Junior Cameramen Elect New
President; Club in Active Month
David Ragin has been elected president of the Junior Cameramen's Club to succeed Gregg Toland who has resigned due to a prolonged absence in New York City where he is assistant cinematographer to Arthur Edeson, A. S. C, who is photographing First National productions.
Other officers of the organization are Burnett Guffy, vice president; Joseph McDonald, second vice president; Robert Laprelle, third vice president; Ira Hoke, secretary; and Roland Piatt, treasurer. The board of directors includes Max Cohen, K. F. Green, Gregg Toland, and William Reinhold.

During the past month, John R. Marshall was admitted to membership. Marshall was initiated at a dinner given by the Junior Cameramen's Club at the Piccadilly, Hollywood, on the evening of July 8th.
The dinner was the first of a series of social affairs that the club will stage in addition to its regular activities. Among those who attended were Robert Laprelle of the Warner Bros, studios; Burnett Guffy and Clifford Shirpser of the C. B. De Mille Studios; Eddie Cohen and Ira Hoke of the First National Studios; K. F. Green of the Hollywood Studios; and Bill Margolis, Dave Ragin, Anthony Urgin, Red Marshall, Hatto Tappenbeck and Frank Powlony of the Fox Studios.
^ News Notes of Junior Cameramen's Club Gregg Toland, ex-president of the Junior Cameramen's Club, is sojourning in New York. He has been there for three months and expects to stay three more. He is assisting Arthur Edeson, A. S. C, in the filming of First National productions in the East. * * *
Max Cohen returned from a trip to Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada, with Abe Fried, A. S. C. They made exteriors there for the Fox production, "The Land Beyond." The Canadian Pacific Railroad was unbale to supply the baggage car needed by Max to bring back all the bottles ordered by the gang, and not wanting to disappoint the boys entirely he brought back labels from the empties that would have been full had the necessary transportation been provided. Question? Who made the full ones empty?
Behind the praise
of the critic —
WHEN a critic applauds skilful photography, what does his praise mean? He may not know it — but it means praise of the cinematographer's instinct for distinctive, artistic treatment. And his genius for getting that treatment translated into film via camera and lighting effects.
One reason why such praise has been frequent is that Cooper Hewitt light has made it possible to carry out unusual lighting ideas. Our service department, of course, is always ready to help you. Just ask for "Mike" Shannon.
