VITAMIN'S IN FILM
LATEST FAD OF SCIRNCE. EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS. ( It occurred to a French scientist a little while back that the powerful light to which strips of film are subjected in the cinema might have the effect of putting vitamins into them, just as the sun puts vitamins into the leaves of let- . tuces and cabbages. He therefore exI perimented by feeding sickly rats on
scrapings from old films, and found that their health improved enormously ! The far-reaching results of these experiments are yet to be seen. A few inches of an old Greta Garbo or a foot or so of Douglas Fairbanks may be worth thousands in years to come, not for what it will throw on the screen, but for its physical nutritive qualities. Press agents will perhaps boast of a film star’s propensity for throwing off vitamin D rather than her gathering in of husbands with sex appeal
