"LOVE BY PROXY"
(concluded from page 11)
ups were taken of the drive wheels of the locomotive to indicate inexorable power and fateful separation of lovers. Scenes were even taken of the leading man — emotion written with amateurish exaggeration on his face — trying to eat his lunch in a diner, with the blurry landscape dashing past the train window.
Creditable attempts were made at all the tricks of the professionals, and although some amateurisms were inevitable, the final result, — a piece of pioneer work in cinematography — was tremendously interesting locally and to demonstrate universally what the possibilities are in amateur motion picture art. The Motion Picture Club of The Oranges is already eager to try another production. They are already discussing seriously a project to make their homemade films an intermittent feature in the local professional motion picture theatres.

The cine-camera and the projector is the sequel to a well defined adage — "Seeing is believing."
Athletics and Sports — In athletics and sports the amateur cinecamera has of late proved even of greater value than the element of continuous oral review of a popular event or meet. Today the slow motion picture places the
coach or trainer at greater advantage in being able to point out to each participant his shortcomings— or affords the comparison of professional technique or action to the semi-professional or amateur. So vast has been this appeal that a visitor to almost any location of golf, tennis, baseball or football, will witness innumerable amateur cinematographers "shooting" their friends in action.
How really effective this form of self-education actually is may best be understood by mentioning here the experience of a public speaker. For many years he had unconsciously cultivated a most unbecoming gesture. Close friends endeavored to point out
