When he was but a small child and had traded his brother his tin soldiers for the brothers newly received Cinematograph.

He described loading the film strip and then...

"A picture of a meadow appeared on the wall. Asleep in the meadow was a young woman apparently wearing national costume. Then I turned the handle! It is impossible to describe this. I can't find word to express my excitement. But at any time I can recall the smell of the hot metal, the scent of mothballs and dust in the wardrobe, the feel of the crank against my hand. I can see the trembling rectangle on the wall.

I turned the handle and the girl woke up, sat up, slowly got up, stretched her arms out, swung round and disappeared to the riht. If I went on turning, she would again lie there, then make exactly the same movements all over again.

She was moving. "

Wonderful and later his love with the Lanterna and his parent who was changing the rule and adding features.
He was a real movie maker.
And a theater man, who put- la flute enchant�e on celluloid.
- Yes, clearly he lived and breathed film-making. - sjb 14:20:50 09/02/07 (0)
  It was part of the very essence of his being.
  
  That he was also a world class theater director does not diminish him as a film-maker in any way... it only adds to his overall greatness (Tin knows this he was just trying to be provacative... Auph may really believe what he wrote though).
