' '»' '• %'^y R,.: J's. >"! , ;Tci j v6u peTBCTIB IB the United States now daily at­ tending motion picture theaterg, this form of entertainment can truly be termed the universal amusement. The films consti­ tute the programs of more than twenty thousand theaters in this country attended by 11,000,- 000 people daily, and 1Mb great army of pleasure-seekers does not represent any one, but every class of Ameri­ can citizens--old and young, rich and poor, the highbrows and the untutored. The gigantic amusement purveying organiiar tions require the Investment of more than a bil­ lion dollars in studios and factories in this "coun­ try alono, and fully one-third of that amount is expended annually for the making of films. More than 65 per cent of the motion pictures of the "world are produced in United States, and of these 80 per cent are made in and about Los Angeles, now known as the photoplay stage of tho world. i But of matters con­ nected with the mo­ tion picture Industry none is more sensa­ tional than the fact that the present-day Bystem of making, d i s t r i b u t i n g a n d showing the films has been established and developed to a state of near perfection In & period of less than ten years. Up to 1905 the film entertain­ ment was but a nov­ elty, there were but a few places where s u b j e c t s c o u l d b e rented, and the num­ ber of theaters show­ ing motion pictures exclusively eouM almost be counted on your fingers. Invention of motion pictures can partially M attributed to a California incident. Two race horse men argued as to whether a horse, while running had more than two feet on the ground at any time. To prove this, 24 threads were stretched across the track, and the end of each attached to a separate camera. A horse ran down the stretch breaking each thread separately and exposing 24 photographic plates. One of the men took copies of the photographs to Europe where they caused numerous experiments. Final­ ly the task of making motion pictures was given up because no flexible substitute for glass could be found. Tears later a New Jersey minister, trying to discover a way of making nonbreakable stereop- tlcon slides for use in his Sunday school, made the discovery that celluloid was suitable. The . substitute was immediately employed by a photo­ graph supply manufacturer, which enabled Thomas Edison to perfect his kinetoscope, or peep-hole machine, first shown at Columbian ex­ position, Chicago, In 1893. Forty feet of ribbon film, with continuity of action rolled past the lens In a hole in a cabinet with an intermittent move­ ment that retained each picture before the peep­ hole twice as long as it required to move the pic­ ture to this spot. Back of the film was an elec­ tric light, and directly in front of the lens a small hole through which the people could peep for the sum of five cents. The film had sprocket holes in the margin on one side and a corresponding sprocket was placed on the rollers. This device served as an idea for Robert W. Paul of London, the firm of Lumiere & Sons of Paris and a man named Grey of New York city. Simultaneously these men thought of attaching the film to a stereopticon lamp and projecting the picture on to a screen, and began working out machines which would do this properly. The first projected motion picture in America was that of Grey's eidoloscope in a basement store­ room In New York city in 1895. Paul perfected his projecting machine in March. 1896, and Lumiere In 1897. At a later date, William Ken­ nedy Laury Dixon, formerly witji Paul, now em­ ployed by Thomas Edison, perfected the EdlBon kinetoscope. This device was a combination of the "peep-hole" invention, with sprockets on each side of the film Introduced by Lumiere, a more accurate intermittent movement for the film car­ riage, and a powerful lamp perfected by Thomas Edison. Other machines appeared in America about the same time, but later patent rights were all merged with that of the Edison. The projec­ tion machines were crude and it has required much time and mechanical ingenuity to bring them to the state of perfection. With machines made, a still greater problem of securing new interesting subjects confronted the showmen who took up the novelty. There being no completed motion pictures for sal?, it was necessary for each exhibitor to make all his own subjects. No one thought of making pic-. tures of plays. Instead, they caught finishes of races, scenes in prize fights, and topical events of a sensational nature. About this time a Kansas City operator of these machines, learning of the projecting machine, made plans for a concession at the Buffalo Pan- American exposition, which consisted of a rail­ way illusion made possible by rocking the coach while pictures were projected on a screen in one end of the ear, Later this was exhibited throughout the country in a specially constructed railroad coach, and the name, "Hale's Tour of the World," became famous. The greatest Btep of the industry following the perfection of projectors, films and cameras was made simultaneously by Miles Brothers of New York and Eugene Klelne of Chicago. They established film markets or exchanges, where negatives were bought and prints sold or rented. This system served to solve the problem of dis­ tribution, by