MOVIE MAKERS counters at a lesser price. Large dogs are worked on the lion roar. Small dog barks can be done on a ten cent toy to be found almost anywhere. A bird whistle will cost a dime. For chirp effects and young chickens use a cork on a sheet of glass. The cork should be about two inches in diameter and of good quality. Wet the cork in vinegar and water, but avoid surplus water. Straight and circular motions will give a variety of effects. For trumpet calls you can use the Victor record of U. S. Army calls. These calls are separate and may be played individually. Mark each cut-in with a dab of white paint and drop the needle just there. Lift the needle at the close instead of shutting off the machine. Have the turntable speeded up before you require the effect. Closing Doors: Any heavy wooden box with a hinged cover will give this effect if you gauge the sound, or you can close the lid of the piano or phonograph. Use the effect only when the sound will give dramatic result, as when the hero goes out of the heroine's life "forever. Torn Clothing: Very useful in comedy. It is achieved merely by tearing a strip of stiff cloth. Tracing cloth, such as is used by architects, will give the best results. In any event make half-inch scissor cuts every half inch along the edge to make it "sure fire," or you may have a delay in starting the rip. Wood Blocks: Two blocks of wood to be clapped together for a variety of effects, including applause. For handclapping they should be struck loosely together. They should be about three by five inches and thick enough to be easily grasped. This by no means exhausts the list but these should be more than ample for your needs. Use them sparingly. The aim should be to heighten the effect, not merely to make a continuous din. Watch the screen for your cues and time properly. You will find that you should make the sound a fraction of a second before the picture calls for it or the sound will follow the sight, which may be like effects you see in the present hurried sounding of regular releases. Never try to sound a picture until you have carefully rehearsed it and if you have not sounded a picture for a long time run through it to refresh your memory. And make a hang; on the a big one, to behind which sign, ici un lhvj screen you work. The text should be: Watch the Picture. A Wonderful Xmas Gift!

Should the illumination be so brilliant that the Meter calls for f-1 6, then the l\[eutral Density Filter is required for Kodacolor. Whenever the Drem CINOPHOT calls for an aperture larger than f-8, — for instance for f-5.6 — then there is not sufficient light available for Kodacolor.
