Another New Process

The "Newslaffs" will be produced
by a new cartoon Photographic process
on which Nolan has been working for
the past year. and which has now been
perfected, it Is thought.
Heretofore it has been necessary in
photographing animated cartoons TO
either oyerlay the scenic backgrounds
with transparent celluloids upon
which the characters in action have
been drawn. or lay celluloid back
grounds over paper upon which the
characters in action have been drawn.

results Of the modern study of physi-
