Germany A German film week will be held in Baden-Baden and Breslau this month. Negotiations are under way in Germany between the A. E. G. Electric concern and the Leitz factories in view of amalgamation of the two companies. The A. E.G. will, at the same time, acquire the right to construct the Meschau projector produced by the Leitz factories. This transaction is said to be in connection with the A.E.G.'s sound film interests. The Ufa Sound Studios at Neubabelsberg (Berlin) have in six weeks continuous work so far been completed that the wiring and installation of machinery can begin. For acoustic reasons no windows have been built and the doors have been constructed in a particular way: no iron was used, the walls being made of strong burnt bricks. For the lighting, only incandescent lamps are used, having a strength of several hundred thousand candlepower. To combat the heat of lighting and to remove the dust, all the air of the vast building will be renewed six to eight times every hour. Ventilating must be absolutely noiseless and the ducts must also be soundproof against outside noises. A complicated system of signals will be fitted and every visitor will be "signalled" to the producer. A large number of scientific experts of Berlin have been consulted by the architects. Herr Otto Kohtz, and the engineer, Herr Otto Zucker. The building has the shape of a cross: four stages of sixty to ninety and forty-five to seventy-five feet size at each side, and a hall with all the technical appliances forming the center. Greece The Malaria Association has produced a film of approximately 5.000 feet length showing various parts of Greece affected by malaria epidemics, the effect of the disease on the population and the means of preventing the propagation of epidemics. Austria The "Vita" Studio of Vienna, purchased by a British financial group some time ago. will be turned into a sound film studio for the production of "talkies."
