have been made in various places at vari-
Gus times to stamp out this insidious
fraud. These schools clean up more than
a million dollars year.
THE authorities In Kansas City, Cleve-
land, and in Atlanta, Georgia, have put q
ban on movie schools with some recent
convictions, according to newspaper ao
counts.
The authorities of all the big cities
ought to investigate and keep a sharp eye
