EXTRACT OF WILD FLOWER

LONDON, October 14

'The People, a conservative. Sunday newspjpey, .describes, a .discovery made by, a Liverpool cheipist as the greatest since radio. Men will be enabled, it says, to don spectacles and see as clearly in- a fog or in darkness as in brilliant sunshine.

; The discovery is a chemical compound extracted from a. wild flower, and when applied in an emulsion fo r cinema films it;permits of the projection of pictures in. their natural colours with the same depth ias ordinary vision—-more real than the finest stereoscopic effects. : Eour-ipemiywwth of the mixture will be sufficient, it is stated, .to treat; 1000 ft. of film, and .the additional photographing projection ajjpaatytjis cos;s only a few. pounds.

Successful demonstrations were held recently in a cinema at Great .Crosby, in Lancashire.

Dr G-oebbels, German Minister for Enlightenment and Propaganda, ,is seeking the German irights for the invention, for which the claim is also made that it will permit of film s he;ng taken in a fog. The invention make s the thinner garments worn, by film actresses transparent. liedroom' scenes will thus become impossible, a s flesh tint s will be clearly visible. t ■ ■
