Movie Makers (Jan-May 1928)

since the first issue we all felt the magazine was destined to play an important part in the development of amateur movies. The magazine has made wonderful strides and has been a great source of satisfaction to those of us who have been working for its growth and prosperity. "Amateur Movie Makers is the courier that goes into the home of every 16 mm. enthusiast, carrying the message of Amateur Cinematography. "The day is not far distant when the home will not be complete unless an amateur movie camera and projector are in it, and Amateur Movie Makers, with its first issue of thirtythree pages, and at this writing over double the number, will be just as much a part of this necessary equipment. "Best wishes to Amateur Movie Makers, and congratulations on your first anniversary. May your life be ever so long." ROBERT S. CULLEN of William C. Cullen, New York City, addressed the following salutations: "On the date of your first birthday, allow me to present my compliments and best wishes. "I feel that Amateur Movie Makers has done more toward bringing the manufacturers and dealers together on common ground with the movie amateurs than any other agency. William C. Cullen has made many friends whom we would not have met had it not been for your magazine. "May your good work continue as effectively in the future as it has in your first year of movie making." RALPH R. ENO, maker of Eno's Art Titles, writes: "As a pioneer in the building of Art Titles for the amateur, I feel much indebted to the good offices of the A. C. L. It has been my pleasure to be associated with the A. C. L. from its very birth. The League has certainly done a splendid work. "It has been my pleasure to have advertised in Amateur Movie Makers from the very first issue. Words fail to express my appreciation of that magazine. The valuable assistance it has rendered, the courtesy I have received at the hands of its management and the straightforwardness of its methods surely are a credit to the League. "I doubt not that I am voicing the opinion of its thousands of friends when I wish Amateur Movie Makers the happiest of birthdays and, if possible, even greater success."
