International photographer (Jan-Dec 1934)

Twenty-six T h INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER April,1934 picture is to the eye, and a skillful combination of the two is of considerable benefit to each. It will be noticed that if the picture is sufficiently engrossing the musical score will always be subsidiary — its effect being subconscious— which again proves the fact that the visual is more powerful. PART OF THE STORY OF LIGHTING (Continued from Page 12) Such is a part of the history of lighting. It is such a small portion of it. There is the high speed rotary made by Ide in 1920, there are the experiments of a large number who dreamed of the perfect light, there is the hurrying and scampering of the "juicers" who had to nurse and trim the early arcs to keep them going. There are those who said lights would never be used and there are those who, perhaps far in advance of their time, used a light similar to the neon light. They were, according to Steve Hansen, the Swedish Biograph, who in 1920 equipped their studio with the MacFarlane Moore tubes. Lighting and artistry in photography at its best today is such that it seems impossible that improvements could be made. Improvements will be made ; the stuff on the screen today is the stepping stone for that coming tomorrow. "To better conditions," says Ruby Wallace, "we must have experience to guide us." To Lou Blix, Charles Munroe, Duke Daggy, Gary Sullivan, Lou Johnson, Ernie Simpson, Roger Nauman, Phil Coats, Wally Oettel, Frank Murphy, Leo Whistler, Bill Johnson and scores of others goes the credit of the lighting on the screen today. To them should be accorded THANKS! They are the "gaffers." ACADEMY RESEARCH COUNCIL (Continued from Page 9) Rudolph, Theodore Soderberg, Al Tondreau, A. G. Wise, R. C. Willman.

SAYS GEORGE H. SCHEIBE: Many an amateur I have heard say: "I wish 1 could use your filters on my camera to produce the many effects I often see on the theatre screen, but what kind of a holder should I use?" That's still the big question of today. Holders in use today are mostly of the cell type and slip over the lens. Naturally this means a holder for every diameter of lens and too, a filter to tit it. The ideal holder is the type used on the 35 mm. motion picture cameras. This holder has three distinct adjustments — one to vary the space between the lens and the filter — a side to side movement and an up and down to permit the correct use of Graduated Sky Filters and various irises for close-ups and inserts. Such a type of holder can be made to fit all amateur cameras; attached to the camera (not on the lens) and accommodating 2x2 square filters. The amateurs want just such a holder, so get busy, camera accessories manufacturers, and bring out a reasonably priced one — it should sell fast evervwhere it is shown.
