ence to this point, Goldsmith has well observed "The
blushing beauties of the rose, the modest blue of the
violet, are not in the flowers themselves, but in the light
that adorns them. Odor, softness, and beauty of figure
are their own ; but it is light alone that dresses them up
in those robes which shame the monarch's glory."

the moderns,- Des Cartes imagined
that the difference of color proceeds
from the prevalence
of the direct or rotatory motions of the particles of light.

Grimaldi, Dechales, and others, thought the differences
of color depended upon the quick or slow vibrations of
a certain elastic medium filling the whole uniyerse.

Rohault imagined that the different colors Were made
by the rays of light entering the eye at different- angles
with respect to the optic axis; and Dr. Hook conceived
that color is caused by the sensation of the oblique, or
uneven pulses of light; and this being capable of no

Prior f
supposed that all light

passing out of one medium into another of differea
density, was equally refracted, in the same or like circum
stances but Newton discovered that this is not the fact
but that there are different species of light, and that eacl
species is disposed both to suffer a different degree ol
refrangibility in passing out of one medium into another,
and to excite in us the idea of a different color from
rest; and that bodies appear of that color which arise
from the peculiar rays they are disposed to reflect. Iti
now, therefore, universally acknowledged that the ligt
of the sun, which to us seems perfectly homogeneal w

Referring to our issue No. 4, March 30, and the table

of distances, several correspondents have written that

used there should be no difficulty in using the tables.
When exhibiting for the Gilchrist and University lectures-,
in halls varying from 50 to 150 feet distance from screen,
we relied absolutely on the tables and they never failed us.
For the benefit of our readers we are now making experiments with Darlot lenses and will shortly publish the
results, and if necessary prepare a new set of tables for
their use. In the meantime, if readers will find the focus
of their lens by holding front of same pointing towards
a window and get a sharply defined image on a piece of
paper pinned to wall, then measure from paper to midway of lens mount, they will get the focus of lens. Do not
use the back focus as a guide or it will cause difficulties
for instance, if the back focus is 12 inches and the front
focus 9 inches, the equivalent focus of the lens should be
between 8 and 9 inches, and if our readers will bear this
in mind when using these lenses their troubles will vanish.
We have pleasure in reproducing a reference table we
prepared for cinematograph lenses. This table is worked
out on similar lines to the lantern lenses, and from several
tests we have made it is approximately accurate.

Success of the most pronounced kind attended the opening of the Lyric moving picture and illustrated song theater on East State street Trenton, N. J.,- recently. About
3,000 persons visited the handsome little theater and enjoyed a solid hour's show. The Lyric is conducted by the
National Amusement Company, of Philadelphia. Three
reels of motion pictures and two illustrated songs comprise the program at each show. This bill occupies one-
hour
in presentation.
All of the attendants are uniformed

The Moving Picture World
In previous issues of
we have
called attention to the depressing effect

upon
picture business which will surely follow the
misguided manufacturers and dealers who persist in issuing films of subjects bordering on the sensational or
immoral.
wave of rebellion has risen against five-cent
theaters on this account alone and has even made its
influence felt in Chicago. It was proposed to suppress
the penny arcades and nickelodeons entirely, and in this
event, of course, the innocent would suffer with the guilty
in the loss of business.
We are glad, however, to see
that in Chicago, at least, less stringent methods are to be
adopted. At a meeting in the City Club rooms on May 2,
a resolution was offered by Miss Jane Addams, that,
instead of suppressing these places, they be placed under
proper supervision and regulation, which motion was approved of. It was also pointed out that these places,
rightly conducted, are a benefit and not a menace, especially to the poorer classes.
The consensus of opinion
seems to be that the public desires these shows, but it
wants them clean and wholesome. What the public wants,
it is going to have; and manufacturers, dealers and exhibitors of shows that do not meet the approval of public
opinion will only be the sufferers in the end. That it is
a menace to the profession is not to be denied. The daily
press all over the country has contained, in the past few
weeks, innumerable protests from property holders, minEqually

