Two Cornell Graduates Plan to
Reveal Motion Pictures So
Realistically Characters Will
Seem to Step Off Screen.
FTER two years experiments

A FTER two years experimental
~ ton, Laurens Hammond. q
"A young Cornell graduate, has
perfected an electrical inventiSa
called the "Teleview," and IL is
now to be introduced as a theatri-
cal attraction at the Selwyn Thea
ter. in New York
The "Teleview" is an instru-
ment attached to each orchestra
chair and il synchronized In har-
mony with special projection ma
chimes so as to enable the specta-
tor to see nature in solid form, in
stead of pictures on a screen.
In other words, this ingenious
dvice introduces to the world of
science and amusement that which
we have been pleased to call ster-
eoscopic movies. Mr.. Hammond
and his assistant. William F. Cas-
sidy. also a Cornell man have 80
perfected the "TelevIew' that
there is every indication hey have
devised an entirely new form of
entertainment and one which
seems to predict a revolution in
motion pictures.
Every seat in the Selwyn will
be equipped with the ''Teleview"
instrument. hence II will be under
stood that a somewhat gigantic
task will have been accomplished
when the curtain rises to reveal
this latest achievement in inven-
ton.
The first production to be seen
by means of the 'Teleview" will
be a fanciful comedy called. M.
A. K. S." in which Grant Mitchell
will have the principal part. Mar
garet Irving. at present appearing
in the Music Box Revue" also

be made UP of number Of 'Tele-

life anew.

He had a moments wonder at the
effect his departure would have upon
the financial problem that had been
his fathers sole legacy to him. He
laughed a little as he thought of it.
But the idea that others also--having
no business relations with his father
might be interested in this western
journey Of his did not even occur
to him.
But the paths men take. seemingly,
with wholly different aims, crisscross
and become intertwined much more
than Bruce knew. Even as he lay in
his berth, the first sweet drifting Of
sleep upon him, he was the subject
Of a discussion In a far-distant noun
tain home; and sleep would not have
fallen so easily and sweetly if he
had heard it.
1t might have been q different world.
Only a glimpse Of it, illumined by the
moon, could be seen through the soiled
and beSmirched window pane; but
that was enough to tell the story.
There were no tall buildings. lighted
by a thousand electric lights, such
as Bruce could see through the win
dows of his bedroom at night. The
lights that could be discerned In this
strange, dark sky were largely I'M
familiar to Bruce, because Of the
smoke-clouds that had always hung
above the city where he lived. There
were just stars, but there were so
many of them that the mind was I'M
able to comprehend their number.
There was also a moon that cast G
little square Of light, like a fairy
tapestry, on the floor. 1t was not such
a moon as leers down red and strange
through the smoke Of cities. 1t was
vivid and quite white-the wilderness
moon that times the hunting hours
Of the forest creatures. But the patch
that 1T cast on the floor was Obscured
In a moment because the man who
had been musing In the big chair be-
side the empty fireplace had risen and
lighted a kerosene lamp.
The light prevented any further
scrutiny Of the moon and stars. And
what remained TO look at was not
nearly SO pleasing to the spirit. 1t
was a great, white-walled room that
would have been beautiful had 1t not
been for certain unfortunate attempts
to beautify 1t. There was a stone
fireplace. and certain massive, dust
covered chairs grouped about It. But
the eyes would have got to
these. They would have been held and
fascinated by the face and the form
Of the man who had just lighted the
lamp.
