Another guide would be four syllables per second, which is about the same as four words per foot since a foot takes 1 2/3 seconds. Oscar H. Horovitz, FACL League Fellow Horovitz is correct in his correction, and we have disciplined the offending typewriter finger. This must have been the same erring digit which caused us to write in August (see Now, Magnetic On 8!) that 200 feet of 8mm. magna-striped film would create 24 minutes of sound movies. The correct footage clearly should have been 400 feet — projected at 24 frames per second. . . . Since no eagle-eyed reader has yet caught that boner, we take this opportunity to beat them to it. MODEST FEE Dear ACL: A year or so ago I became interested in amateur movie making and, always eager to improve my technique, I joined your League several months ago. During a recent visit to New York, I had the opportunity of stopping in at ACL headquarters and chatting with Don Charbonneau. He seemed to me to be the best informed person in the field I have yet talked with. On leaving his office, I felt that the modest fee for membership in the Amateur Cinema League was the best investment I had ever made. Ralph H. Love, ACL Hartford. Conn. VERY LONELY Dear ACL: Your companion Movie Makers is beautiful dream to me. I'm very lonely if it is sent to me with delay. Have you a book cover which can politely reserve it forever? I want the book cover which contains six books. Shigemato Eigabu Matsuyama, Japan We do have a book cover (binder) for Movie Makers which reserves twelve, or a year's, copies. $3.50 postpaid anywhere. JAPANESE LENSES Dear Mr. Moore: After reading Masao Uno's Japan Reporting, I would like to add a bit to his short statement that the country offers no new 16mm. camera lenses. For your knowledge, there is available the Elitar 3 inch //2.5 telephoto lens in standard C mount, as well as the complete line of Elitar lenses for 8mm. movie cameras. S. J. SCHEFF Sales Manager Interstate Photo Supply Corp. New York 10, N. Y. BACK COPIES OFFERED Sirs: If you know of someone who could use about four years of Movie Makers, I think I could oblige — if they are willing to pay shipping costs. C. Fox 1429 Broadway Hewlett, L.
