One of the best evidences of Mr. Mor- risey’s success is the fact that he has made the Orpheum the favorite resort of the omen and children of the best families in the city. There is probably no man in local theatrical circles bet- ter known or better liked than John Morrisey.

BY GEORGE W. GILSON. That which we find most advantageous to a beginner is a plate that will require at least two or three seconds exposure on a landscape in good strong light. After we have worn off the “scare’” which we feel at first it will be ample time to take up the more rapid brands of plate. The plates come one dozen in a box. When we open them we find they are packed face to | face. That js, the film sides are facing. They are of a creamy white and should only be opened by a ruby light in a room that Is otherwise perfectly dark. See that {no light enters the room from cracks around the doors or windows. All white light should be completely shut off. In making your ruby light you can use an ordinary window, shutting oft all the light except one pane of glass. Over this place one sheet of what is known as ‘postof- fice” paper. It can be obtained from al- | most any postoffice or stockhouse and is | of a deep yellow: color. . Over this paper | place one sheet of “raby” paper, which can be obtained from any stock house. You will find that in most cases th's light will be perfectly safe, but it should be { tested before using. To test it take one | of the plates from the box, in total dark- |ness, and wrap a sheet of perfectly { opaque paper around half of - it. (The | black paper which comes around the plates in_each box will answer the pur- pose admirably.) Now expose the other | half of the plate to the light, about one foot distant from it, for about five min- utes, after which develop (we will speak of developing later on) it in total dark- ness. If there is no change in the end of | the plate that was exposed to the ljght we | mgy feel sure the light is safe. If, how- | e¥er, it is found that halt of the plate | has developed darker than the end that | was covered by the paper it indicates that the light is too strong..-To remedy it we | should add one more thickness of the post- | office paper.

(The darkroom will be treated separately.) Now that we have our light safe we can open the box of plates without any fear of ruining them. The next move is to load the holder. There are many styles of ‘holders on the market, but as a usual thing the holders are arranged to hold two plates. They are what we might call a thin box in which the plates are placed. They are from one-half to one inch in thickness and whatever width and length your camera is capable of making in a pic- ture. There are two “slides” that fit into the holder. When we start in to load we will draw the slides and take a plate from the box and lay in the bolder, in narrow grooves that run round the edge of the holder for that purpose, with the film side of the plate ‘“‘out,” or toward. the | “slide.” ~After the plate is in the grooves we then replace the “slides.” It will be noticed that one side of the slide is black. When loading the slides the black side should be placed next to the plate. When we have made an exposure we return the slide with. this black side out to denote that the plate it covers has been ex- posed and proceed to load the other side of the Molder in the same manner. To tell which is the film side of a plate we | should hold it so that we can *el a re- flection on the plate from our light. It will be noticed that one side of the plate shows a strong reflection. "“The other side has a dull appearance, somewhat resemb- ling ground glass. This is the film side. Before placing the plate In the holder we should dust the film with a soft camel- hair brush, about two inches wide, The reason we do this is to remove any dust that may be on the plate, and by this means we avoid “dust spots” in our nega- tive. This dusting of the film must be done in a very careful way. Only dust one way. Do not go from one end of the plate to the other and then back to the other end. If you do this gol.l will take the dust off one way and bring it back on the other way. The proper way to do is to take the plate in the left hand, hold- ing it so that the thumb is on one edge | and the middle finger on the other edge, with the film side of the E“"“ up. Take the brush in the right hand and dust from the top of the plate down to the bottom. Then go bn‘;:l to mco't:: v‘e‘x\'g down again, and so on, ;lc:?vel . It wéndun fast we will electrify the film, and every particle of dust fl{h‘l' about 1n the air will settle on the plate. Be careful not to touch the film with the Ho—o+0+0+0+0+0—0—.

It s just as important. too, that we do mot ouch the back of the plate with the fin- | gers, for it may be that Some time we will have the film of one plate come in contact with the back of the plate that the fingers have n on.

