Third Dimension THE Truvision Screen Projection Corporation, manufacturers of glass bead screens for amateur and professional use, informs this department that it installed one of its professional screens in the Roxy Theatre, New York, N. Y., when that theatre was opened to the public some time ago. This screen, an invention of Ludwig A. Wilczek, gives the optical effect of the third dimension or depth without the use of two lenses in photography and special apparatus for the spectator in viewing the picture. Millions of tiny glass particles, each no larger than the head of a pin, make up the surface of this new third dimensional screen and practically all flickering and distortion have been eliminated. Note for Advertisers ADVANCE in the closing date for acceptance of advertising copy and cuts was recently announced by the Advertising Department of Movie Makers, effective December 1st. Absolute deadline for the copy and cuts, either display or classified, has been advanced from the 15th to the 10th of the month preceding issue. For the January number this will mean that no copy or cuts will be accepted after December 10th. This change has been made necessary because of the impossibility under the former schedule of producing and mailing the magazine in time to provide a distribution which would be either fair or satisfactory to the more distant parts of the United States and Canada, and in recognition of the importance of Movie Makers' rapidly growing circulation in more than fifty foreign countries. Additional necessity for immediate change was emphasized by the production problems incident to the Christmas holidays. Effective at the same time, double column space will be limited to two sizes, either one column set two columns wide or two full columns. Also advertisements calling for space other than one column, two columns or one full page must be in multiples of one inch (fourteen agate lines). For instance, advertisements of twenty-one lines, etc., can no longer be accepted. Popular Camera npHE interest in Industrial Motion ■*■ Pictures is rapidly increasing. Firms in all parts of the country are adding motion pictures to their publicity, training and welfare departments. Among the more recent additions to this class of organization, are the public utility companies. The New York Institute of Photography announces it has placed the Institute Standard motion picture camera with many of these companies within the past year. The Detroit Edison Company, one of the first to enter this field, is now using six of these professional cameras. Not only is the Institute Standard said to be in demand for industrial work, but, it is stated, New York Institute trained men are in demand in this field, due to thorough technical training. Color Projection BECKLEY & CHURCH, manufacturers of the Koloray attachment for projectors, suggest that those interested in projecting their films in colors give some thought to the various color discs now on the market which serve this purpose. In some cases the amateur can get an approximation of natural color. Those amateurs for whom a natural color process would be too expensive will find it fascinating to experiment with these discs in projection and will find that such experiments will help to satisfy the craving to see their films in color.
