14 minutes in one. Picture sheet. On account of the fire laws here, Gardner was unable to use his moving pictures machine behind the screen and worked it from the front. But the audience did not know the difference, and it went over in great shape. One of the best novelties we have played in a long time. If Gardner can work this effect from the front, he can save the expense of toting a moving picture booth, machine and operator around the country, and make quite a cut. But it must be admitted that the figures are much larger when throw from the front, whereas the other way they are life-size, and he can shake hands with them.
