MOVIE SCREEN DARK
FOR HALF OF FILM
Expert Further States That Each
Picture Is Seen Three Times
by Patrons.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 3.-Charles
Van Enper who has photographed
many film plays, has ascertained the
screen is dark nearly half the time a
picture is being shown, but the eye
of the camera Is SO fast the average
spectator never notices the darkness.
Not satisfied with this knowledge.
he has estimated that in Lady Win
dermeres Fan" the last photoplay he
filmed, 12o. 900 pictures" are thrown
on the screen and that each of these
is seen three times.
Sounds impossible" he asked.
We'll. here's how it is: There are IL
pictures on every foot Of film. The
photoplav is approximately 1900 feet
long. That's not 50 hard to lgure
out.
"One has to be a bit mechanically
inclined to understand why you see
each picture three times. In front of
the lens on the projection machine is
revolving disc. This disc is divided
into six parts. there being three black
sections through which the light is
allowed to travel to the screen.
by means Of an intricate syn
chronizing device this disc revolves
once each time one of the minute pic
lures stops before the opening. There
fore each picture is shown three times
before il passes on and the next takes
its place. OF course. all this happens
happens. anyway.
Darkness of the screen during
nearly half the time the play is being
shown is caused by the black sections
of the disc being smaller than the
solid portions

RAIL REPORT ERROR

TOXIC, February GP.-The rail

ment Railways of Japan yesterday
gave out figures correcting a recent
statement regarding purchase of
American rails. In an Associated
Press dispatch of December 2, 1925
it was stated only one small rail or.
der has been placed in the United
States since 1928 by Japan"
This mistake was due to an error
of an interpreter.
The rail department today stated
that 40 tons of rails were purcha sed
by the Japanese government in the
United States in 1924 and 140 tons
in 1925. These figures do not include
any rail imports by private interests
in Japan.
Figures of the United States De
partment of Commerce give the TO,
tai rail exports from this country TO
Japan during the first eleven months
of 1925 as 9,751 tons, and 33,943 tons
in 1924.
The figures include shipments of
