HOW CAMERA WIZARDS DO WONDERS IN MOVIES; MOST ARE GENUINE

Monroe Lathrop, in the Los Angeles Times Well, fans and f anettes, gather round and you shall have some of your curiosity satisfied. It's against the rules of the game to give away the sec rots of the movies, because the milkers want you to think the false Is genuine. They're not so much concerned about preserving for you the joys of complete Illusion as for the hold they want to keep on your Imagination. It's not bo much that they care If you suspect the optical pleasures provided for you are sometimes faked with camera Ingenuity. They know you know it. But for the good of the business they don't wan't you to get the Idea that most of them are trick stuff. If you did you wouldn't check your critical faculties at the box office, You'd be picking the drama or farce to pieces-as it unrolled, and half of the story value would be lost to you. And that might hurt the business. But there have been some things on the screen that you knew were faked, and it's a reasonable curiosity to want to know how they were done. Let it be 6ald that they were only incidental, the vest majority of scenes shown on the screen are genuine obtained at enormous exnense and pains or In the of "stunts" performed at varying degrees of peril to the life or limb of , ,, ,. . . ..... - . u.iir, uu-in-av-wi imicu u, falling 700 feet from an airplane, an other was fatally injured in leaping from a fast- moving train, and another was badly injured trying to make an automobile vault over a locomotive something snapped, at the critical moment. So the fakes are exceptional. But on their face some things are tricked up. For instance, however much confidence in the legend "there were giants in those days" you have carried over from your childhood, you know that there are now no 100-foot giants in the California movie studios. And yet you saw In Bryant Washburn's comedy, "The Six Best Cellars," a human monster walk down the roadway and drink out of a demijohn while people of normal size, but pygmies by comparison, flanked him on either curb. Fans Fooled by Optical Trick. The giant was a real man, "even as you or I." So were the people over whom he towered, though he could have put several of them in his vest pocket. How was it done? Double exposure, you answer. Wrons though it might have been done that way. It was done with one "shot," and it illustrates how far beyond double exposure camera ingenuity has advanced. The "giant" was the creation of V. It. Hall, a genius, in the service of the Famous Players-Lasky Company. He built a platform 16 feet wide in the street, resembling a pavement, reaching from curb to curb, on which he placed an actor of ordinary size. Back of this platform, which was 72 feet deep, were the throngs of people. Now the skill consisted in so placing the camera that the curb lines on which the people stood far back of the "giant" were caught by the lens while the "giant" was kept in perfect perspective. He was a "close-up" and they were a "long-shot" all in the same scene. Yet the screen seems to show the throngs following the walking colossus on an even line with him, when in fact they were nearly 100 feet back. It illustrates what a lens in the hands of a master of the camera's mechanism and of optics and perspective can be made to do. Doug Fairbanks really scales high buildings and works other athletic marvels for the camera. Almost everything he is shown doing is genuine. But he can't walk on ceilings, head downward, as he is Been to do in a recent play, "When the Clouds Roll By." That, of course, was a mechanical interpolation. They built at his studio a set showing a room open at one side and revolving on an axis like a squirrel cage. As Doug walked over to the side wall and placed his foot on it for the first step the camera, also set with ppecial equipment so that it would revolve, likewise turned, and so on as be walked up one side, over the ceiling and down the other side. To the turned camera he appeared always to be walking on the floor, head up, but in the picture registered on the film, always vertical, the star had his head out horizontally or downward, as the case happened to be. The pursuers rushing into the room were introduced by double exposure. Simple enough in tITe main elements LEGAL NOTICE 49 may be filed or presented by persons Interested In. or affected by, said proposed inyrovement as above described, and on said day, at 9 o'clock a. m.. said Board will meet at its office for the purpose of hearing and considering any remonstrances which may have been filed or presented, and for the purpose of taking- final action thereon. Such action shall be final and conclusive upon all persons. HARRY V. GILBERT T. C. TAYLOR. JOHN E. PELTZ. may4-11 Board of Public Works.

