Abstract
The Movies, our perennially infant industry, is no longer so infantile. Many of its first pewlings have already been engulfed in the oblivion of forgotten things. Trick photography was much employed in the production of the first French films. These were extensively “duped” in this country to feed the maw of the first Nickelodeons and store shows that have almost passed from memory. The first efforts of the various producers allied under the banner of the Patents Company made many similar films, some of which attained considerable popularity. “Dreams of a Welch Rarebit Fiend,” “A Trip to Mars,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Princess Nicotine,” “The Yarn of the Nancy Bell,” “The Absent Minded Professor,” and “The Star of Bethlehem” are names of some of the old trick films made in America that may recall ancient history to the minds of some of my older listeners.