renting films to exhibitors, for this method is successfully used 'today throughout the world. The exchange system assured a permanent fl|xxi QPj&rjUR JCglfZ JSQIOM&PW M3&C supply to exhibitors and storerooms were con­ verted into theaters in all parts of the country. In less than two years more than ten thousand picture theaters were opened in the United States. The number in New York city alone to­ taled more than 1,200 January 1, 1907, and In Chicago there were 800 of a mushroom growth. Many motion picture producing plants were es­ tablished in many cities, and the film supply proved abundant for the rapidly Increasing num­ ber of theaters. But th^re was no system to the production, the making of prints, preparing ad­ vertising matter for exhibitors, or giving heed to what is today considered the most Important phase of the business--that of arranging a well- balanced program. Manufacturers saw the. necessity of not only making the subjects, but also maintaining their own system of exchanges for the purpose of safe­ guarding their own interests by controlling the films, and merged their interests in releasing companies. Now there are no less than ten cor­ porations composed of owners of producing com­ panies that'have national releasing systems, with exchanges in all principal cities. These are capi­ talized in the millions and one is reputed to have made 1.600 per cent profit, while on the other hand others have operated continuously at a loss. With the formation of big releasing com­ panies and the general improvement of conditions of the industry, with regard to all phases, tho most important to the ten millions of people of the United States who daily witness the show­ ing of motion pictures Is the great change for the betterment of production, and the realization by the manufacturers of the possibilities of photo­ plays In the-standardization of the film the celluloid strip was gradually reduced in size from one hav­ ing a picture two inches wide and one and one- half inches deep, to uniform size of picture, three- fourths of an inch deep by one inch In width. There are sixteen separate pictures to each lineal foot of film, or 16,000 to a reel of 1,000 feet, which, when properly projected, is "run off" 0in eighteen minutes. Few motion picture lovers know that every minute approximately one thou­ sand separate pictures are projected on the screen, each one separated from the adjoining one by a black line of the thickness of an aver­ age calling card. Still stranger, it may seem, is the fact that about one-fourth of the time the pictures are hidden from view of the audience and the screen Is black. This is caused by a revolving fan wheel or shutter passing in front of the projecting lens each time the film is advanced from one picture to another by the intermittent sprocket move­ ment. A thousand feet of film which passes through the projecting machine is stationary three-fourths of the eighteen minutes required in projecting it. and in action but approximately four and a half minutes. This prevents blurring of the pictures and makes each individual picture or "frame" Bharp from point of focus. The pic­ tures are magnified from two to four hundred times their actual size by the projection, accord­ ing to the Bize of the screen, distance from the lens and the lens itself. The making of motion pictures Is most Interest­ ing, and all studios are visited dally by hundreds. At a few visitors are permitted, but at the ma­ jority a "No Admittance' sign hangs over the entrance and no amount of talk or money will get the stranger past the gates. The studio In reality* consists of an open-air platform, one In­ closed entirely by glass, or a hall-like building with movable electric lights of such candle power as will make it light as day. In all producing plants now the story for the photoplay is flnt written. From this is the scenario, which briefly outlines every scene, describes the settings and action of the players. When it is considered that each reel of pictures requires from fifty to seventy-five scenes, and many of the photoplays of today consist of as many as five, six and seven reels, while the larger ones, such as "The Spoilers," consisted of nine reels, "Les Mlserables" eight. "Cabiria" of twelve, and the largest photoplay yet made, "The ^ commircTZ ̂ ticSZTttirgDUFZICATJM? JWrJZfMvrmr&tmv Birth of a Nation," adapted from the historical novel, "The Clansman," of thir­ teen and one-half reels, one realizes the thousands of details that must be con­ sidered in writing the scenario, arrangement of sets or scenes, and in the making of the picture. Receiving the scenario, the director and players read the story and re­ hearsals of all scenes are held to give the players a keen insight into their re­ spective parts. There are two kindB of Bcenes in all photoplays; one is termed "interiors," comprising those that can be made at the studio and represent indoor scenes, and the other "exteriors." those that represent out-of- door sittings. In practical­ ly all plays of present days the exteriors are made at rented homes, public build­ ings, beaches, in mountains, or at industrial plants, as the story may demand. When It is Impossible to find i'such scenes as are needed they are designed and built to fit the