Moving Picture Age (Jan-Dec 1921)

February, 1921 MOVING PICTURE AGE 25 EVERYBODY SING "Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord" SACRED ILLUSTRATED FILM SONGS NOW BEING PREPARED, SATISFYING A LONG FELT WANT The Sacred Film Songs will make it possible for everyone in the audience, from the "kiddies" to the "grown-ups," to have a personal part in the program. COMMUNITY SINGING MAKES PEOPLE FEEL AT HOME These Illustrated Sacred Film Songs are to be used before, between and after the showing of other films. As a rule, have all the audience sing them; at other times a soloist can sing the words, or as an instrumental rendition, while the audience follow the words and watch the illustrations. Various other plans can be thought out, making this song feature very effective. Such songs as the following are in preparation: Onward, Christian Soldiers Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus Wonderful Words of Life When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder My Jesus, I Love Thee Dare to Be a Daniel How Firm a Foundation Happy Day Etc., Etc., Etc. If you are using movies, write us at once, so that we can gain an idea as to the number of prints to make of each song to supply the demand, and so that we may send you further details and supplemental catalogue from time to time. SACRED FILMS PRODUCTION CO., 1127 E. 43rd St., Chicago, III. PRODUCERS OF ONE AND TWO REEL SACRED FEATURES, ILLUSTRATED SERMONETTES AND ILLUSTRATED SACRED SONGS been preparing film of late showing the needs and work in the city. The church should show these film whenever possible for the sake of training the people in community conscience. I have long been in the habit of showing films as a part of the campaign of education in support of the great financial drives of such organizations. We have too long thought of film from the standpoint of the entertainment features alone. It is hoped that the foregoing suggestions may be of use in showing the educational opportunities that, are open to the enterprising church worker who wants to make use of this new and scientific ally. Perhaps the suggestions made will not be usable in every case but they will have served their purpose if they start other men to studying the opportunity. Kansas State Normal in Visual Instruction THE Department of Visual Education in the Kansas State Normal School grew out of an attempt to bring high grade pictures before the student body. Prof. M. L. Smith, who was the first to use a picture machine in the Kansas schools, organized the department in the fall of 1918, with the view of promoting better pictures throughout the state, by making it possible for the schools to make use of films, slides, charts and stereographs. The Department of Visual Education is the distributing center for 22 industrial centers and the Bureau of Commercial Economics, Washington, D. C. This arrangement has given the department a film library ot over 250,000 feet of film, covering every part of the United States, its insular possessions, Canada, Cuba, South America, and a part of Europe and the South Sea Islands. At the present, the department is serving more than 80 Kansas communities.

In connection with the film service the department has a collection of nearly 5000 slides, stereographs and charts. In order to assist the schools in securing projection machines a very careful investigation of the different types of projectors was made, and the sub-agencies of some of the best secured. The commission from the sale of the projectors is used to help support the department in order to place this service at the minimum cost o£ transportation charges only. Automatic Stereopticon for Education and Advertising ANNOUNCEMENT is made by The Attract-OScope Corporation of their new automatic-stereopticon. This machine has an attractive front and can be used equally well in daylight as in the dark. It has a capacity of 50 slides and being continuous in operation, does not need attendance or adjustments. Attract-OScope is made in two sizes and is advocated for universal use by educators in illustrating certain lessons and for national advertising corporations in picturizing their products. Mr. Edward Van Altena, President of the company, has been well and favorably known in the slide field for many years. He announces their new location at 29 West 38th street, New York City, effective February 1, 1921. The New York office of the Educational Films Corp. has moved to its new offices in the Penn Terminal Bldg., Seventh Avenue and Thirty-first Street. Lack of room in its present quarters at 729 Seventh Avenue, which will be retained by the New York exchange and the shipping department, is the occasion for the change.
