Clarke, Nicholls, and Coombs was used, and the whole of the operation of making practically every form of confectionery is shown throughout. The opening scene shows the sugar being unloaded at the wharf and carried to the factory on a traveling crane, and of the melting operations which follow in huge vats. Next is shown gums being cast into the shape in which they are purchased in the shops. The method of treating boiled sweets is next depicted. The plastic mass as it leaves the vat is placed on a smooth flat surface and vigorously kneaded by hand before being cut into small squares for treatment by other workmen. The manufacture of "pralines," " bull's-eyes," and "dragees" is also illustrated. A huge roll of the usual striped black and white appears, is gradually pulled out until little more than in. thick, when it is chopped into small sections-the bull's-eyes beloved of children. The coating of almonds is also shown, and after other illustrations, the packing of the sweets and the delivery of the finished box to a lady concludes a fascinating subject.
