For two weeks this space will be given to the women of the G. A. R., who will give a benefit for the benefit of old sol¬ diers. The Gem is the newest picture house in Bangor, Maine. Three swing¬ ing doors connect the lobby with the outer world. This lobby will be a perfect blaze of electricity — a really magnificent illumination — the ceiling being studded with nearly 300 incandescents. Passing into the theatre proper the spectator will be surprised at the beauty and good taste displayed in the decorative detail. On a gently inclined floor seats for about 250 — comfortable opera chairs of the latest pattern, with devices in each for hats and umbrellas. The air is clean and pure, for there is a big ventilator in SOCIETY ITALIAN CINES OTHELLO 683 FU1JT A magnificent production of the Shakespearean masterpiece Ready, February 28 145 E.|23d St. New York City When writing advertisers, kindly mention Views and Films Index. the ceiling, and there are also four windows — before which, while the pic¬ tures are being shown, will hang heavy draperies and curtains of red plush. The picture screen is on a raised platform, and beneath it, sepa¬ rated from the audience by more dra¬ peries of red plush, is the pit for the pianist and the drummer. Eight clus¬ ters of lights will furnish illumina¬ tion during intermissions. There are so many versions of the origin of moving pictures that this latest one is interesting, too: Sir John Herschel, after dinner in 1826, asked his friend Charles Bab¬ bage how he would show both sides of a shilling at once. Babbage re¬ plied by taking a shilling from his pocket and holding it to a mirror. This did not satisfy Sir John, who set the shilling spinning upon the din¬ ner table, at the same time pointing out that if the eye is placed on a level with the rotating coin both sides can be seen at once. Babbage was so struck by the experiment that the next day he described it to a friend, Dr. Fitton, who immediately made a working model. On one side of a disk was drawn a bird, on the other side an empty bird cage; when the card was revolved on a silk thread the bird appeared to be in the cage. This model showed the persistance of vision upon which all moving pictures depend for their ef¬ fect. The eye retains the image of the object seen for a fraction of a second after the object has been re¬ moved. This model was called the thaumotrope. Next came the zoetrope, or wheel of life. A cylinder was perforated with a series of slots and within the cylinder was placed a band of draw¬ ings of dancing men. On the appara¬ tus being slowly rotated the figures seen through the slots appeared to be in motion. The first systematic photographs taken at regular inter¬ vals of men and animals were made by Muybridge in 1877. G. F. Bauerdorf, of the Society Ital¬ ian, and Williamson & Co., gave the following statement for publication about the concern: “We will continue business in the future as in the past, supplying the public with films of ex¬ ceptional merit, guaranteeing all pa¬ trons and users against all persecu¬ tion and threats of a legal nature.’ He furthermore said that the firm is one of the licensees of the Biograpl’ Company, and proposes to maintair , their position and prestige. _ J WANT AND EXCHANGE.
