54 FILM AND RADIO GUIDE Volume XII, No. 9 ly larger than a portable typewriter. (2) Simplicitij: MOVIE-MITE Corporation states the Model 63-L can be unpacked, set up, threaded, and “on the screen” in less than three minutes. The plainly marked film path makes threading easy. Only one movable part need be operated in the threading operation. One electrical plug completes all connections to the projector; cords are permanently wired to the speaker and cannot be lost. Reel arms of 2000-ft. capacity slip into accurate sockets. Universal A.C.-D.C. operation for both projector and amplifier eliminates need of a converter for D.C. operation. The number of working parts is held to a minimum for trouble-free operation. A single, inexpensive standard projector lamp is used for both picture and sound ; no separate exciter lamp is necessary. (3) Sturdiness: Model 63-L is manufactured of best-quality die-cast and precision-machined parts. The unit is housed in a durable ply-wood case covered with attractive gray leatherette. All bearings are fitted with either oil-less bushings or oilsealed ball bearings, making for infrequent oiling at a few plainly marked points. The mechanism is cushioned on gum-rubber mountings for smooth, quiet operation. MOVIE-MITE is not intended for use in large auditoriums. It was designed to give smallersized groups a truly portable, low-priced unit with adequate illumination and sound. KIND WORDS are more than coronets Bridging the Gap To The Editor: You may take the following for “eye-wash,” but I have been thinking for some time that Film and Radio Guide, in addition to its merits per se, fulfills a real need for bringing into closer contact the philosophies of Hollywood and the Ivory Tower. It seems to me that if audio-visual education is to assume the importance it seems capable of, it will achieve that distinction best through marshalling all forces in the field to a common end. Your publication, it seems to me, is helping to bridge the unfortunate gap that has in some degree deterred the progress of visual education to date. ROBERT E. SCHREIBER University of Chicago For several weeks I have wanted to tell you how very stimulating I found your last issue. The article by B. A. Aughinbaugh aroused many questions in my mind, as did the one by Flora Schreiber. I do not have a copy here, but I remember the point presented by Dr. Aughinbaugh concerning the use of excerpts and synopses. I have felt one must derive pleasure from a short selection often when life is so rushed and full. I should like to hear more from him on this phase. The article by Miss Schreiber about A Winter’s Tcde was beautifully written, subtle, psychologically sensitive and most distinctive. She has an unusual feeling for language and vocabulary and a fine aesthetic sense. MARY W, DINGLE Greeley, Colorado Two Notes from Edgar Dale Your November issue is excellent and I recommend it highly. We are carrying a News Note on it in the News-Letter. Your last issue of Film and Radio Guide was a very good one. I especially liked Bill Kruse’s material and that of Max Herzberg. EDGAR DALE Ohio State University Found Mr. Herzberg’s article in the Guide very stimulating. It says some very important things, indeed. WILLIAM S. HOCKMAN Lakewood, Ohio
