Behind the scenes • • HAVEN 1RECKER,ACL WASHINGTON, D. C.-The newest development in sound movie making took the spotlight this year when the "Top of the Ten Best" films were premiered by the Washington Society of Cinematographers before an enthusiastic audience in the nation's capital. With the introduction of magnetic sound on film last year by Bell & Howell, the production of amateur movies with sound was made easy and inexpensive ... as demonstrated by this showing of Maxim Award-winning films. Haven Trecker, whose sound film, "Bulbs and Beauty," was chosen by the Amateur Cinema League as one of the ten best for 1952, has called this development in sound "... one of the biggest thrills of home movie making." This year, all ten films were soundstriped* at the Bell & Howell laboratories. Then each winner recorded his sound with a Filmosound 202. Simple controls make it possible to reverse the film and erase recording errors as often as necessary. Projection of the film with sound can be made immediately after recording is completed. Bell & Howell is proud to have had a part once again in the successes enjoyed by all ten winners. For any movie maker— beginner or advanced amateur— there is Bell & Howell equipment to fit your purse and purpose. It's the choice of amateurs and professionals the world over. For more information about this fine equipment, see your authorized Bell & Howell dealer, or call Western Union Operator 25. of this year's world premiere of the ^Top of the Ten Best" films! "BULBS AND BEAUTY," Haven Trecker's award-winning sound film, presents the Momence, Illinois, Gladiolus Festival in all its gorgeous color. Sound was added after the processed film had been soundstriped at the Bell & Howell laboratories. *SOUNDSTRIPE is the iron oxide sound track that can be applied to any 16mm film, both single and double-perforated. Even optical sound films can have soundstripe added without harming the original optical track. Filmosound 202 . . . from $699. JjGII & HOWCll ma^es it f JUL to make ;0VjU/l& z\ movies: f
