The pictures themselves are taken during the day in a specially darkened room with only such light as is offered by the mobile arc lamps. Sometimes these are concealed in fireplaces, giving the effect of cheery fire glow. Sometimes they are overhead or at one side of the picture, coming supposedly from a lamp which is shown lighted, but _ whose feeble glow is not, of course, nearly sufficient for picture taking. A candle held in a child's hand seems to cast sprawling shadows over the ceiling, tho in reality the light comes from an arc lamp with a reflector which cunningly places the rays and shadows exactly where they would naturally come. A lantern held in a farmer's hand seemingly casts its glow on a circle of neighbor faces gathered around; a burglar sprays the darkness with his flashlight; an explosion sends showers of blinding glare across a pitchy sky. When pictures demand the atmosphere of some underground place, a tunnel or cave, portable mercury tubes are set up in the actual surroundings, sometimes at great risk of explosions. Pathe in a recent picture equipped a coal mine with naked arc lights, in spite of the danger of igniting the volatile gases. The lifelikeness and artistry of the effect depends on the cleverness of the arrangements of lamps and reflectors so that one sees a well-balanced ensemble of high lights on faces, shirt bosoms, light colored gowns, etc., offset by the proper amount of shadows. The director needs a knowledge of the laws of physics, as well as an eye for striking camera effects. In recent war pictures some spectacular night scenes of bursting bombs, blinding rocket flashes and the dots and dashes of artillery fire were produced by an explosive flashlight powder set off from a switchboard. Burning smoke bombs and fire pots added to the lurid display, but the resulting thickening of the air was almost unbearable for the players. Some way will doubtless be found to film screen warfare at night with a maximum of pyrotechnic effect and a minimum of asphyxiation. In the Tennessee mountain picture, "Her Man," nearly the entire action transpires at night, and the photography with its moonlight coming from a powerful lamp hidden in a tree beside the cabin is amazingly clear-cut. In the charming fantasy, "Prunella," a futurist moon of cardboard naively affixed to a black background and painted property stars gives a quaint faery book atmosphere entirely in keeping with the dainty artificiality and story-book quality of the play. Night is the time par excellence for romance, adventure, mystery and love. It is the time when marauders stalk abroad, when unknown dangers move thru the shadows, when crimes are committed. It is the time when fires are lighted, on the hearths at home, when pleasure seekers fare forth to the dance or theater. It is the time when love, always shy and elusive in the garish daylight, comes into its wondrous kingdom. And now, thanks to the ingenuity of the modern motion picture director, we may see what goes on in the lives of our picture friends after dark, as well as in the light of day. STRONGFORT The Perfect Man Don't Be a t Sickly Failure ! Are you dragging yourself about from day to day, always tired and dispirited ; suffering from backache, Indigestion, constipation; your biliousness showing In your face, your lack of energy In your eyes, your good-fornothing physical condition In the hang-dog air with which you meet your fellow men?
