They have been educated to demand the best in photography, direction and printing. Representative Membership While the Allied Association does not represent every laboratory in the country it is fast gathering membership. To some laboratories the necessity for an organization is not yet apparent, but as a rule when vital questions arise within these non-members of the association, the advantages of membership are easily seen, and, as a rule, readily applied for. The organization is headed by Major Tom Evans, president of the Evans Film Manufacturing Company. He was in charge of the film laboratories for the Government during the war and is known from Coast to Coast. The vice-presidents are: H. J. Yates of Republic Laboratories, and L. J. San of Craftsman Laboratory. M. E. A. Tucker of the Kineto Company is treasurer, and Alan Lownes of Cromlow Laboratories is secretary. With these men who are not only experienced laboratory men but practical motion picture men, on the front line — and everyone is a fighter — the success of the organization is easily explained. Attention, Laboratory Men THE AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER will inaugurate a laboratory department in the February 15 issue which will be devoted to all phases of laboratory practice, research and business. Laboratory men — employers and employees alike — are most cordially invited to send to THE AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER news stories, personals, technical articles and communications appertaining to the profession, its people and its work. Close co-operation in this will enable THE AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER to create and maintain the livest laboratory forum in the country, which should prove of inestimable service, not only to the profession, but to the entire film industry.

In Camerafornia ^NOTHER cameraman has started up the ladder of directorial fame. This time it is Gus Peterson, chief cinematogpher of Benjamin B. Hampton productions, who has been elevated to the list of directorial associates of the noted producer. The untimely death of Eliot Howe, who, with Jean Hersholt and Dick Rush formed the Hampton staff of associated directors, left a vacancy and the work of Peterson as an artistic and ideaful cameraman caused his promotion. President Fred Jackman of the A. S. C, Phil Rosen, now directing Wallace Reid; Edward Kull, of Universal and Fred Granville, now making films in England; George W. Hill and John Leezer, represent six other crnematographers who have been crowned with the directorial megaphone and have made good. And all are members of the A. S. C. Jack Rose, A. S. C, who is filming "With Stanley in Africa," at Universal, had a bout with a lion the other day and had to climb a ladder to save his bacon. Jack didn't know until after the excitement that the lion was worse scared than he. Director Stanlaws of Lasky's had posted on the call board recently a call for a number of "bootleggers in costume." Just what kind of a costume does a bootlegler wear when he is bootlegging? Phone 578473 CThe (^rescent Film Laboratory 7870 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood California
