IMO%'HE IUy«.ICEIKS ro^e^ecl Home Movies use\\\e Camera that Filmed Sunrise MON THE lOON" CfMIE Sunrise on the moon, from the film made at Princeton University with a Victor lb mm. Camera. 'HINK of having for your own personal use a moving picture camera so accurate of operation and so certain of perfect results that it was selected for the delicate and exacting task of filming the svinrise on the moon! This almost unbelievable feat was recently accomplished at Princeton University by Dr. John Q. Stewart, Assistant Professor of Astronomical Physics, and Robert Fleming Arnott, Consulting Engineer of Upper Montclair, New Jersey. The film, made with a 16 mm. Victor Camera, "discloses in a few minutes what an astronomer views in twice as many hours of constant watching through a powerful telescope." This singvilar achievement has created universal interest, having been fully described in Popular Mechanics, the Illustrated Loudon Neivs, the Neiv York Times and other well known periodicals. The remarkable thing, however, is that the Victor Camera, although capable of performing such difficult and specialized tasks, is the simplest, most easily operated instrument imaginable. Despite the fact that it is the most complete and efficient camera in existence, the Victor is totally lacking in intricate devices and "gadgets" that create confusion and uncertainty. It makes normal, slow motion and comedy quick-action pictures at the mere touch of a button. Closeups, telephoto shots, color pictures, etc., are easier to make than tell about. But you will have to see the Victor to fully appreciate it. Ask for a demonstration today. VICTOR ANIMATOGRAPH CO., DAVENPORT. IOWA— BRANCH OFFICE: 242 W. 55TH ST.. NEW YORK. N. f.
