60 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE the photographer could take a picture of the action within the tank by plac- ing his camera at the further end of the passageway, and yet exclude all the surroundings.

They carried to break the glass. He was told, but not convinced I fear, that all was well, and that it was perfectly safe. However, to prepare for misfortune, Hooper and Sullivan bound their arms and hands in bagging and took up their positions on each side of the camera, within the camera passage- way.
