Each of the five reels released either two or three stories on each convention, most of them being specialed and shipped air- express to all accounts. Probably 100,- 000 feet of negative was shot at each convention and some two million feet of positive prints released. When the costs are all in, it is likely the newsreels' political coverage to date this year has run close to the budget of a Hollywood feature. That the expense is justified by the public's interest has been proved by the many congratulatory letters and telegrams received from the- ater clients by all companies. And the campaign has just started! India Producer Visits Hollywood • Y. A. Fazaibhoy, one of the most prominent figures in India's growing motion picture industry, was a recent Hollywood visitor. Mr. Fazaibhoy is one of the proprietors of the Bombay Radio Company, distributing such familiar mo- tion picture products as Mole-Richard- son lamps. Bell & Howell and Mitchell cameras, etc. In addition, he is with his three brothers, an owner of Sound City Studios, the largest and most mod- ern rental studio in India. British Want Patent • Negotiations were entered into by a representative of British interests with Armind Fried for the purchase of the English rights to his patent for the focusing of cameras. It seems that this particular patent would be of great assistance in color cameras with their prisms which do not permit the camera operator to get a clear view of the image he is going to shoot. The Fried patent takes advantage of an entirely new system, according to the inventor and is claimed to be the only practical system available for use in color cameras.
