April, 1929 T h INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Three Unemployment From the Union Label Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor. "Unemployment is a growing, serious menace. Its importance is uppermost in the minds of all thoughtful men and women. Several remedies have been suggested. I shall not discuss this important economic question at this time, except to say that I am in full accord with organized labor's long ago declared philosophy, that the only real remedy is to increase the purchasing power of the masses to a point that will enable them to consume that which they help to create, and that the only way to do this is through and by our trades unions. "The union label, shop card, button and emblem is a silent, inexpensive, powerful and helpful means to this end. Injunctions or judge-made law cannot prevent us from spending our own money when, where and for what we please, AND IT SHOULD PLEASE ALL UNION MEN AND WOMEN TO SPEND THEIR UNION-MADE WAGES FOR" STRICTLY UNIONMADE PRODUCTS." Mohr's Set Colossal The night club set of the picture, "Broadway," shortly to be seen under the Universal banner is of special interest to cameramen throughout the country. Hal Mohr, chief cameraman, and Frank Graves, electrician, succeeded in so placing over 1000 Mole-Richardson incandescent lamps and 2000 single incandescents that almost numberless camera angles, each perfectly lighted, were instantly available. The set is said to be one of the most colossal interiors ever photographed on the Pacific Coast. It is probable that Brother Mohr had at one time on this set more incandescent lamps than were used by all the other Hollywood studios combined. To the Mole-Richardson Company, designers of lighting equipment, is due great credit for their co-operation with Mohr and Graves in the task of working out special lighting equipment for numerous traveling shots. Hal Mohr will be remembered for his recent box-office success for Warner Brothers, "Noah's Ark."
