HOW THE SCENES ABE MADE UP
Inside Views of a Factory Ealppd

era wonders of the Camera
mud lh Coat.
A ride on the Brighton Beach train to
Greenfield ttattlon. Long Island, brings one
to the moving picture factory, or the vita
graph factory in more dressed-up language,
a place as full of mystery and Interest as
the workshop of a magician. The moving
picture man was at home when the visitor
Hi:d the other day, very busy In his
' Kerksliop and Inclined to frown and lock
anno)ed at an Interruption, but he soon
res, Kind himself with a show of grace to
lie inevitable and revealed some ot the
Secrets of the pictures that keep us
thrilled and wondering when we have a
fl ith of them at the close of a vaudeville
pii-gram. There were some things that the
moving picture man would not reveal, but
r-erely skimmed over with wise nods of the
bind and vague hints, tiorai.se he believe
t-u ureat a knowledge might rob the spec
tat .is of some of Its keenness.
In the moving (icture factory Is as varied
a collection of costumes and properties and
Scemry as a big theatrical company carries
and scene painters are constantly at wyrk
making new canvasses for the pictured
dramas The scrubby woods about tha
factory have to serve many purposes, from
deep forest scenes to western gorges and
prairies. In the small yard of the factory
on the day of the visit was drooping a
dreary, fagged, old, white horse; a pig
rooted near a pile of lumber and within
the studio of the factory were two white
doves perched on the rim of a painted
canvas boat. All these were properties
used In recent moving pictures.
Like a Theatrical Performance.
The moving picture story or play Is made
mucli after the fashion of any other story
or play. Tints are sometimes original; ol.l
and new stories from books or newspapers
are often taken, but always the play Is
written out In detail for the benefit of the
actors and it is rehearsed before It is pre
sented to the camera, which Is an audience
so critical that every part must bo Just
right to suit It. Frequently dialogue U In
troduced Into these picture plays, so that
the actors may understand Just what ges
tures to make use of and to get the light
spirit. For the moving pictures' regular
actors are engaged, and usually tlrst-class
actors, because they must understand how
to express an emotion or a happening per
fectly with gestures and action. The actor
must understand the trick thoroughly,
however, or he Is no good for thts purpose.
The actor whp Is too reposeful on the stage
and ex; r ss his meaning and feeling
merely by the tones of his voice or In
subtle movements Is utterly worthless for
the moving picture. Sometimes the actor
who has risen no higher than to I, ru.i
parts or the chorus can be made good use
of for the moving picture because of his
greut proneness to gesture and motion.
The actors have to rehearse uniler thi
eye of the director and must understand
tbelr parts well before the camera Is set
to work. They must crowd quick, fat
action Into a short space of time, so that
every click of the crank will count for
Something.
While the moving pin or tlav has the
disadvantage of lacking conversation. It
has the advantage over the real play of
being able to crowd a great many pic
tured events into a small space of time.
For instance, in a play where, for lack
of time, many happenings have to be
described only In conversation, the camera
can picture those events and make them
more real. A well-known play was
worked over for a moving picture and
in Its new form Is called "Retribution." It
shows actually in pictures a murder an 1
how it was planned, where on the stag--that
event,, the consequences of whl .-h
form the basis of the play. Is merely re
ferred to In the first uct as having hap
pened fifteen years before. The murder
scene took lace In the woods in the dead
of winter w hen ihe murdered man was
driving homeward from an inn In the
snow. The woods near the moving pic
ture factory last winter were utilized for
this on a snowy day last winter, and the
whole thlngwas acted out, a dummy fig
ure being struck with the ax of the mur
derer. Some things can be faked In the
moving picture, but never action. Thit
must be genuine.
When the actors In moving picture
dramas set forth from the factory to the
nearby woods to be pictured for the vari
ous scenes, there Is usually an accom
panying string of small boys and curiosity
seekers who follow In their train and
sometimes Interfere with the taking of the
pictures. Sometimes the onlookers be
come so absorbed In the drama that !s
going on that they stray within the focus
of the camera and mar the reality. Oc
casionally they add a note of natuialnesi
to It. however. One day recently a fight
between two men was under way for a
picture when a bulldog In the neighbor
hood, having his spirit stirred by watch
ing the encounter, rushed In and grabbed
one of the combatants by the trouser leg.
Ulu4 the cloture lisiuensely. but-
It happened, the plate was not good and
when the picture was taken over again
nothing could Induce the dog to repeat
his part of the performance.
Scenery Ksaentlal.
As a great variety of scenery Is needed
in the plays that are Introduced, the mov
ing picture man has to be on the ke-n
watch for localities that cau be adapted
for his purpose. Though some of the
wildest of western scenery Is often Intro
duced, there are very few scenes for
which some bit within u few miles of the
city cannot be found and utilized. The
man behind the camera knows many a
'.rick of focusing whereby a email exca
vation can be made to look llk a deep,
treacherous gorge, and a slight hill like
a nigged mountainside. In a western
drarnu, where such rugged-looking scenes
were In reality excavations for houses on
the outskirts of BruoKlyn within a few
yards of the trolley lice, and the ste-p
mountain tide wai rocks In the park.
The huts and Interiors and unusual scenes