require­ ments of the photoplay. In the case of filming "Damon and Pythias" amphithea­ ters and replicas of build­ ings in ancient Byracuse were constructed; for "The Rosary" an entire Irish village, with dwellings, churches, public and business build­ ings of early nineteenth century type were built, and for almost every play special buildings are erected. In some Instances these have cost as much as $5,000 or more, and were used only in one or two hundred feet of film. The scenes of a photoplay are not taken In sequence, but according to convenience. At the studios from one to ten, or even fifteen, companies may be making scenes for different subjects all at one time, according to size of the stage and the size of settings in use. At the largest producing plant in the world, twenty to twenty-four companies of players are constantly at work. The raw film 1b made In strips four hundred feet In length, wound on spools. After being ex­ posed they are sent to laboratories, where they are developed. The negative film is next threaded Into a print­ ing machine and an unexposed positive film Is placed next to It but on the opposite side from an electric lsmp. This machine operates auto­ matically and "prints" the positive from the negative at the rate of several thousand feet per hour. A motion picture studio is a veritable curiosity shop. In the wardrobe are to be found costumes of all ages and sizes, representing a great in­ vestment. The "property" room contains almost any­ thing that can be thought of. The pay rolls of the manufacturing companies „ range from $1,000 to $25,000 weekly where twenty or more companies are busy, the amounts vary­ ing according to number of producing companies, the class of professionals employed and quality of subjects made. In addition to this greit ex­ penditure totaling more than a quarter of a bil­ lion dollars a year for all companies in the United States, must be added cost of film, studio equip­ ment and a hundred and one little Items of ex­ pense that come up in the making of every pic­ ture. This vag| amount constitutes the lion's share of production costs for motion pictures of the world, or 65 per cent. The industry of the United States is centered at Los Angeles. Producers have found there are more sunshiny picture-making days in this vi­ cinity than in any other part of the world, and. furthermore, any kind of scenery can be found within a radius of fifty miles of this southern Cal­ ifornia city. Mountains, sea, desert, tropical and frigid zones, metropolitan, village or country scenes are to be had by a short automobile rliie. In addition to the pictures made at studioB there are hundreds of camera men employed or working independently traveling In all parts of the world securing travelogues or scenic pictures, and topical BceneB of incidents that are used to ma Ire up what are termed "Weeklies." It Is es­ timated that there are more than one hundred now with the various armies of the natiotB at war in Europe and scarcely a week passes that some traveling film makers do not market pic- tores depicting life and conditions In some re­ mote part of the globe. The principal educators of today have come to realize the Importance of the motion picture for use in schools and colleges, and the time is not far distant when a projecting machine will be an Important part of the equipment of our schools, the universities and many schools of the larger cities now having adopted this means of teach­ ing. Motion pictures, fifteen years ago a novelty, ten years ago a feature added to vaudeville pro­ grams and termed "chasers" by the theater man­ agers because they constituted the last number of the entertainment, usually causing people to leave, now serve as amusement to the greatest number of people. They have replaced, and the better subjects now command as high admission prices as comedy, drama and musical shows of the speaking stage in a majority of the best thea­ ters of tjie large cities, and by their universal i>opularity have become known as the American amusement •M HAVE TO SAMPLE THE BEDS Nitrate Industry in Chile Would Seem to Be Something Resembling Oame df Chance. " • /. ' .• ^; «•- Ore*t as the nitrate industry of CTiIle is, the ore beds themselves are seldom of vast size, though they Rpread over large areas. Occasionally the ore Is found within a foot or two of the surface, and at other times it is lar or systematic in the occurrence of the profitable nitrate-bearing material, so that each small area must be exam­ ined and worked with little relation to other deposits. Contracts are let to the miners, who have to blast the ground and sort and cord up the ore. Other contractors load and transport the material. Thus it is, since all are paid on a basis of the value of the material, that a contractor may run into lean ground and abandon that particular working. Bel cided upon it is necessary to sample it thoroughly, and the question always arises as to how thoroughly the sam­ pling is to be .done--that is, how close together the sample pits shall be dug. As these holes are dug by hand the cost is rather high, so that the success of the sampling depends largely on the good judgment of the man in charge of the field work. Of late air drills have been tried for the sampling and