The language of a motion picture studio has its own particular jar. gon, unintelligible to the outsider,Į but in which every word carries al définite meaning.

For example, there are perhaps, a hundred terms referring to vari- Qua processce In cutting and hand- Ung Alm, itself-terms, used by the rutters and directors and laboratory men exclusively, and which are quite unknown to three-quarters of the studio personnel.

There are "chemical fadea" and "tap dissolves" and a dozen of more varieties of "wipes," and "glass abota," and "mask shots," and "Mirror dissolves," to name just a few-terms that are significant en- nugh to a cutler, þut to few others, Then there are "moster printa," "scratch prints;" and "working prinis."