out that the habit of visiting these places leads children

paves the way to ruin in some cases.
"All this is probably true, at least to some extent. The
invention of the biograph and similar machines has made
it possible to depict life and motion in a very realistic and
fascinating manner. Like everything else, however, the
moving picture show has its good and its bad -side. Pictures of clean, honest sport ; of funny, but not vulgar,

in the United States, whose

members -are continually being solicited to advertise in
mediums of doubtful value. The emphasis placed by .the
Richmond commercial body upon the superior value of
advertising in newspapers is based not only on right, theory, but on practical experience as well.
As our esteemed contemporary "The British and Colonial Printer" truly said a few weeks ago, a great deal of money
is wasted by manufacturers and merchants in injudicious
advertising, as many of the varied and novel schemes
which business men are solicited to adopt as a means of
obtaining publicity for their wares are far more profitable
to the promoters than to the advertisers.
There is no
doubt that every form of publicity has a certain value,
but very often the method is not adapted to suit the business in question, with the result that considerable money

with the public mind with the blare and extravagance of circus and vaudeville exploitation. Advertising
in the periodical press, and especially in the trade journal, has a great advantage over any other form of advertising. In the first place the trade juornal or the periodical press affords a wider and prompter publicity and a
more effective distribution of the advertising information
than any other means that can possibly be employed. In
these mediums the advertiser can bring his name and his
wants to the attention of thousands of readers when they
have the time and the disposition to give deliberate and
undisturbed attention and consideration to what is pretified
sented to them in the columns of the journal.

Persistent advertising and in the right place is, let me
say again, the most satisfactory method. "No advertiser
has ever achieved fortune through a single announcement," says a writer who knows, in "Publicity," but
thousands have through continuous announcements. Nature points an unheeded moral to the transient advertiser.

DESCRIPTION
This film opens with an attack by foot-pads on a
gentleman and bis wife returning from the theatre.
As the man is being overpowered, a tramp appears
unexpectedly on the scene carrying a big stick, which he
uses to such good effect that he puts the robbers to flight.
The
victims of the thieves feel extremely grateful,
and the husband rewards the tramo with a One Hundred Dollar BUI.
The tramp almost faints with joy at the unexpected

good fortune. Visions of square meals good beds, high
through his brain. He had never before

In the meantime the swimmer goes ashore, and is
astounded at the metamorphosis of his clothes. Finally

gentleman and his wife are observed coming down
the road, by side of a fence. Two foot-pads appear op

the scene and observe them; they draw back, not having
been observed by the two pedestrians (who are absorbed

in themselves), and a turn in the road hides them from
view. When the couple reach the bend one foot-pad darts
iorward and throws a large handkerchief oveV the head
of the gentleman, tightening it at his throat, while the
other .seizes the wife ; both are being overcome by the
foot-pads and borne to the ground. Suddenly a tramp
appears on the scene; taking in at a glance the situation,
Jie belabors the foot-pads with a stout stick he carries,
with such good effect that they are glad to beat an ignominious retreat. The gentleman and wife are grateful
for the timely aid of the tramp, whom they profusely

by the hand they depart, leaving the tramp full of astonHis amazement at the
ishment at his good fortune.
largeness of the bill gradually changes to one of delight.
He carefully finds a place of security in his ragged coat,
puffs out his chest and walks off quite elated.
His troubles now commence. He calls at a wayside
inn and is served with light refreshment; in payment he
tenders the bill; the lady declares she cannot change it,
and he goes off without paying for what he had consumed. He next tries a grocery store, but with no" better
luck, the proprietor cannot change it. He next enters a
high-class restaurant, where the waiter eyes him with
suspicion but serves him with a sumptuous repast, which
he eats with .great relish. Preparing to depart, he asks
for his bill, which the waiter very dubiously presents.
With a great flourish the tramp produces, to the astonishment of the waiter, the $100.00 bill which he offers in
payment. The waiter cannot believe his eyes, and goes
off, and excitedly calls the proprietor who, on understanding the situation, becomes suddenly suspicious and
sends .the waiter for the police. To while away the time
in the interval he accepts a cigar from the tramp, also
drinks with him. The police now appear ; the proprietor
hands the tramp over to them as a suspicious person and,
despite his protests of innocence, they take him before a
magistrate; who, after listening to his story, and there
being no evidence to the contrary, dismisses him.
The tramp, finding all hopes of cashing the $100.00
gone, walks dejectedly down the street turning down

a by-path, he finds himself on the banks of a stream in
Which a bather is disporting himself. The' bather's clothing lies on the bank and attracts the attention of the tramp
,who, conceiving a way of changing his bill, takes the
clothes of the bather, leaving his own in their place.
Making his way to a secluded corner of a bridge and
side walk of the river, he dons the clothes and swaggers
.off.

