[ “A queer thing about moving pictures for the Kineto- scope,” said an expert operator in that line tome the other day, “is the illusion they generally produce as to the time they occupy on the screen. What is known as the * standard exhibition film * is fifty feet long. It is used almost entirely Tor comic scenes, trick pictures and other effects that are gotten up in the studios of the experts who make thenj a specialty. Every theatre-goer has seen them, and I will venture the assertion that the average man will declare they take at least three or four minutes in passing before the eye. As a matter of fact the picture is on' the screen less than one minute. You can easily figure it out for yourself. The ordinary fifty-foot film of the kind to which I refer is put through the reproducing machine at the rate of sixteen pictures to the second. Each picture is three-fourths of an inch broad, which makes the sixteen measure exactly one foot, edge to edge $ in other words.
