Whether it will do so or not, no one can say. The success of the new organization depends largely on the past and future prowess of C. Francis Jenkins, who invented "the first practical motion picture projector," and whose laboratories have recently been devoted to televisionary experiments. The announcement of the new capitalization came at a time when Wall Street was talking of nothing but the break in the market and made therefore less stir in financial circles than it would have a week before...
...Gorilla Sanctuary A bowing major-domo announced "Mrs. Mary L. Jobe Akeley and Dr. J. M. Derscheid," when that intrepid pair returned from Africa to Brussels, last week, and were received by the King of the Belgians. Graciously His Majesty permitted Mrs. Akeley to set up a portable cinema projector; and soon life-size cinemagorillas were capering, fighting, leaping high, and giving suck to their young before the gaze of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth. The films were taken in the Belgian Congo, where Dr. Derscheid and Mrs. Akeley have been laboring to complete a suitable memorial to her late...
...place on the sensitive emulsion; making that place more or less transparent according to the light rays that come in. There is no color in the finished film. It is a pattern of various degrees of transparency and opaqueness. If run off in an ordinary projector, it would throw the ordinary black and white picture on the screen. But if the color filter is inserted, each minute transparent or opaque space on the film will be directed by the microscopic lenses through its own section of the color filter; falling upon the screen in its original color; producing the colored...
...operator, one Patrick Downing, planted his projector on a table in front of the barn-theatre's only door, ground off one reel of film, another. Then suddenly he screamed-too late-as a spark from a nearby candle fell on a roll of film lying on the table...
...came reports of a new photochemical process for producing naturally colored cinema films at no greater expense or effort than black and white effects require. An ordinary camera was used and an ordinary monochromatic film, treated specially but simply. No "screen" or "color filter"* was needed on camera or projector. Fringes of color-bane of films made with filters by superimposing sets of negatives-were unknown. The only features of the invention described by correspondents were: 1) that the film had to be run twice as fast as a black and white film (i.e. 32 instead of 16 exposures...