Another delightful feature of vaudeville is the fact thai
each act is a complete performance in itself, and that no
matter at what stage of the progress of the entertainment one arrives at the theater, the portion of the per
formance yet to come is absolutely complete. The fact

You will find that the kinetoscopic world is much like the
dramatic, that it has its actors and actresses, its playwrights and stage directors, its theatrical machinery, its
wings, its properties, its lights, its tricks, its make-ups, its
costumes, its entrances and its exits.
Exception of course should be made- of those moving
pictures which record public happenings, like the police
parade in New York City, the morning drill of the King's
House Guards in London, or the Czar and his court on
their way to church. Kinetoscopic representation of ac-

There is not the same popular demand for

Every establishment engaged in the business of
making moving pictures pays its highest salary to the man
who can think up the most novel themes for photographic
reproduction. Such an individual most times is both playwright and stage manager. He not only plots the various
scenes, but directs their enactment. To perform this latter task successfully he must possess a high degree of
generalship. Some of the moving picture productions of
the modern times are planned on such a big scale that the
performers who act the different parts constitute a small
sized army. In "The Train Wreckers," for example, two
special trains and about 100 people were employed.
And not only must the man who directs the taking of
moving pictures be a good executive, he must also possess tact and resource. He must be able to solve sudden
difficulties.
Oftentimes he is called upon most unexpectedly to straighten out some dilemma in which his
company while enacting a play outdoors has fallen.
When one of his men "stabs" another of his troupe in a
crowded thoroughfare to get a picture of a murder in
low life, and some bystander, not knowing that it is all a
play, rushes to the rescue and tries to kill the supposed
murderer, he must be able to prevent such an interrup-
mind.
sometimes happens, however, that events occur too
quickly for even the quickest-witted moving picture man.

In Summit, N. J., recently a kinetoscopic company
planned to get a photographic representation of two yegg

men breaking into a bank. After a good deal of parley
the bank people consented to have their treasury "looted."
They were promised that the name of their bank would

street with the police in pursuit, just as the
had been planned, when an undertaker, aroused
by the racket, looked out of his shop. One glance sufficed

to tell him that the time had come at last when he might
become a hero. The "robbers" were heading toward him,
and, leaping into the middle of the sidewalk, he aimed a
revolver at the foremost fugitive with the threat
"Stop, thief, or I'll blow your brains out.

'
-The thief stopped short with such suddenness that he

almost turned a back somersault. The undertaker then
aimed his gun at the second "yegg man" and brought
him to a standstill. Then in spite of the pleas of the head
of the kinetoscopic party and all his men that the whole
thing was for the purpose of taking a realistic picture, the
undertaker took his men by the nape of the neck and
tried to drag them to the police station. Indeed, he did
not give up until the head of the bank which had been
"robbed" came to him and explained the true condition of
things.

Permission had been obtained from the traffic manager

of the railroad, and it was all explained to the engineer
of the train that on reaching a certain point he should
not pay any attention to a photographer on the track,

"Murphys Wake," as shown, consisted of a series of

the return, of a drunken man to his cotkge. a quarrel with his wife and a bluff at suicide by
hanging. At the "wake" everybody was shown drinking

Mr. Buckman confined his remarks principally to Germany, France and Spain, and told of the things unique
and characteristic of those countries. He showed .a
number of photos of mediaeval buildings.
The most prominent view shown was a moving picture
of a Spanish bull fight. Rev. Francis Palmer, in speaking
of the picture, said that. the reason it was shown was to
how barbarous some countries are. The picture was a vivid reproduction of the manner in which
the fights are conducted.
Another moving picture showed the emperor and empress of Germany reviewing a parade of soldiers.

