The steel framework is the script, which will give the film its final form. As the steel is clad with the stone, so the script is given substance by intelligent direction good photography polished editing faultless sound. But ultimately the functional suitability of the building depends upon the skill of the architect. Behind every Reid Ray film is the experience of a pioneer in film production.

Washington, D.C. The five-day conference, at which attendance is expected to run into the thousands, will mark the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Society, which was incorporated in Washington in 1916. Senator Murphy's background in the motion picture industry makes him a most appropriate figure for the celebration of this significant event. The amazing changes in technology the SMPTE has seen in the course of its 50 years will be amply demonstrated during the 99th Conference. At one end of the scale, the very latest technical advances in space photography will hopefully be highlighted by the presentation of special awards to astronauts McDivitt and White, the first cincmatographers to operate literally in space. At the other — the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institute and the National Archives will display treasures from their collections of historical motion pictures from the earliest days of the industry. Other highlights of the conference will be a technical review of the Seventh International Congress on High-Speed Photography, held in Zurich, Switzerland, last September; plus an important presentation on underwater photography; and some significant recent contributions in television broadcast engineering. • Saul Jeffee {left), president o)\foviclah.
