In each case the film had already been included in the exhibition of members’ films which has been run for the past three years by the society. In 1934 Shear’s Bird Studies was judged the best members’ film. In 1935 his Birds in Our Garden took second place. Other members’ films which have been accepted in R.PS. Exhibitions are Mainly Boats (C. R. Stubbs) and Metropolitan Medley (J. F. Marshall, A.R.P.S.). Meetings will this year continue to be held on alternate Tuesdays at 5.40 in the Coffee Room, Somerset House. This year there is a slight change in arrangement of meetings. Each evening will commence with informal projection and some evenings will be devoted to informal practical work in which all can assist. The first of these evenings produced a crop of title making apparatus. Wimbledon C.C. Hon. Sec.: C. W. Watkins, 79, Mostyn Road, Merton Park, S.W.19. The “ film evening ”’ arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Sugden was very well attended, many hundreds witnessing, during the two houses, the first public showing of the film taken by the club for Lady Roney of the Wimbledon jubilee celebrations, and Coffee Stall, a members’ film taken with the aid of club equipment and fellow members’ help—an | interesting and amusing effort. Other | films in the programme included prizewinning productions from previous Brunel Cup competitions. At the fifth annual cine dance Miss Cain, film actress known as “The Girl With the Golden Voice,’’ presented the prizes. During the interval a | display of stills from club productions and advance pictures from “Vanity,” Miss Cain’s first British picture, were inspected. Among the guests were the Mayor and | Mayoress and Mr. Adrian Brunel. : We regret that owing to pressure on space it has been necessary tohold over this month’s instalment of the cine diary.

I have heard that cross bars should be of plate glass, so that light of flashing lamps after reversing would get equal access to all the film. ‘“ My developing outfit is home made and I have painted the whole, including cross bars, white. I thought the white cross bars might repeat a certain amount of light up through the film but the uneven density is still there.
