September 1933 INTERNATIONAL PROJECTIONIST 27 ducers being able to announce two days after the strike began that not less than 120 cameramen had returned to work, in defiance of their leaders' instructions. Sound men, particularly, lire said to have immediately opened negotiations looking toward affiliation with the I. B. E. W. At one big Hollywood opening, which required the services of projectionists, stagehands, carpenters, sound men, cameramen and others, every man on the job is reported to have held cards in at least two internationals. I. B. E. W. headquarters in Washington kept quiet and looked wise, in sharp contrast to the numerous spirited statements issued by I. A. officials, and this attitude was interpreted by close observers as indicating the I. B. E. W.'s feeling of confidence as to the final outcome. Within the A. F. of L. the I. B. E. W. is much better situated than the I. A., commanding more votes and enjoying more prestige. Also, an I. B. E. W. official is a member of the A. F. of L. Council. While the I. B. E. W. has for years taken the stand that its members are entitled to projection room work, it is felt that this phase of the dispute will be worked over by I. B. E. W. more as a talking point or as the basis for a compromise. No one expects that the I. B. E. W. will emerge from the fight with jurisdictional rights extending beyond the studios, despite the large number of I. B. E. W. men presently holding motion picture operating licenses. RECENT ADVANCES IN ART OF TELEVISION 'T'ELEVISION has been the beneficiary of extensive favorable publicity within recent weeks in both the technical and newspaper press, with particular emphasis having been laid upon the probable effect of this baby science upon the entertainment world, including motion pictures and radio, as at present constituted. Two of the most interesting statements anent television are appended hereto in abstract form, the first being taken from an article, "Electrical Transmission of Pictures," which appeared in The Index published by the New York Trust Company, as follows: Television, according to the definition adopted by the Institute of Radio Engineers, is "the electrical transmission and reception of transient visual images." It might be added that the transmission and reception are practically simultaneous. Television in the United States today is exclusively experimental. 30 U. S. Stations Operating The first public demonstration of television was given in 1925 and consisted of sending outlines of simple subjects. It was not until January 27, 1926, that J. L. Baird, before the Royal '^ Why do Projectionists Prefer SONOLUX Exciters? The answer is simple: because SONOLUX Exciting Lamps deliver the goods — not on paper, not in the carton, but under actual projection room operating conditions. As a matter of fact, projectionists made SONOLUX Exciters, by subjecting them to the severest tests for amount and quality of light, for uniformity and, most of all, for long life. SONOLUX Exciters really is just another term for long life. SONOLUX thus stands alone in projectionist favor on the basis of quality and economy. Try a SONOLUX today and be convinced. If your favorite supply dealer cannot supply you, write direct to SONOLUX. SONOLUX quality is matched by SONOLUX progressiveness. Tlie SONOLUX CO. is in complete sympathy with the current program to win for Labor its rightful share of the fruits of Labor, and this attitude is reflected in the acceptance by SONOLUX of the President's blanket NRA Code— on the first day it was issued !
