Ne,O Photograth;c Effect

A PRONOUNCED advance in screen
photography is said to be dis
played by Douglas Fairbanks in
Robin Hood This production, as
reported from the opening perform
ances in New York, Chicago and Los
Angeles. presented camera features
never before achieved.
Arthur Edeson. chief camera man,
is credited with real genius for trans
ferring to the film a deep background
atmosphere in interior views. by
which he enhances the sense of mys-
terry and vast spaces of the unusually
spacious sets. In the exteriors the
hitherto unmanageable distance of
the background has been knit artisti-
cally to the foreground by new de-
vices which involve an opposite
manipulation Of camera technique to
that employed for interiors.
The widest difference noted as COM
pared with other productions Is, as
10 photoplay, that each shot Is In it
self a work Of art. There Is no such
thing as an occasional artistic shot
with numerous ordinary views sand
wfched in between.
