MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION IN SOUTH AMERICA
(Continued from Page 14) Production in the Argentine
There is no company at present that is equipped to produce pictures of the required quality. The company I was with before lias an old Hell & Howell camera and a Debrie developing machine, but has no technicians and needs badly to be reorganized.
Several local people are experimenting in an effort to invent a sound recording machine. This would be the same as if I went out tomorrow on some deserted island trying to invent a vehicle that will run without horses. And they still spend thousands of dollars on tests and tests and tests, instead of wiring ARTREEVES for a complete set. But they will not listen.
The country is beautiful, has the well known Tango and is rich in old legends which could easily be adapted for screen purposes. The possibilities are enormous, but not until foreign technicians will take the matter in their hands and with foreign organization will there be local industry.
The gorgeous countryside lends itself wonderfully to background of even a Hollywood made picture. Some of these days some smart producer will realize the gold mine that no camera has touched as yet. Production cost would be considerably lower than in the States. Of a fairly good picture, Buenos Aires and its province would and should cover the negative cost. Then there is all of South America, Spain, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, etc.
BI-POST LAMP
NOW MADE SIZE
IN 2000WATT
The Incandescent Lamp Department of the General Electric Company, Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio, announces the adaptation of the bi-post base construction to the 2000-watt, 115-volt G-48 bulb lamp.
The application of the bi-post design principle to this popular motion picture studio and spotlight lamp insures
a more rugged lamp and one in which the relative position of the base and light source is determined entirely by the limits of metal working accuracy.
The list price of the lamp is $13.00. Its maximum over-all length, from shoulder of prong to center of filament, is 5 inches, and it has a life of 200 hours.
Note: The new 2000-watt G-48 bulb lamp in bi-post base is shown at right in the attached photograph, with the conventional screw-base design at left.