but the art was to get the mechanism

of the room and camera adjusted to such a mathematical nicety that the artifice wouldn't be given away at some point In the revolution. A somewhat similar method was used in filming the earthquake scene in Bryant Washburn's play, "Why Smith Left Home," with its heaving and rocking buildings. Flood of Camera Manipulators, la a recent Fairbanks play a scene shows a city being overwhelmed by a flood. This was done by making a town of miniature buildings on the order of an architect's model, and photographing It with the water sent through a Blulce bowling over the buildings. Ordinarily such small objects toppling over would show the Jerky optical effect of upright dominoes falling. This was overcome by "shooting" with a fast lens making ten feet of film to the second. When the film ran through the projection ma chine it unwound at the normal rate, which is much slower. Probably the most remarkable piece of photographic faking ever achieved was done In Griffith's "Intolerance.'' It was due to the wizardry of Mr. Hall, then with Griffith, but now with the Lasky company, and was revealed by him the other day for the first time, In some of the long shots showing vast numbers of Babylonians in the festive scenes in the palace, and Oliv ers showing fighting with invaders from the towering walls, the Boldiers were manikins operating mechanically! They carried shields and perform ed prodigious feats of valor. These toy figures of which there wero no less than 3,000 in one scene, went through their "acting" wholly by means of a system of little elevators underneath the set and operated by a large corps of men under Mr. Hall's direction. One of these miniature mechanical marvels cost $24,000 to build. There was no fake about that! "Mr. Griffith almost laughed himself sick when he saw the thing operated," says Hall. But so amazingly perfect was the complicated device that these manikins were shown spearing each other, battling furiously with swords, falling in combat, and even hurling balls of ire i1"0111 tiie parapets so realistically that no eye has ever been skilled enough to even get a suspicion of fake. No wonder Griffith laughed. Thin Illusion was perfected by a host of real, moving humans in the Bcenea and all this was another achievement of Hall plus Griffith to mako the false dovetail so perfectly with the real that an expert camera man could not tell one from the other. Revealing this does not detract from Griffith's wonderful work in "Intolerance." In most of the big scenes he marshaled and directed vast numbers of people so many that the salary list of "Intolerance" has never been approached by any other picture. An amusing piece of faking was done under Hall's master hand in a flairy play. They asked him to conceive some way in which a dragon could be shown pursuing children. Hall' got a young denizen of one of the southern California alligator farms and "dolled it up" with horn3, claws WIFE OF "JOHN D." OF SOUTH AMERICA VISITING THE U. S. Mrs. Curios A. Tornquist.

and other accouterments of a huelcy dragon. Then be had 'the children photographed running up steps to & refuge in an enchanted tower. Running the film back he made a second exposure showing the dragon crossing the foreground in all his horrific design, crawling up the steps and finding himself baffled by the enchanted doorslll. "Maybe we didn't have a time making that dragon act his role," taid HalL The skill of the thing consisted in the mathematical accuracy with which the double exposure had to be done. The illusion was perfect. Another wonder worker of the camera the master of them all, in fact, in the creation of fake thrill-stuff, as it is called in the argot of the studios Is Fred Jackman, head of the photographic staff for SennetL Everybody knows that the Sennett comedies are in a class by themselves for thrill inventions and executions, real and otherwise. It is usually Sennett that invents or conceives the situations. Then it's up to Jackman. The number of impossible things he has done with the camera to catch, improve upon and fake up these situations is marvelous. If he has ever fallen down on the job there is no record or tradition of It. Jackman can show a man falling off the top of the Washington monument. ' landing on his feet and walking away with an unruffled cigar in his mouth. He's nice about refusing to give away the tricks of his trade, explaining that in hia particular line it's especially desirable to keep people guessing which is real and which fake. "Mae no mistake about this," he said, "most of the thrill stuff you see nowadays in our films is genuine. Audiences have