Cinema Club, whose defense filming activities were reported in FioME Movies for February, have completed their shooting schedule, and are now engaged in adding the narrative sound track. The production, probably the first pretentious defense film produced by a voluntary amateur group, was filmed with the cooperation of the Long Beach Fire department. The fire chief acted in advisory capacity on all incendiary bomb sequences of the picture. Premier of the picture will be given in the Long Beach municipal auditorium, and then exhibited throughout the city and adjoining communities in school auditoriums which have been donated for the purpose.

Title As You Film A novel way to title films as you shoot vacation and travel movies is to take along a set of adhesive title letters or plastic letters that may be used with liquid adhesive, and compose titles by placing letters on a window of your automobile and shooting the title through the glass. Thus, titles will be in their proper place, no splicing will be required, and also, such titles will be enhanced by scenic or moving backgrounds filmed simultaneously with the title. —Ward Denny, Long Beach, Calif.
