THE CINEMA GUILD OF DETROIT is a new organisation similar to the film societies operating in Britain, founded on a belief that "the standards of American motion pictures underestimate public taste," and that "the rulings of institutionalised censorship constitute a reflection on public taste." The subscription for six performances is four dollars, and the films shown have included Poil de Carotte, Madame Bovary, Le Million, The Blue Light, The Blue Express, Dawn to Dawn, Lot in Sodom, and Romance Sentimentale . THE NATIONAL FILM AND PHOTO LEAGUE, 31 E. 21st Street, New York, shows films of strong left wing character. Among recent presentations have been The Man I Killed, The Patriot, Three Songs about Lenin, Deserter, Arsenal, Road to Life, Storm Over Asia, End of St. Petersburg, Mother, and Ivan. The League publishes "Filmfront," a fortnightly periodical which "trains the burning spotlight on the Hollywood jungle and shows the black thread that links the producers with the forces of re-action." THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CINEMATOGRAPHY, University Park, Los Angeles, is a new organisation founded on lines similar to the British Film Institute, co-operating with the University of Southern California, which has a special faculty in cinematography. SCOTTISH EDUCATIONAL CINEMA SOCIETY, Education Offices, Bath Street, Glasgow, organised an Exhibition of Screen Aids to Education, similar to that held last year. Sir Charles Cleland, acting chairman of the British Film Institute, in opening the exhibition, said that early in 1935 there were approximately 650 projectors in use in schools in Great Britain. In France in 1932 there were between 16,000 and 18,000. In Germany provision had recently been made for the introduction of 60,000 projectors into schools, 10,000 of those to be installed in 1935. Demonstrations of projection equipment and of educational films were given at the exhibition, which was largely attended by teachers in the West of Scotland. 185
