P3D RE: P3D 1st 3-D Movie

<<William Friese-Greene may well have photographed stereoscopic motion
pictures in 1893 as Arthur Judge in his "Stereoscopic Photography" and
Michael Starks (in a recent post here) has stated but the reservations that
Al Razutis has expressed about his priority are well founded:

"1. Was this a 'motion picture' in the sense that we know it today (it does
not appear to contain sprocket holes, intermittent pull-down motion, or is
even clearly a 'projected' film)?  What was its subject matter, title, and
when was it first publicly projected?>>

Sorry I'm just catching up on this discuusion, been out of town.

The Friese-Green camera uses a beater bar mechanism for the intermittent 
pulldown.  It's slow and clumsly of course, especially in the large format he 
was using for the side-by-side stereo pairs; I don't think he could achieve a 
frame rate faster than around five frames a second.
