MONTAqE f (Continued from page 3) of Special Effects work is peculiarly and happily fitted to cope with all of the constantly arising problems of novel effects and scenes. His crew with Dalzell and Bell have been assigned to him for like reasons of greatly varied experience. Director Siegel and Cinematographer Burks like to point with satisfaction to ringing the bell successfully in such pictures for Warner Bros, as: "All This and Heaven Too," '"Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet," "The Fighting 69th," "My Love Came Back," "Sea Hawk," "They Drive Bv Night," "Til We Meet Again" and "The Lady with Red Hair." Part of their satisfaction which is particularly gratifying is the fact that their technique has been clever enough to conceal to any but the initiated that in these pictures there is any such thing as a montage! Watson Booklet Burke & James announce that the new Watson Booklet, just off the press, is available free to readers of International Photographer. Address Burke & James, 223 W. Madison St., Chicago. RETRACTION • In the last issue of International Photographer an article headed "Special Effects at R.K.O." should have been headed "Cosgrove Special Effects Department of David 0. Selznick Productions." This department, under the technical supervision of Clarence Slifer, has been responsible for all of the fine Technicolor and black and white special effects on productions, "Gone with the Wind," "Rebecca," "A Star is Born," "Garden of Allah. "Tom Sawyer," "Prisoner of Zenda," etc. Much of the equipment developed for these productions has been accepted by many of the various studios. At the present time the department is engaged in several new ideas which should revolutionize the Special Effects field. This still by Elmer Fryer shows the crew in operation shooting James Cagney in Warner Bros. Production, "Strawberry Blonde."
