Of Interest to All — Glen MacWilliams, A.S.C., returning to Hollywood after six years in London as Chief Cinematographer for the Gaumont-British Studio, was seriously injured in an automobile accident which occurred on January 14th, when Glen's car left the highway near Williams, Arizona. Mrs. MacWilliams, their two daughters and an English maid received minor injuries, while Glen sustained very serious injuries to his back. MacWilliams is now in the Queen of the Angels Hospital, in Los Angeles, where he hopes his Hollywood friends will visit him. One friend recently showed him fhe A.S.C.'s weekly list of available Directors of Photography. Glen insisted that his name be placed on the list, with the notation, "Will be available in six months." With spirit like that, Glen may be down, but he is a long way from being out! We extend our sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery, and urge all of Hollywood's camera profession to call upon him. Director William Dieterle is another member of Hollywood's film colony who is to be congratulated on his recovery from serious injuries, likewise sustained in a motor smash. Director Dieterle, however, is reported sufficiently recovered to have left the hospital and returned to work. As we go to press, Dieterle is hard at work for Walter Wanger Productions, directing "The River Is Blue." Agfa Ultra Speed Pan is now available in special daylight-loading cartridges for use in miniature cameras, such as the Leica, Contax and others. These cartridges may be obtained from all photographic supply stores. They are not available at the offices of C. King Charney, Incorporated. At present, Agfa Supreme is not as yet available in these miniature-camera loads, though undoubtedly it, too, will eventually be available in this form, as are the other Agfa miniature-camera films, including Agfa Superpan, Agfa Finopam and Agfa Plenachrome.
