the dark room when the light is turned on. For printing on the board the lamps may be plain, but for use in the multiple frame, Fig. 4, the globe should be frosted to assure an even distribution of the light on all sides. This device (Fig. 4) is exceedingly useful where a number of negatives of approximately the same density are to be printed. In the case of advertising and title slides, the multiple printer will prove invaluable. The light is placed in the center of the board or table, A, and any number of ordinary printing frames are arranged in a circle around the light. A distance of 15 inches should be left between light and frames, and on a board of this size, on which the frames are arranged around the circumference of a circle 30 inches in diameter, twelve frames may be conveniently placed and sufficient space be left so that they may be placed flat on the board for loading or unloading, as at C and D in the drawing. The frames are hinged to the board, as suggested in the figure at E.
Films in China
Consul General George E. Anderson, Hongkong, China, says the imperial Maritime Customs returns for China do not specify the imports of films for moving pictures into China, and Hongkong has no customs returns whatever, the result being that it is impossible to give any figures as to the present use of films in moving picture establishments either in Hong
kong or in China. However, it may be said that there is a good and a growing business in all such lines of goods both in that district and in Chinese ports aswell. In Hongkong there are half a dozen large cinematograph establishments and there is a large and growing business in private entertainment outfits. These entertainments generally are commencing toappeal to the Chinese, and owing to their comparatively low price of admission they are within the reach of a great population. There are indications that the immediate future may offer a great opportunity in the interior ports of China in this line, but to establish such means of entertainment in Chinese cities generally would require a campaign of education and considerable capital.
The cinematograph business in Hongkong and the lower China coast is largely in the hands of Portuguese, former residents of Macao, who also have practically complete control of the skating rink business and nearly all similar enterprises. They lean toFrench films as a matter of preference, though English films are common because of the fact that this is a British community and must have some British scenes. Some American films are used, but they are obtained mostly through European exchanges. The sale of. the European goods rather than American seems to havebeen altogether a matter of convenience and due largely to the fact that few American film houses have reached after the business in this portion of the world.
