In other words, where finished titles are to be black with white lettering, the title card must be white with black lettering. The values are reversed in developing of the positive film. Obviously the foregoing could only be a sketchy outline of title filming processes. It is intended to show the beginning amateur that making home movie titles is comparatively simple and fasci nating work — important work, nevertheless, because no amateur motion picture is complete without adequate titles. It would take a book to explain the full procedure of title making, a book incidentally which is available at small cost to every amateur. This book is "How To Title Home Movies" and available from the publishers of Home Movies. It is recommended reading for all amateurs seriously interested in title making.

"Civilian Fire Fighters" opens with sequences picturing the terrible fires started by the Nazi blitz on London. Shows the incendiary bomb, and how to fight it. How to open doors in burning buildings. Types of hydrants, ladders, leg holds and lock holds, hose loading, and civilian preparation for fire-fighting. A thorough, gripping film that can help to save lives and property in town, city or industrial plant. Third of the series is "The Civilian Serves" demonstrating how citizens can serve in home defense as air wardens, members of rescue squads, auxiliary police, fire watchers, demolition crews, etc. It is an impressive film with a message urging all to serve. "Sport Spellbinders" is Castle's newest sports-action film. Featured are thrills and spills in a dozen sports that will leave audiences breathless. Daredevil stunts and hairbreadth escapes succeed each other in rapid succession in a variety of sports. Not only are masters of well-known sports like high hurdling, broad jumping, pole vaulting and high jumping seen in swift paced action, but the thrills of more unusual sports are shown as well. Tuna fishing where three men are needed to haul in the giant fish. Skiing on sand with spills galore. Water skiing and sea sledding. Outboard motor boat racing with a skittering boat that runs wild on the shore, crashing over a parked automobile. Shooting swift-flowing, rock infested rapids at a dizzy pace. And much more. And as a comical and mirth-provoking climax there is the great jaloppy race in which cars of ancient vintage race madly around a "race track" that is full of great bumps and mud holes. Providing fun for young and old audiences alike are two new animated cartoons which are available in color as well as black and white. In "Little Black Sambo," Sambo has a hectic adventure with two tigers . . . one fake and one real. Sambo's Hound-Dog gets more than he bargained for when he dis guises himself as a Tiger and chases his little black master! A real Tiger appears and the rapid fun begins. Hound and Sambo run home for their lives, finally outwit the Tiger by spreading molasses on the floor. A sadder, battered tiger ends up by skiing down a hill into a mud hole! A world-wide favorite enacted with a new twist! Those who remember Washington Irving's tale of the Headless Horseman will delight in viewing Castle's animated cartoon of the same title. The fun is provided by Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones in their rivalry for the hand of the fair Katrina. Ichabod seems to have the upper hand until Brom discovers his fear of ghosts. Dressed as the Headless Horseman, Brom pursues Ichabod in a ghostly midnight chase and completes the rout by hurling at Ichabod the pumpkin head on his saddle. Brom Bones, the winner, leads the fair Katrina to the altar, but gets a real surprise when he does. Home projectors in the future will undoubtedly see more use than ever before with such good professionally produced material available. Distribution of the new films is being made through important photo dealers in every city. • Continued from Page 349 end calls for filming scenes of the Forest Department's fire fighting crew in action." Reproduced here are frame enlargements of some of the atmospheric scenes in Robertson's film and of the scene showing careful campers extinguishing a campfire in the manner prescribed by the Forest Department. Significant is the number of amateurs who have undertaken production of Forest Defense films in spite of the restriction of travel occasioned by shortage of rubber and gasoline. One filmer is reported to have secured most of his footage to-date without once having used his automobile. Travel to filming
