Mr. Maxim has the characteristic curiosity for scientific information. Although his rather unruly hair is turning white, the flame in his piercing eyes has not abated one iota. He has the insatiable appetite of a youth when it comes to learning about new things, new inventions, new ways of doing things. In ordinary conversation his manner is as eager as that of a boy with his first sled. He hangs his nose glasses over his right ear until something requires close ocular scrutiny, and then his hand reaches for his spectacles as automatically as if it moved by electricity.
This is the man who has undertaken the leadership of the Amateur Cinema League and who will devote to it the same energy and enthusiasm that he gave to the American Radio Relay League. The Amateur Cinema League starts its career with Mr. Maxim's background of experience and his unquestioned amateur standing.

Our Amateur Film Exchange
AMATEUR FILMS AVAILABLE FOR EXCHANGE
One of the chief functions of the Amateur Cinema League is to establish a safe and workable amateur film exchange. This will not be undertaken until a procedure has been worked in such a fashion as to insure absolutely safe transportation and return of valuable films.
The League desires to have a list of films which their owners are willing to exchange under conditions of absolute safety. Will you not send such a list to the editor of AMATEUR MOVIE MAKERS as soon as possible?
