Poor Fritz will never again believe
what he sees, or believe what he
thinks he sees. “When is a tree not a
tree,” is going to become a more terrifying
conundrum to him every day. This is the
reason why:—Moving picture men are
going into the “camouflage” business.
Some of the recruits of a newly or-
ganized United
States Army corps
are experienced
motion picture men.
A full company has
been raised in the
Los Angeles studios
alone. Another
company stands
ready tobe enrolled.
The men are eager to use their skill to
“make up” imitation cannons, tanks, ma- |
chine guns and other grim actors for their
parts at the Front. |
A recent demonstration, held in one of
the great Los Angeles studios, revealed
the possibilities of ‘camouflage.’ The
wizards of illusion raised a village in the
twinkling of an eye; tore it down with
equal dexterity, and in an incredibly
short time substituted a startlingly perfect |
“camouflage” forest. The fairy-tales of |
our youth, in which genii and fairies raised |
and removed castles by magic, seem to |
bid fair to come true in these days of
seeming miracles. |
