on glass. The camera "shot" through this glass onto the setting. The painted ceiling fitted photographically on top of forty immense constructed pillars, each thirty feet tall. In other words the actual palace at Petrograd, because of its ceiling, could not have been photographed with the perfection of beauty which the use of this socalled "trick" process made possible.
Effect shots of this sort are never used when better results can be secured through actual methods. Studios seek to simulate life and by experiment and invention they have carried that ability to remarkable lengths.
Not a "trick" so much as a photographic effect process is that achievement known as "montage." David Copper field and May time present two fine examples. In David Copperfield, by a series of short scenes rapidly succeeding each other, great dramatic pace is given to the flight of little David from his cruel stepfather. We see him in crowds, in rain, hiding in a farmer's haystack, running, walking, stumbling, until he finally finds haven in the arms of his aunt at her seaside cottage.
In May time it was necessary to show the rise in operatic prominence of Jeanette MacDonald over a period of seven years. Programs of great opera houses in Paris, Milan, and Madrid were shown, then through them came the figure of the star dressed in the role of the opera, singing the major aria. Rapidly, and here a magnificent musical medley arrangement by the music department took its definite artistic part, the montage spanned the whole operatic horizon of the picture at its zenith.
