"The day is past when anyone who can grind a camera makes industrial pictures. The story must not only be well told, but the best technical and photographic devices must be used." Pictures of this type are being exhibited not only by more than 5000 schools, museums, religious and social centers, clubs, scientific societies and business associations but also by first class motion picture theatres. New Medical Films AMERICAN MEDICAL FILMS, INC., of 350 Madison Avenue, New York City, is engaged in producing a number of films relating to medical and health subjects. These films are designed for use in medical schools and societies and for general instructional purposes with student undergraduates as well as graduate physicians who would keep up on the latest technique in surgery, and the latest developments in physiological discoveries. Three such subjects, of strictly medical nature, have been produced thus far. They are: Gastric Motor Phenomena, showing the complex motions of the stomach; Pulmonary Tuberculosis, a four-reel film giving a scientific review of the anatomy and histology of the lung; and Gastric Ulcers, defining and classifying the various types, and showing their effect on the stomach. Considerable use is made of X-ray photography in the series. American Medical Films also have some splendid subjects for general school use. A film dealing with the importance of general medical examinations once a year for every adult has just been completed. This comes within the class of health films for the general audience and should find a ready response in every health organization and public high school in the country.