The presence of this “hypo” in the box will sfain or discolor the plate if it comes in contact with the film. thus caus- ing the plate to become worthless. There- fore when a plate is taken from the box be careful to. wrap the remaining plates again with the black paper, after which replace the lid to the box. when there need be na fear of the plates getting :;gh(-slruck if the box is in good cendi- on. Plates shouid be kept, both before and after exposure, in a cool, dry place. If they are kept in a damp place the film, which is of an absorbent nature, will ab- sorb the atmosphere and become damp and sticky and this, of course, renders the plate useless. If the plates are kept in a warm room they will soon deterior- ate.. After we have the holder loaded ‘we should wrap it in black felt cloth until we are ready to place it in the camera for the exposure. This further insures our plate from being light-struck. One ean- not be too careful in handling his_plates to prevent them being light-struck. We are now ready to take the field for our first exposure. IV.—CHOICE OF SUBJECT. The selection of a subject is most im- portant and to get a pleasing picture thera are certain principles which should be re- membered so that when a view is being selected the finished photograph will maks a_picture worth looking at, a pleasure to him who looks at it and a source of grati- fication to the maker. Briefly, the points for consideration may be said to consist of balance, contrast, clouds, lighting and foreground. The first named is the inclusion of more or less prominent objects to the sides of the picture, so that one may have the ef- fect of balancing the other. These should not be of equal size: the artistic effect will be more-pronounced if unegual; a bush,-clumps of rushes or a broken branch will often be all that is required to correct the lopsided look that we too frequently see in landscape pictures. Sec- ondly, a picture without con‘-ast always looks flat and uninteresting. it should be the aim of the artist to make this con- trast gradual, never sudden or abrupt, the bright lights merging Into the shadows without harsh or decided lines, and both lights and shades so disposed as to pre- serve,the necessary balance. A bright white Yobject on one side of the picture will throw the picture out unless some similar light object can be included on the other side. On-this subject it may be noted that the contrast given by under- exposure—or the want of it, the result of overexposure—is not art. What is to be admired is the soft print, with plenty of contrast, but with the softness of nature retained. Clouds may be designated nature’s back- ground, and to obtain an effective picture a proper background is as necessary as a suitable foreground. Nothing gives a pic- ture such a finished appearance as a cloud effect; it is not always that clouds can be obtained on the same negative as the picture itself, but when possible the effect is always the t. Methods of obtaining sky and cloud ple- tures will be treated of later on. The sub- Ject of lighting is of the utmost import- ance, and 1s probably the most difficult to deal with, and for this reason deserves all the more study. We are aware that a view will look entirely different at various pe- riods of the day. When the sun is low in the horizon it throws long, heavy shad- ows both morning and evening, and when in the zenith it gives scarcely any shadow at all except underneath. Then, too, from the gosluan we take up the sun may fall on the object, showing all detall distinct- 1y, or it may be behind the object, thruw- ing the side next to us into comparative darkness. All these give different effects to the scene, and we should study the view under the varying conditions 3o as to select that lighting which will give the best result for the object we have set be- fore us. When the sun is full on the scena and nearly vertical the resulting picture will be generally flat and wanting in con- trast; good effects, with plenty of lght and shads, can be had with the sun mors or less to one side of the view; and at times, with the light slightly behind the chosen portion, a very pleasing t may be secured. lowever, no hard and fast rule can be laid down, the icular light that will suit one scene will not suit an- other, consequently the choice must be left to the individual, whose object in every case should be the securing of a pic- ture conveying in an artistic manner tha impression created in him by the w, and the better he is able to show in his ‘work that impression the more claims will* he have to be an artist. Again, the subject of foreground is an important factor, as without somethin, the nearer view there is a blank which is at once noticeable. It should, however, not be so pronounced as to draw the attention from the main subject of the picture, but must rather be in subjection to it, and if possible should be broken up. For exam- ple, the mest charming cottage will be spoiled by a large lawn or broad roadway in front, unless, indeed, it is possibls to include, say, a horse and buggy, a souple of children or even a dog ‘“‘to break th effect” and draw the attention from the unsightly expanse. In like manner a retty view may be destroved by a broad Patervening ficld or stretoh of water. but put a couple of cows on one or a boat on the other and the whole picture !s changed. The above hints are not by any means complete, but are given as an indlcation of what may be effected by selection. It must be kept clearly in mind that to get an artistic result one must study the va- rious components which are to be included in the picture. One must have patience and the faculty of observation. Having decided upon the view, do mot be in tos great a hurry to take the picture. Con- sider what is the best position, form vour opinion as to the most suitable light. and when these are decided and the timse is opportune expese your plate. Note—This subject will be next week.
