In these days when the " picture palace " is

becoming a serious rival to the theatre, and when Mr. Chaplin is even more celebrated than Mr. Lauder, The Cinematograph Book, by Mr. Bernard E. Jones (Cassell and Co., 2s. 6d. net), is likely to interest many readers. It gives an account of the technique of taking and projecting cinematograph pictures; and, though primarily intended for professional photographers, it is not too technical to he understood by others. It would certainly be read with pleasure by schoolboys of a practical turn of mind.
