REELED EMOTION
At the film studios they measure emotion by the yard. It is said that an actor needs an average of 18ft. of film, 12 seconds running time, to show that he is really hurt or shocked. He can register joy in exactly a third of the time. Fear and defiance are also quickly registered, each requiring 6ft to 9ft of celluloid. Fury and hysteria, however, are almost as slowly recorded as shock, with fright, terror, and horror following in order ol slowness.
