Shadow Magic Page #7

kept in the dark.

I was already in the dark.

Hey! That's me!

Do I look that old?

My camel! That's my camel!

Next should be me!

It is me!

Thrilling!

What do you see?

A man and a camel on a street.

What's so thrilling about that?

Shadow Magic is good for the eyes.

But you can only see it...

not hear it.

Your ears feel something's lacking.

Now that you mention it,

it does seem that way.

That's why you need us

talkative comedians.

We bring the pleasure to your ears.

Shadow Magic has no mercy.

Everything is magnified...

larger than life.

- The thin--

- The fat--

- The round--

- Wrinkle upon wrinkle!

- There's nowhere to hide!

- Nope!

Our people know how to be courteous.

- Can't you tell?

- Look!

How are you?

Have you eaten?

Thank you. My pleasure.

Why do we greet each other like this?

It means:

"I've had the pleasure of eating.

If you haven't,

come to my house."

- Have you eaten?

- My pleasure!

That's too much eating!

Of course! But eating is

the main talent of our civilization!

So true!

Ling! Come in. Please sit.

I want to try.

Here.

Now count evenly.

One, two, three.

My friend Raymond...

explained to me--

He said,

if we love each other...

it's all right to show affection.

I never knew I was so fast!

You're amazing!

That's incredible!

I can't believe my eyes.

Those mountains.

The river--

how it sings.

The horizon--

it seems to extend forever.

That's neat!

My son--

My son did all this!

Ding Jung Shan, the first

Chinese film ever made...

was produced at Feng Tai Studio in 1905

by Liu Jing Lun and Ren Jing Feng.

It starred Peking's legendary

opera singer Lord Tan Xinpei.

At the turn of the century...

a handful of foreigners brought

motion pictures to China.

The name of the first Shadow Magic

showman remains unknown.
