Show WORK FOR CLOUD SPOTTER Humble but Indispensable Adjunct in the Process of Taking 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 notifies his employer, a moving- picture maker, of the condition condi-tion of the heavens. : ; "You see, for an elaborate moving-picture moving-picture play a steady, uniform light is essential. The pictures must be taken all in sunshine or all in clear gray light. Otherwise they; differ.7" Some-Era Some-Era wveak and some strong. They don't match on the screen. So the cloud spotter on the roof, searching the heavens with his glass, studying the course and velocity of tlie wind, as: sures his boss of a good half-hour or hour, for photographing a moving-picture play, and thus saves a waste of films that would otherwise be many times larger than his frugal salary." |
