the machine should be operated
at 16 frames. For slow motion
shots set the control for a or
80 frames (if you have the
latter setting). To speed up
the action Con the screen) the
setting should be 8 frames.
There is a tendency among be.
ginners to resort to too frequent
use Of slow and fast motion and
this should be discouraged. AZ
ter a while too much Of this can
be very boring to viewers.
To make sure Of success from
the very beginning wait for .
bright, sunny day. OF course.
you can shoot good movies on
days when the sun isn't shining,
but that calls for more advanced
knowledge. so let's make sure
by having ideal conditions.
Use Front Lighting
Our next point (and re-
member this is strictly advice
for the beginner). have your
subjects placed so that the sun
is directly in front of them and
at your back. This will insure q
film where the faces will be
fully lighted. Later on. In an
other article, we will point out
that side and back lightings
will often improve the quality
OF your work. but again this calls
for somewhat advanced knowl-
edge Of lighting so we'll use the
front lighting to make sure your
first movies will be successful.
With your camera operating
at the 16-frame standard speed.
set the lens opening according
to the recommendation for the
film you are using. You will find
this on the data card. or In q
photo data book. Then. If your
camera is Of the fixed-focus
type, you are ready to shoot
film. If not, set the focus for
10 feet and you will be safe ut
that setting for almost all
scenes except those that are ex-
tremely close up. At first stay
away from these extreme close
ups for they usually require
great care in focus adjustment.
Make as many scenes as possi-
bic from a tripod for steadiness,
follow these directions closely
and we can almost guarantee
that your first movies will be
highly pleasing to you and your
family.

Eight Proscenium Boxes
1.-THE proscenium boxes on

an uninterrupted view Of It,, as

enriched with holdings and
carvings in delicate detail

arches of the proscenium, q

Of iron wrought in artistic
forms, supported upon columns
and beams of the same material.

with indirect radiation, the
radiators being so arranged
that they are supplied directly
with fresh air from outside.
'"The ventilation of the opera
house will be ample and very
complete; q series of flues at
intervals around the walls, un-
der the stage and at the
back of the auditorium, with
large steam pipes inclosed, to
thoroughly heat them. will open
upon each floor to receive the
vitiated air from the auditorium

Of these flues is equal to dis

tilation for 5000 people. The
whole system Of ventilation and
heating can be controlled from
the back Of the stage, and the
temperature Of the house and
rapidity Of ventilation are re-
ciprocally controllable, so either
can be decreased or augmented
as the condition of the house
may require.

structed Of the best materials
and in the most approved man
ner, no expense being spared to
make it one of the most sub

An interesting block that gave
way to public improvements,
and which was first cleared Of
the buildings thereon. is the one
bounded by Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets and E street and
Pennsylvania avenue. This
block, together with several to
the south. belonged to the
Government, and when the time
came to raze the old buildings.
some historic landmarks passed
forever from view.
One landmark in particular
was known to almost every the
ater-going person in Washing
ton, as Polls. at the northeast
corner Of Fifteenth and e streets
NV. with entrance on Penn
Sylvania avenue.
This building was erected as
an armory by the Washington
Light Infantry Corps, q military
organization that meant much in
Its day to the people Of WASH
ington, and probably partici-
pated in every noteworthy pa
rade along Pennsylvania avenue.
Names to Remember
At the time the cornerstone
OF the Armory was laid, on
April 20, 1884, the Washington
Light Infantry was composed of
as fine a body of representative
men as Washington had during
its history. William G. Moore,
who became Mayor and Super
intendent of Police in 1886, was
the lieutenant colonel in COM
mand. His staff officers in
cluded: Judge advocate, H.
Dingman; commisSory, L. Wood
bury; paymaster, j. T. Dyer;
quartermaster, George Breith-
barth; surgeon, H. E. Leach;
ordnance officer. E. G. Wheeler:
engineer, William j. Acker: in
Spector, William j. Kelly: as
sistant surgeon. r. M. McArdle:
adjutant. 1st 1t. William H.
Harrison; sergeant major.
Charles H. Ourand; quarter
master sergeant, Adrian M.
Jones.
Perhaps you will note some
familiar names as the four
companies were then consti-
tuted:
Company A-Captain, Will
liam N. Dalton, commanding:
first lieutenant. John G. Cowie:

Rozing Of Old Pennsylvania Avenue Landmarks

House, at Louisiana avenue and
Ninth street; the Theater Com
ique, at Eleventh and c streets,
and the Dime Museum, at 1106
D street. The Comique was
strictly q mans house, and the
Dime Musium was just about
what the name implies-more
Of a side-show than anything
else.
BY this you will see that there
were then in the city only two
theaters. the National and
Ford's Opera House, which
could be frequented with prop
riety by ladies and their escorts
and where q flrst-class perfor-
nance could be seen.
Because Of the need Of such a
building. pains and money were
not spared In It's erection, and
from the time the first spade
was sunk in the ground to the
completion Of the structure it
was. in every way, the achieve
ment Of Washington enterprise
and capital.
A description Of the building
published at the time follows:
Building Described
"The armory has a drillroom,
90x120, the walls and ceiling
handsomely paneled in wood.
This room has a gallery for
musicians and will be used for
balls and receptions. The
officers rooms open into the
drillroom and have a door COM
municating with yestibule of
entrance on e street. The locker
room and kitchen are situated in
the rear of the drillroom. The
principal entrances to the opera
house open into a vestibule,
24x90 feet; the floor Of en-
caustic tiling. laid upon brick
arches and iron beams, forming
thorough fireproof construc-
ton.
From this vestibule two
grand flights Of stone steps lead
to the upper floor. There is a
lobby on the orchestra floor, also
on the balcony floor, 24x60 feet
each. These do not lead direct
ly into the auditorium, but into
a foyer. IL feet wide. which has
doors opening on each aisle.
"The size of the opera house
can more readily be appreciated
by comparing it with the larg-
est opera houses in the world.
The auditorium of the Metro
politan. New York, measures IS
feet 8 inches by 95 feet 6 inches;
the Grand Opera House in Paris.
79x81 feet; while that of the
opera house at Washington is
75x90 feet. The stage is 90x51.
and rs from stage to ceiling,
giving ample accommodation
for putting on grand opera and
spectacular dramas-something
that Washington has not here
tofore enjoyed.
"On entering the auditorium
one is struck by the novel treat
ment Of the proscenium. The
abandonment Of the conven-
tionally elliptical shape of the
opening and the substitution Of
good CONSTITUTIONAL lines does
away with the necessity Of the