were usually the results of the painter's
brush and are merely of canvuh.
The way the moving picture man ex
plains the scenes of an automobile runninn
up to a house and climbing right over the
top is that the picture Is taken with the
machine really approaching the cottar.
Then the front of the house Is palnled on
canvas and laid flat on the ground. The
automobile goes over the painted house
while the man with the camera tukes the
picture from above. That picture Is Joined
right on to the other where the automobile
is approaching the cottage and the effect
is of the machine climbing over '..e houue.
Kiting the Thrills.
The mysterious pictures where one sees
a knife cutting bread without the aid of a
naiiu, a pitcher pouring milk, sugar drop
ping in the tea, the saucer walking off the
table, etc., is explained by what Is called
Ljo-wurk on the part of the camera, and
Is a very tedious process. The article that
Is to move, for Instance, the knife, is
moved by some one the tiniest bit at a
time and after It Is moved the camera
takes each stage and stops, Instead of con
tinuing taking many pictures in a second.
Gradually little by little the knife Is pic
tured approaching the bread and dually ap
pears cuttlnr It. When the pictures arc
Joined together and moved at the enormoui.
rate at which the pictures are shown, the
effect Is of the knife moving Itself In some
mysterious way. It takes a whole day
sometimes to work out one of these pic
tures that Is shown in a few seconds.
Pictures taken by moving picture ma
chines cannot be retouched, because the
films are so tiny, about an inch In slxe. but
a strip can be taken out and fine effects
produced in that way. It is in that way
that pictures of persons tied to railroad
tracks who Just escape the second before
the train reaches there, are obtained. The
people are actually taken on the track, but
they are careful to get away a good while
before the train reaches them. The strip
of pictures between that showing the peo
ple on the track and the approach of the
train to that iolnt Is rut out and the ef
fect Is greatly Intensified. One day re
cently the cables from abroad told of a
tragic Instance where two men were bound
to the track, poelng for moving pictures,
and falling to get up soon enough were run
over and killed. That made a picture
hideously real, no doubt, but there Is
surely no audience that would be willing
to see it.
There Is a great deal more effort, talent
and expense attached to the msklng of
these pictures than the public realises.
Working constantly the factory cannot turn
out more than two pictures a week, and It
takes half a day for the actors to go
through with one surb-s. Ten or fifteen
years ago if pictures were shown with
smoke that moved and a person walked
the spectators thought It wonderful. Now
there Is nothing too marvelous for the
camera to reproduce, and new wonders are
forthcoming all the time. Brooklyn Eagle.
POPULAR GAME FOR FAME
Hnntlna- the Pole Has Amused Many
Kuergetlc Gentlemen In the
Past.
Hunting the pole Is a good game, and
has amused many energetic but unsclentltlc
gentlemen, and several rich but Ignorant
syndicates. No one has ever yet won
the game, and no one ever will; because
to win Is a physical Impossibility.
The truth of the matter Is that reaching
the pole Is a paradox; a contradiction of
terms. For when a man reaches the pole
he will not be there.
As we know, the earth Is whirling around
on Its axis at the rate of a thousand
miles t,er hour, which Is a fairly rapid
'pace. It It should be arrested for speeding,
and stopped suddenly, everyhndy would,
I of course, fly Into space. The Intelligent
recognition of this fact proves how Illogi
cal Is the idea of reaching the pole.
Even though you are not of a scientific
mind, think of this matter seriously for
a moment.
A man standing on the equator is mov
ing around at the rate of a thousand miles
per' hour. That is, his feet are going at
that rate, but his head goes a trifle faster.
If the globe suddenly stopped revolv
ing, he being so accustomed to the rapid
motion, would by reason of inertia, My off
Into spare In a direction opposite to that
toward which he has been going. There
fore, since the earth revolves from west
to east, he would be flung toward the east,
and would wills through spare at a star
tling speed of a thousand miles an hour.
Thts speed would probably diminish grad
ually, but that wouldn't matter much to
the man. As Is well known, the motion of
the earth is slower as the parallels of lati
tude recede from the equator; at the arctlo
circle the surface of the globe creeps lan
guidly, and at the pole Itself there Is no
motion whatever.
It la not difficult then for a rational
mind to trafip the situation. Were a man,
who, at the equator, has contracted the
habit of continuously moving through space

denly transported to the stationary pole,
the sensation would be precisely the aaaM
as If the equator had stopped moving.
The logical result of this would be that
Inertia would cause the man to move In
the direction opposite to customary routs.
But since at the pole there Is no east or
west, the scientific consequence would be
that the man standing on the pole would
spin around like a top, with a motion the
reverse of his previous movement around
with the world.
This Is not theory, but incontrovertible
fact, and the only uncertainty la whether
the man spinning round somewhat faster
than an electric fan, would necessarily
bore a hole In the earth, and disappear
that way, or be shot off the earth, atlll
spinning. In view of these self-evident
and Inevitable conclusions, It does seem
strange that presumably scientific men
should strive to attain tha unattainable.
Indeed we are forced to the conclusion
that the polar expeditions are fakes, and
are merely excursions for the recreation.

Another conclusion forced upon us la
the probability that many explorers who