That statement embodies a common confusion of very

of a high-kicking actress in tights or the obscene posturing that accompanies the "danse du ventre."
Fortunately for the reputation of the American people
for common sense, such views do not generally prevail.
The fundamental distinction between art and obscenity
is too plain for them to mistake.
The latter appeals to
what is lowest in man.
The former appeals to what is

denied the motion.
Justice Kelly said that, in the testimony nothing had
been offered to show that there is anything immoral in
the pictures shown, but the Penal Code prohibits Sunday
public shows of all kinds. If the law is unjust, he said,
the proper method of procedure would be to have it repealed.
Rev. Floyd Appleton, of No. 22 Pennsylvania avenue,

rector of St. Clement's Episcopal Church, testified that
the edifice is about two blocks from Schindler's place. He

on the canvas pictures that he would not approve as

children who frequented these shows, the clergyman said,
had urged him to use his best efforts to have the places
closed.
Schindler declared his place was conducted in an orderly manner. The doors were kept closed and no noise
reached the outside.
"What are the titles of the pictures that you throw
on the canvas ?" Justice Kelly asked.
"On Sunday they are mainly religious or historical.
Among them are 'Joseph Sold by His Brethren,' 'The
Life of Moses,' .'The Life and Death of Christ,' and such.''
"Name some of the songs that are sung there."
"Well, the evening that Rev. Floyd Appleton visited
the show," Shindler replied, "the soprano was singing
'We Have Never Been So Far Apart
Before.'.
There
is
nothing immoral in any of the songs sung at my place."

"Schindler," said Justice Kelly, "Capt. Thomas Conlin
of the police, in that precinct, who visited your place saw
no violation of the law. Still, the code prohibits Sunday
exhibitions of that kind and I refuse to continue the injunction."

The children's long absence has alarmed
their mother.
Time after time she looks

in the blizzard in search of them, but returns without any trace. Shortly the shepherd reaches home, evidently glad to be in

Burglars Break in and Steal.

The New York branch
factory of Geo. Melies, of Paris,

at 204 East Thirty-eighth street, wasjgntered by thieves,
during the night of Sunday last ( 19th) and a large number of negatives taken, including boxes Nos. I and 3 of
a new film the firm were about to place on the market
and for which they have received many advance orders,
"Under the Seas." Mr. Gaston Melies, who is the manager of the New York branch, is at present in Paris. His
son is in charge during his absence, and from him we
learn that it will be a month or six weeks before they
can get other negatives from Paris to replace those stolen.
From the systematic manner the thief or thieves went to
work, it is evident they knew the run of the factory and
where the various negatives were stored. Mr. Melies
thinks it must be some former employe of the firm. The
Melies live in the rooms over the store, and heard nothing of them working, but probably the storm which raged
so violently deadened the noise. The thieves must have
been disturbed ; they had commenced to unscrew one of
the latest printing machines, which they seem to have
left in their hurry to get away.
Some three hundred
negatives were stolen, and if our readers are offered any
of the following, we ask them to hold the vendor, send
for the police and communicate with Mr. Melies

Sunday Shows in Brooklyn

The
invasion of quiet residential sections of Brooklyn
by moving picture show men, who give Sunday performances, is opposed by clergymen and occupants of fine
houses, who have been assured of the support of Mayor
McClellan and Police Commissioner Bingham.
Led by ex-District-Attorney Hyram R. Steele and Rev.
H.C. Morse, and backed by the Society for the Preven-

Court to protest against the setting up of one of these

shows, with its brilliant lights and noisy megaphoned
phonograph.
Elijah D. White, who has rented a store at CarroD
and Court streets for a moving picture show, was charged
with conducting it Sunday. It was pointed out that
while such exhibitions in some sections of the city had
been held to be no violation of the Sunday law, as no
neighbor had protested that his peace was disturbed, conditions were different in Carroll Park, where all the residents were united in an effort to have quiet Sundays.
White was held
in $5,000 for examination.

Rev. Floyd Appleton, rector of St. Clement's P. E
Church, was the leader of residents of the East New
