CINEMATOGRAPH GHOSTS.
FILM ACTORS' ON : A REAL STACK
Pepper's ghosts would-' turn green with envy if they could return to their 010 haunts and see what smart spectres art now appearing at tho ii*>cala- Theatre, London.
liie cinematograph haa done even more for the ghost than it has for thi cowboy m this new . development at thi Scala. The method is named the Kinoplastikon,'ahd,the startling effect is that figures make their, entrances like real flesh and blood actors, and s dance and sing. There is no screen, and tin figures are able to peep out at the audicneq from behind the wings.
, Presumably it is done by a cinematograph machine placed m the wings, which sheds pictures across the stage at an angle of 45 -degrees to the other wings, the pictures, being reflected from there to the scenery at the back.
