Inc. 145 West 45th Street New York City STEREOSCOPIC MOTION PICTURES ON THE SCREEN In reference to our article on this subject in a recent issue of the Motion Picture News, a well-known experimentalist writes us as follows : "I am not in agreement with the quite definite opinion expressed in your article to the effect that motion pictures in stereoscopic relief are physically, or even practically, impossible. This opinion is based on some considerable study of the general stereoscopic phenomena and on some tests with apparatus of my own construction showing lantern slides projected so that they could be observed stereoscopically by a number of observers, the apparatus for doing this being of my own devising, but depending on no fundamentally new principles. I am not prepared to describe in detail what I consider the most desirable combination of apparatus to accomplish satisfactory stereoscopic projection, as I believe I should first make some patent applications on some of the devices which I have constructed and which I have in mind. Also I may say that while I am satisfied that there is nothing impossible in such stereoscopic projection of moving pictures, I am not so certain that development and exploitation of the system would be necessarily successful, partly on account of the additional expense and complication, and largely on account of the present imperfections in simple motion picture projection. By this last, I refer to the unfortunate fact that nine-tenths of the moving pictures shown are technically and optically not up to the highest standard, so that it seems fair to make the general statement that the better class of people avoid motion picture shows on account of the strain of the eye which it experiences, apart from any considerations of the nature of the action depicted." We hope that in course of time our correspondent will favor the readers of the Motion Picture News with his ideas on this subject. We cannot blame him for his reticence, as it is too frequently the case that the publication of original ideas is destructive to commercial success.