also for the breaking of the ground in mining. When the work is done bj fca&4» tfce ha^ Me oade large though to contain a good charge of black, homemade powder near the bottom of the hole. When air drills are used, it is necessary to spring the holes first, after which the ground Is loosened with powder or low-power dynamite. The idea is merely to break the ground enough so that the nitrate ore can be dug out by the workmen, but not enough to pulverize the mate­ rial. As the ore Is easily broken with hammers, the larger the pieces result­ ing from the blast, thte loss the loss 1A SONS SPARROW AN OPTIMIST Cheery Bird, Permanent Resident, Asks Little for Services, Which Are Valuable. l*»e song sparrow, cheery-voiced forerunner of spring, is the subject of an article by Miss Harriet E. Bancroft, which appears in the Ohio Arbor and Bird Day Manual, Issued by the state department of public instruction for use, in the schools. In telling about the song sparrow Miss Bancroft says: "There are so m^ny different kinds of small, sober,-hued birds, which look alike, and yet are not alike, that you wonder how you aro to distinguish this one from the others. Each bird has his recognition mark and song spar row's is the spot In the middle of hla speckled breast; and while in color he is of the earth, earthy, and bears upon his breast a spot, you must not think that these are the outward signs of an inward blemish, because he hasn't any. "There is great variation in the hab­ its of different sparrows with respect to migration. - The tree sparrow is with us only In winter, the field spar* row is a summer bird, the white- crowned migrant; that is, he pays us a short visit in the spring and again in the fall, while on his way to more re­ mote regions; but song sparrow is a permanent resident in nearly all parts of the state. He shares with us the Btorms as well as the sunshine of the rounded year. "His cone-shaped bill tells you that he is a seed-eating bird and the weeds yield him a plentiful supply of them. He also eats slugs and worms and ground-inhabiting insects when they are to be had, and his choice of diet makes him a valuable assistant to the farmer. He helps him in his warfare on troublesome weeds and harmful In* sects. "It is not too much to say that who­ ever or whatever helps the farmer to grow better crops, helps the whole world aloug; but song sparrow's serv­ ices do not stop here; his finest is that which he renders to our weary spirits when he cheers them with his song. For all the help he gives he asks nothing in return but the privilege of living out his little life unmolested. "It Is said that he and {lis mate will raise three and even four broods in a season, If the weaoels, the red squir­ rels, the cats, the crows, the hawks, the blacksnakes pnd other ill-disposed creatures do not harry their lowly nest, which distressing occurrence is all too frequent." Water for an One of the numberless task* of the general Btaff of a great army Is to pro­ vide water for the soldier1* and the horses. The Scientific American de­ scribes some of the methods em­ ployed. Only running water, is used. In the German army the upstream water is used for drinking, and the downstream water for watering the horses and for bathing. Suitable signs notify the men which water they may safely drink and which they may use only for bathing. In shallow or narrow streams basins are dug or small dams built, In order to form reservoirs of sufficient size. Stepping- stones are put down BO that no one need walk through the water, and the banks are shored up with boards to keep them from crumbling into the water. Basins are dug at which to water the horses: when troughs have to be used, they are supported on posts and filled by means of pumps. If water lies at a reasonable depth from the surface--that is, not more than twenty feet--pipes are driven that, according to their size, deliver from four to twenty-five gallons of water a minute. If the water lies very near the surface, a hole is dugk and a cask, the bottom of which has been knocked out, is put into the hole to hold the sides in place and to pro­ tect the water from dirt. If the wa­ ter IleB at a greater depth, box sec­ tions are driven In, one on top of an* other, to the required depth. Modernizing the Roundup*- Each year seems to give the auto­ mobile a new hold on life, says the Wall Street Journal. The Var brought it to the forefront in a new field. The soldier of the present day seldom makes long forced marches like Sher­ man's march to the sea. He travels by motor car. As a result, the automo­ bile casualty list is tremendous; tho average life of a car in the battle line is estimated at 30 days. But it is not only the war zone that has lost part of its plcturesqueness through the use of the automobile. The latter has begun to rob the annual cattle round­ up of some of its thrills by replacing the horse. This year has seen the ubiquitous car with a cowboy at its wheel on our western prairies discour­ aging the cattle from attempts to es­ cape from the ever narrowing circle in the roundup. Many a steer which has given a cow liorse a run must feel dis concerted when it bucks uj> against the-four-wheeled steed. im: ftfre the min M feet 4m§. ncthiac atel can be de-. -- --^ ' : ' ;.-v.
