Show Creative . Power of the KinetogccjH- An odd experiment with the kinetoscope took place not long sgo in Boston. Tho subject was a man eating dinner, and the film, prepared especially for the occasion, occas-ion, was of unusual length, so that the whole performance could bo recorded. The man . entered tho - room, and, seating himself at a table, proceeded to cut up the food. Tho motion of the fork from the plate to his lips was carefully recorded, re-corded, until the last morsel of food had vanished. Then he arose and walked out of the room, leaving leav-ing nothing on the table but bare dish as. The series of pictures was then reversed. It showed the man entering the room, walking , backward. Ho sat down at the f table, upon which, there was noth ing but bare dishes, and proceeded to extract food from his lips until lie had filled the potato dish with i potatoes and gradually put togeth er a stake on the platter before iiim. Then he calmly backed out ' of the room and tho waiter did likewise with the meal that, the man had apparentny created. Kansas City Star. 2 MWMBMNMMMWWMMM |
