Because of lack of time to complete Fred Westerberg's second series of CINEMATOCRAPHER'S BOOK OF TABLES, the event has been set back to November. Associate Editor Charles Felstead will offer to his readers the fourteenth chapter of his scholarly treatise on Motion Picture Sound Recording. Charles P. Boyle, clever editor of "Out of Focus," will appear as usual in one of his delightful fantasies. Get the habit of reading his stuff. Paul E. Bowles, pinch hitting for Walter Bluemel in this issue, will present Part II of the "Relationship Between Continuity and Cutting." Augustus Wolfman, Walter Bluemel, Paul Harmer, Bob Hussey, Robert Tobey, Lewis W. Physioc and others of our staff and contributors will be represented with offerings of unusual interest to their readers. "The Mechanism of Vision," by the noted English author, lecturer and philosopher, Geoffrey Hodson, will appear without fail and every one interested in the occult should be sure to read it . Cinematographers, especially, will have an opportunity to consider vision from a standpoint opposed to the purely mechanical side.
