For Non-members Only ^7~he opposite page shows you what Amateur Cinema League members are getting this month in suggestions for more pleasure with their personal movies. Amateur Movie Makers opens news vistas of satisfaction from home motion picture making. It comes each month to Members of the Amateur Cinema League. Amateur Movie Makers, like the Amateur Cinema League, is not a commercial undertaking; it is of, by and for Amateurs. Read it. Then remember that the magazine represents only a small part of the service that the Amateur Cinema League renders its members. Here is what the League does: 1. Increases the pleasure of making home tnotion pictures by aiding amateurs to originate and produce their own plays; 2. Promotes amateur cinematography as a national sport; 3. Organizes clubs of amateur motion picture makers; 4. Publishes a monthly magazine devoted to amateur motion picture making; 5. Establishes an amateur motion picture film exchange among League members; 6. Encourages amateur photoplay writing; 7. Maintains home motion picture making on an amateur basis. The League is non-commercial and no person commercially engaged in the production of motion pictures or in the manufacture, sale or rental of cinematographic equipment is eligible to membership on the Board of Governors. The only requirement for League membership is an interest in amateur movies. Whether you at present own amateur equipment or not is non-essential — if you're interested you're eligible.