grown wise and demand the real thing. Too many o,f them know when you are resorting to tricks to try to pull the old simple stuff on them. What we do now is the rarity, and it'B got to be so good that they can t detect It." But Jackman admits that he does put it over on them now and then. He's so expert, in fact, that often other producers borrow him from Sennett for particularly difficult trick photography. He told how he made th horse eat a bag of oats and grow fat. before your eyes. He photographed a cadaverous old Dobbin eating the feed. Then he faded the scene out with fix turns of the crank. Then he substituted a horse swollen up with wind colic. Next he turned the film back si turns and faded in. The optical effect is an animal gaining a hundred-weight in a few seconds. In the same way h made a frightened darky turn snow white. But it's not so simple as it. pounds. The darky had to retire to put on a white make-up but before doing so another camera was trained on him and his location was sketched on the glass plate. If in retaking the scene the darky had been a small part of an inch out of the position he left, the figure would appear to jump on the Bcreen and the trick would be spotted. When the darky came back he was located in this precise, spot and in the precise attiude by the second camera's plate and the "lap-dissolve," as it is termed, was completed. This trick explains how Mary Pickford, in a recent play, was shown phedding rags that were simultaneously replaced by a princess's gown. In one Sennett comedy Jackman showed a girl skating into a room, making a complete loop-the-loop circle and skating out. While the camera showed her looping, she was actually standing still on one spot. She skated to that spot, the camera was revolved and as it reached "even keel" the girl skated out of the scene. The revolving of the camera made it appear that she had described a full circle. Most Comedy Leaps are Fakes. Here's the way they make men in a comedy chase leap from roof to roof across a street .say 60 feet. They make a photograph of the real buildings. Then they take at the studio a moving picture of the actors jumping from one spot to another say 10 feet. All around and behind them are hung black velvet curtains so that nothing registers on the film but the flylne figures. By superimposing that on the picture of the buildings, after getting far enough away with the camera Us se that the perspective of (he leap fit exactly on the cornices of the buildings, they show you men doing the impossible. In. justice to Fairbanks it should be said he doesn't use these tricks. In Mary Pickford's 'Tollyanna" two little imps are seen to dance on a large cake. This and kindred stunt (like a fairy rising out of the bow! of a man's pipe) were first done by ji French cinematographer named Paul, but Americans have, developed the idea. It is carried out with mirrors. At a certain angle and far enough away to make them appear liny on the fiilm, life-size imps dance before a mirror. With the aid of another mirror the reflection is caught by the camera at a point directly over th rake and so nicely can the matching be done that you can see the feet of the imps touch the frosting of the cake. Well, fans, that will be about enough of the forbidden fruit today. Run along to the thater and if you see some fine stunt on the screen don't whisper to your seatmate that It's a. faked affair. Nine and a half chances In ten you will be wrong. The only rule for spotting a fake is this: If a scene looks very much as if it might have been tricked it is probably genuine: and if it seems bo real that you couldn't entertain a suspicion about it why possibly the studio wizard has put one over on you. France Developing Water Powers The water power of France is estimated at 10.00n.000 horsepower, as compared with 7,000,000 horsepower for Norway and 6,000.000 for Sweden. Before the war only about 750.000 horsepower was used, but a further 450.000 horsepower was developed during the war, and by the end of 1921 1,600,000 horsepower, or IS per cent of France's resources, will be worked. Farm Lands Without Crops About one-fifth of a billion acres of the cut-over land and woodland in the United States might be cleared up and the stumps removed so that the land would be available for productive farms. If all this agriculturally: suitable forest and cut-over land could be made Into farms averaging 160 acres, it would provide 1,250,000 farms, an Increase of about 20 per cent over the present number. It Is believed unlikely that more than 50,000,000 acres, or enough for perhaps 300,000 farms, will be the government assumes responsibility.
