Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Nocturne Several years ago it occurred to me that the lifeless artificial scenery used in theatres could be most effectually replaced by cinema-views of people and objects, cast from behind the screen, and made to harmonise with the acting on the stage. I expected then that so simple an idea would not long remain unexploited, and so did not trouble to make use of it. But reflection proves that the simplest theories are those which generally escape notice; and that many people refrain from putting their theories into practice, because they infer their fallibility, since such theories have not already been employed. In brief, this new method combines the features of both stage and cinema which are merged in each other as in a cyclorama, and between which there is so much interaction as to unify stage and screen into a fresh vehicle possessing the limitations of neither having neither - the inarticulateness of the biograph-screen, nor the crude unreality of the stage in all outdoor scenes where the presentation of people in the distance and of traffic is, in fact, quite impossible; for which reason all stage-craft is circumscribed and in practice confined almost altogether to the representation of interiors. By this new method people (or even motor cars, cabs, carts, bicycles, flocks of sheep, dogs, birds, and so forth) can be represented in a perfectly natural manner, the dramatic illusion being greatly intensified by the fact that they can be seen passing from stage to screen, and from screen to stage either per the wings or else through some opening in the screen (or screens), this opening being concealed from the audience by some appropriate objects on the stage, such as a bathing-tent, pillar-box, summer-house, bush, heap of rubble or timber, or stationary waggon; or it would, in a dim light, be possible for actors to enter directly through slits cut in the screen. The advantages accruing to this method are many and remarkable, the range and scope of the combined cinema-stage being enormously increased.
