Barleben, )r., famous Leica expert, will take his miniature camera and note book to sea again. • Earl Theisen will be back with an unusually interesting article on the evolution and development of lamps and lighting of the motion pictures. • Augustus Wolfman, miracle man of the Miniature Camera, who writes on "The Enlarger" this month, will take up another phase of this fascinating subject. • "Art in Motion Pictures," by Miss May Gearheart, supervisor of Art in Los Angeles schools, which was promised for March, will surely appear in April. • "Patterns of Illumination," by F. Morris Steadman, promised for March, will not be ready until April. This will be Mr. Steadman's most fascinating article on his journeys into the Realm of Light. • Charles Felstead, Associate Editor, will present Chapter VIII of his fine series on Motion Picture Sound Recording. Mr. Felstead's articles are attracting wide attention, even far away India being interested. • Harry Mimura, our brilliant young Japanese contributor, will be present with another story on Japanese production. Mr. Mimura is a well known assistant cinema tographer and a clever writer. e Paul R. Harmer will furnish a lot of useful information and entertainment for anyone who wants to know "How Earthquakes Are Made to Order in the Movies." He will also tell about home-made volcanic eruptions. • Fred Westerberg's Cinematograper's Tables will be completed in April unless something else presents itself to his fine technical mind. And this suggests that the Tables wil soon be bound and on the market. Get yours while the getting is good. • Walter Bluemel will have another delightful and constructive article on 16 mm. subjects. And, to those who are interested in junior cinematography, it will be worth while to note that henceforth Mr. Bluemel's department will be known as "Small-film-iana," a word of our own coining. • In our Television Department a feature article is offered that no Television fan should overlook. This marvel called Television is coming fast, girls and boys, and it will be to your interest to keep informed of its progress by reading INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.
