Stewart of the America and Iris theaters to the members of the Cas- per Kiwanis club today. Mr. Stew- art also took up the distributing end of the motion picture industry and gave some pertinent facts, Ramon and Kavanaugh, a duo that are featured as entertainers with the musical comedy at the Wyoming theater, sang several numbers before the Kiwanis club. ‘They chose songs conspicuous for their lightness and liveliness. It Was a worth while entertainment. It was announced that the second series of contests held by the stu- dents of the high school under the auspices of the Kiwants club would take place tomorrow evening. These contests will be confined to declama- tion, oratorical, dramaze and hu- morous. 8. EH. Bailey, the Rev. R. R. Hildebrand and W. W. Slack were appointed as judges. Leigh Townsend invited the mem- bers of the club to inspect the new Townsend hotel which is opened today on North Center street. In his talk regarding motion pie- tures Mr. Stewart outlined the physical law which makes possible the illusion of a “moving” picture. “Now the first thing ‘Why Mov- ing Pictures Move,’ is going to take very little time to explain. At each place today you will find one foot of motion picture film. This is what is known as the positive film, or the print that is projected onte the screen. Feature pictures vary in length from 6,000 to 8,000 feet. and come to us on reels containing 1,000 feet each. “You will notice that there are 16 small exposures, or individua} pictures to the foot of film you have in front of you. That film is run through the profecting machine at the rate of one foot per second, or 16 exposures per second. Physics tell us that it takes an object one’ tenth of a second to make Sts im- pression on the retina of the eye. Now to demonstrate this fact, I am going to take this little flashlight, pretend that it Js a glowing stick taken from a bonfire. Every man has done this trick when a boy, By whirling the glowing stick you'll observe that the faster it is whirled, the nearer complete will be the circle, and if you whirl it at a speed of 10 revolutions per second, the illusion will be a complete circle, showing that the first position is just making its impression when the circle has been completed. This is the reason“ for 16 exposures to the second on motion picture film. Hach one ts an individual picture and is shown on the screen for a period of about one twentieth of a second. Then the intermittant de- vice moves it to the next exposure, while @ revolving shutter cuts the Ught off the screen. With these in- dividual pictures changing quicker than the eye can take the impres- sion to the brain, you have. the illusion of motion, If the project- ing machine were slowed down, to say five exposure per second, you would see an actor’s hand jump from one position to the next in+ stead of moving, That much for ‘Why Moving Pictures Move.’ “It might be interesting to know how films are made and distributed. The negative film is photographed in the camera, just the same as you would take a kodak picture, except that the film is running through the camera at 16 exposures per sec- ond, and catches the action on the negative film, which is similar to the positive {lm you have tn front of you. This negative is developed and assembled in its correct con- tinulty, and from this negative any number of positive prints can be made, the same as prints can be made from your kodak films. “The distributing companies have branches in all the principle cities of the United States, and many in forelgn countries, Each of the exchanges, as they are called, celve enough prints of each piature to supply their respective territories, numbering from two to 20 prints. “The United Artists Exchan, in New York had over 200 prints of Charlie Chaplin's picture, ‘The Pil- grim,’ for use in New York City alone. This did not include the prints for out of town use. The prints made for the entire United States ond foreign countries on many pictures will run into thou- sands. That is why the same mo- tion picture can be seen in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Lon- don, Paris and Casper the same day.
