Trick Photography
Used To Make Large
Portion OF Movies

: The movie public has many illu-
sions that are carefully created by
trick photography and the versa
tility of engineers. =
These secrets of the trade con-
serve millions Of dollars annually
in the budgets of producers. The
directors point out, however, that
they are not evolved to deceive the
theatre-goer, nor primarily with the
idea of saving money, but often
necessary because it would be I'M
possible to stage the actual scene
demanded in the script.
In the Photographic tricks, the
most indispensable perhaps, is the
"glass ceiling" illusion. This is a
device of painted glass slightly
above the camera lens. On the
sheet of glass, ceiling, domes or
roofs are painted to correspond
with the actual set.
This glass work is necessary be-
cause of the lighting demanded by
the camera. The roofs or upper
parts of the set are not construct
ed Instead, strong food lights are
placed there.
Wrecks of ocean liners are en-
acted in a small tank in the stu
dio. Howling gales are provided
by mechanical wind machines. The
ocean" is lashed to fury by pad
dies, and the toy liner, perhaps ten
inches in length, is tossed about on
the waves by wires in the hands OF
studio assistants.
If the story calls for an explos-
ion to sink the boat, dynamite
cap aboard is exploded at the prop
er time and the miniature craft
sinks beneath the waves with ex-
citing realism.
A recent example of miniature
illusion was enacted in a picture
of monstrous prehistoric beasts.
On the screen they appeared to
weigh tons, and moved with life
like ease. Before the camera they
were models eighteen inches high,
composed of rubber and papier-
Mache, their movements manipulat-
ed by invisible wires.
When the movie spectator sees
actors struggling perilously near
the brink of a precipiece or on the
cornices of a tall building he may
be witnessing a scene "shot" in
two different places. The fight
may have taken place on the stu
dio floor, and the cameraman may
have later photographed the precl-
niece or roof corner on the same
strip of film.
Fogs are formed in the studio by
a huge atomizer, which feeds cold
vapor on the scene through per-
forated pipes concealed about the
set.
Adept with high explosives, the
T.. engineers set a blast to wreck
dam. releasing a rush of logs and
water to destroy a populated valley.
Or they burn an actress at the
stake with so little harm that she
NAV be the belle of a party the
next evening.
One engineer has patented a pow
der that burns furiously on the
furnishings of a luxurious apart
ment. When the cranking stops,
the furniture is found unharmed
and is moved to the next social
set.
Even Hollywood scarcely knows
these technical men whose exploits
make "the filming of the 1mpos-
sible."

WORLD HISTORY IN THE MAKING

Nineteen-twenty-four will go down as an epoch
making year in the world history because during that
year the Dawes plan for the settlement of the World
War reparations was prepared and adopted.
lnasmuch three unofficial American citizens
have been given credit for seeing the Dawes plan
through to successful conclusion it fitting trb-
ute to the work of the Dawes committee that testi-
monlal dinner was given December IL at the Wal
dorf Astoria hotel by the business of New York.
to Owen D. Young the New York member of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Young's remarks at this dinner, giving
credit to all those who helped in the remarkable work
of drawing up the Dawes plan, except himself, are
typical of the broad-mnded American spirit which
evolved plan fair to all nations that imposs
ible for any country to reject it.
The successful adoption of the Dawes plan was
due largely to the guiding hand of Mr.. Young who by
his assuming manner and wise counsel made possible
meeting of minds among various factions which
necessary to reconcile The speech made by Mr. Young
at this dinner will probably be the shortest and most
concise statement regarding the Dawes plan that will
be recorded in history.
AS its successful operation much to
world peace and to future prosperity of this nation
tno business being too small to profit by it it pity
that every man and woman cannot secure copy to
read so that all may understand and appreciate his
tory in the making. /

A WASTEEUL INDUSTRY

Secretary of the Interior Work considers oil the
greatest problem facing this country. x ~

large wells drilled, the petroleum supply of
the United States will be gone in IL years + q.
He points out the lavish production of the presesi
than million barrels day. and the rrespons-
ibe, unregulated competition that causes this drain
Whenever field is brought in the owners rush
to drill it up. Oil is fugitive. Each we'll takes oil FROM
the line, and lease if not too large can be
drained by wells all around it. This is of the
for the wild and costly drilling which up the
oil fast" The government itself bear sad teS
mony to that fact
The problem suggests the secretary, is to find
way to stop the wastefu drilling and keep the oil in
the ground until is needed That would be safer and
cheaper than storage above ground. Craftsmanship at
Washington might well concern itself seriously
with that practical problem than with others
