PKEFACB. This book, as its name implies, is intended as a text-book or book of reference in the several branches of the motion-picture art, from the perforation of the film through the operations of photographing, developing, printing, and projecting these pictures, alone and in connection with lantern projection of still pictures. The work is conscientiously written, embodies the experience of the writers covering the entire period since the adoption of flexible film as a picture carrier, and also the details of interest picked up all over the world in the many trips which have been made in collecting pictures for the Burton Holmes " Travelogues." It is believed to be as complete as the art at present permits, containing, as it does, the bestknown practice in all its branches by the most skilful workers in the art everywhere, and is published in the hope that it may hasten a still further improvement in the quality of the pictures, and the better appreciation of the great value of these pictures in scientific work and the recording of national and historical events in a far more natural and accurate manner than posed still pictures permit.
