CLOSE UP
drawn film. A well-balanced book on behalf of an art that amongst much else has given us Lotte Reiniger's Prince Achmed,
Kinomatogr aphis che Projektion deals with questions that are of importance to all film exhibitors. Just as even the most beautiful musical composition suffers through the defective interpretation of a mediocre orchestra, so does a film at the hands of a projector incapable of doing full justice to its symphony in black and white. The author states the significance of cinematography in the form of statistics now inevitably out-of-date. The different film formats, the standard format (35mm), Pathe, Baby and Kodak are severally introduced, and the demonstration of the process of preparing a projection apparatus is sufficient for our full instruction. The author brings all kinds of apparatus to our notice without favouring any one in particular. His work is primarily addressed to technicians, but group-leaders (and Close Up, I believe, counts such amongst its readers) will certainly find much useful material in this exact and intelligently handled exposition. To small projectors, travelling projectors, and the so-called Koffer-kinos (portable cines), Herr Joachim gives much attention. These handy and finished products make possible the improvisation of shows in premises not in any way fitted up for such, and are especially useful for schools, clubs and private exhibitions. Both these books will, by reason of their quiet practicality, most certainly assist in inspiring confidence in those who hitherto have been inclined to look askance at the Film. And for this alone
gratitude is due to their authors. ^
