Show WORK FOR CLOUD SPOTTER Humble but lndlspenabl Adjunct In tho Process of Taking Moving Mov-ing Pictures. "Among the new jobs that modern life has originated," said a statistician, "that of the cloud spotter Is Interesting Interest-ing and odd. The cloud spotter doesn't, of course, make spots on .clouds. No, no. He stand on a high roof with a costly field glass and he continually notlflos his employer, a moving- picture maker, of the condition condi-tion of the heavens. "You see, for an elaborate movlcg-plcture movlcg-plcture play a steady, uniform light Is essential. The pictures must be taken all in sunshine or all In clear gray light. Otherwlso thoy differ. Some are weak and somo strong. They don't match on the screen. So the cloud spotter on tho roof, searching the beavena with his glass, studying tho courue and velocity of the wind, assures as-sures his boss of a good half-hour or hour for photographing a movlng-plc-ture play, and thus saves a waste of films that would otherwise be many times larger than his frugal Bulary." |
