Show Movies By Phone One more step in the ever advancing advanc-ing art of photographic transmission Dy telephone was taken a few days ago, vhen ten feet of motion picture film, made in Chicago, was transmitted over regular telrphone wires to New York in less than two hours. Telephotography of still pictures has been for some time a regular practice, but this is the first timr. motion picture "ilms have been so transmitted. The new feat was not the result of any new mechanical invention, how-over, how-over, but was accomplished by pasting "!1 smo.ll consecutive motion picture films in three strips side Dy side and sending them as one picture. Then at their destination those small pictures were cut apart and put together end to end as part of the movie film. Tt is expected that the nw method will be employed extensively in tra.is-mitting tra.is-mitting news reels the value of which depends on the rapidity with which they may be sent to distant points for display. For example actual motion picttues of the inaurrua"aio:i of a ;:r-ioiient or other event of national importance, i may now be shown in distant parts of the country within an hour or two after the even takes place, wnereas heretofore the promptness of service i vas governed by the spied of a train ir airplane. |
