Small film iana, the 16mm. department so ably edited by Walter Bluemel, will present another instructive article along lines of practical production. Charles Felstead, associate editor and sound recording engineer, who is taking a vacation this month, will be represented in the )une issue by Chapter IX of Motion Picture Sound Recording. Augustus Wolfman will offer his admiring readers several more sheets from his note book on Miniature Camera Photography. Mr. Wolman's department is a regular feature of the magazine. Mr. Charles P. Boyle, inventor, manager and sole owner of "Out of Focus," our comic feature so popular with his fellow cameramen, will offer something slightly different in the June issue. Earl Theisen will grace the June issue with one of his most interesting articles — valuable to technicians and interesting to the general reader. His subject is "Tricks" and it is in every way a feature article. Paul R. Harmer, who has been attracting attention with his practical articles on studio technique, has promised another useful and interesting story and he may tell us also about shooting volcanos at short range. And there are a lot more interesting yarns coming up. And by the way the subscription price of International Photographer is only $2.00.
