Romantic interest attaches to thei announcement of the forthcoming marriage, of Baroness Furnivall to Lieut. A. W. Shelton Agar, V.C. DSC, writes a Daily Chronicle repre sentative.

Twenty years of age, the prospec tive bride became the holder of the title when she was 13. One of the oldest in the country, the barony had been in abeyance since 1777. The first Baron served with distinction in the Scottish war in the time of Ed- ward I. His son was fined £200 for marrying a heiress without the con sent of the King.. The third Baron fought at Crecy

In 1913 the Committee of Privi- leges of the House of Lords recom- mended the King to determine the Babeyance in the ancient (barony, and the Baroness thus became a peeress in her own right. {

Last year public interest was aroused in the young peerers by her engagement to Mr. R. Broughton Adderley, but it was announced shortly after that the engagement had been broken off.

Now it well, possibly the studio wizard the skill consisted in eo placing the has put one over on you. camera that the curb lines on which the people "stood far back of the "giant" were caught by the lens while the "giant" was kept in per fect perspective.

He was a "close-up" and they were a "long-shot"-all in the same scene. Yet the screen seems to show throngs following the walking colosers on an even line with him, when in fact they were nearly one hundred feet back. It illustrates what a lens in the hands of a master of the camera's me chanism and of optics and perspective can be made to do.

An amusing piece of faking was done under Hall's master hand in a fairy play. They asked him to conceive some way in which a dragon could be shown pursuing children. Hall got a young denizen of one of the Southern California alligator farms and “dolled it up" with borns, claws, and other accout- rements of a husky dragon. Then he had the children photographed running up steps to a refuge in an enchanted tower.

Running the film. back, he made a second exposure showing the dragon crossing the foreground in all his horrific design, crawling up the steps and finding himself baffled by the enchanted doorsill.

"May be we didn't have a time making that dragon act his role," said Hall The skill of the thing consisted in the mathematical accuracy with which the double exposure had to be done. The Ulusion was perfect.

This and kindred stunts (like a fairy rising out of the bowl of a man's pipe); were first done by a French "kinematogra pher named Paul, but Americans have developed the idea.
