/ SCIENCE SOLVES OLD
PHOTOPLAY PROBLEM

Here are glad tidings for movie
fans everywhere.
Pictures are on the threshold of q
new and startling era.
Scientists and inventors have been
experimenting along three separate
lines, with the result that motor
pictures are soon to blossom forth
in form that will afford entertain
ment superior to anything heretofore
conceived or attained.
The three inventions destined t.
bring this about are the televiev
films in natural colors and the
phonofilm. When these are success
fullx combined In single production
the motion picture will have reached
the zenith of perfection, infinitely
ahead of anything we see today.
Today. pictures are more or less
like, 1t is true; people walk
about, ride horseback, articulate
dumbly, etc; but in the teleview. ev-
erything appears as 1t is in real life
You behold, apparently, the living
breathing human being. not coun-
terfeit presentment Of him.
Natural scenery also bears the
resemblance to actually. A mountain
in the distance is very clearly located
miles beyond the objects in the fore
ground; II is not picture of a noun
tain photographed rom afar. In
teriors'' remind you of stage settings
in which the objects are presented in
their three dimensions of length
breadth and thickness. so that II
would seem as thought you had
an arm long enough-you could reach
forth and grasp the nearest chair or
table.
The mere picture effect thus van
ishes and is substituted (apparently)
by the things themselves, moving
or stationary, near or far, as the case
may be. Thus the spectator IS in the
same relative position of person az
a play except, CT course, that the
stage is infinitely larger
r. The second invention-the coloreo
film--has already been fairly well
demonstrated; but scientists claim
that theyshave now eliminated. seer-
tain Objectionable features, render
ing it, according to one observer. "un-
believably beautiful" Accordingly
when the true colors of nature are
added to the teleview the illusion will
be still more startling and complete
For istance. not only will you be-
hold a dense forest waving in a
strong wind, but will see every leaf
branch and tree IN its true proper
tions and hues. Just as in real life.
The third invention that will con-
tribute to this amazing renaissance
is the phonofilm, or the camera with
ears and a voice. When the picture
is taken with this apparatusit records
every sound. Then when the com
pleted film is projected up on the
screen these sounds are released
simultaneously. The actor address
each other precisely the same as in
the spoken drama, while all the fam
iliar noises of nature the soughing OF
the wind. the roar of the surf, the
rafting of a Ford. the footballs OF
the .aotors-are actually heard, not
merely implied or imagined.

WILLIAM DUNCAN TO
RETURN TO SERIALS

Persistent reports that William
Duncan Intends returning to the Sc
rial field are embodied in December
picture gossip of the coast Two
years ago. when Duncan was reap
ing fame as star of the chapter
drama, he suddenly left off with the
"continued-in- our next" features and
started making westerns under the
Vitagraph banner.
Duncan gave as his reason for
quitting the serial that he believed
the chapter play cycle was rounding
to point where the big returns
previously enjoyed might fall off, as
a matter of natural consequence.
vitagraph had profited handsomely
with Duncan in serials and his west
ems have met with the approval of
exhibitors. as is instanced in their
weekly comments.
Mr.. Duncan, however. declares that
he always figured upon a return to
the serial and is inclined to believe
that the time is not far distant when
they again viii prove extremely re-
munerative. At any event, he admits
that negotiations between himself
and various producers have been in
progress for period of several
weeks.

NIVERSARY OF OLD
YORK PLAY HOUSE.
BE CELEBRATED.

e approaching fortieth anniver-
safy of the Casino Theatre, New
York, which the Messrs. Lee and j.
]. Shu5ert are planning to celebrate
: at this famous institution. December
2s. recalls that upon two occasions
the existence of this theatre mas
been threatened by fire.
The most serious of the two at
tempts to burn the Casino occurred
on Saturday, February IL, 1905, the
year that the management OF the
Casino was taken over by the Messrs
Shubert.
Lillian Russell was playing at tho
Casino at that time in Lady Teazle."
The production was in the last week
OF its engagement and plans were be-
ing made for revival of the operetta
"F'lorodora," which played its origin
al engagement at the Casino in 1900,
The fire partly destroyed the inter-
Tor of the theatre. however, and for
the balance of the season the house
was undergoing extensive repairs,
the cost of which totaled more than
$4,000.
Rudolph Aronson, in his book
Theatrical and Musical, Memoirs .
mentions an attempt to set fire to the
Casino in 1888, when the operetta
.'Nadjy" was the attraction. One OF
the stage mechanics had been notified
that his services would not be re-
CURED after a certain night. In an
effort to reinstate himself in Mr..
Aronsoa's good graces he arranged to
start a fire back stage which could
be extinguished by himself in time to
save the theatre, thereby gaining
the favor of the management and
perhaps his reinstatement. The blaze
was discovered, ahowever, before the
discharged mechanic intended t
should he, and his attempt at heroism
was of no avail.
Had the. fire gotten. under head
way there might have. been a. Sc
rious catastrophe, as the performafce
was only half over and the theatre
wasserowded. The MECHANIC fled, but

CHRISTIE TALKS ON
FUTURE OF COMEDIES

The fact that Al Christie has in
Comedy plant 70 per cent in the last
year, despite the so-ca1led depres-
sions only goes to show that what
he has to say about the future of
the comedy photoplays is worth list
ening to.
Mr.. Christie has long ago
abandoned the bathing beauty idea
and thrown the custard pies In the
ash can. for keeps, he says. He never
has been an advocate Of slapstick
comedies. His type of production has
been and is what might be classed
as "highbrow comedies"
People like to see pictures that
are not ggered-humorous situa-
lions that could happen to you or
me. They want to see people on the
screen as they are in real life.
The comedies of yesterday. with
the funny mustaches and makeups
haven't the appeal they had be-
because you don't see that kind of
people in life. They only appear in
cartoons and caricatures. True, they
were funny. but after you see them
you question the reason for all the
foolishness. They don't stick with
you. There isn't any reason for the
stories.
II believe that burlesquing the
important and popular photodramas
Of the day is something that APP
peals to the picture going public.
Take Cold Feet. for instance, a
buriesque on mounted police sub
jects. The comedy went over big
In it we obtained some beautiful ef-
fects and showed some scenery that
did not hurt the eye to look at.
We took a company of twenty-five
people on a 1500-mile railroad ride
to get what we wanted Other
comedies that we have made along
the same lines have been successes.
Each has carried a certain amount
of scenic value that is good to
know about"
