International photographer (Jan-Dec 1934)

May, 1934 T h INTERNATIONAL PHOTOCRAI'H KK Twent v-nine CYCLES OF LIGHTING Much has been said about picture cycles. We have had costume, mystery, gangster, sex and many others. Now we are back to costume pictures once more. It has been said that this is typical only of the motion picture industry and that other fields of art and science do not follow the same pendulum swing. How about the styles of furnishings, the clothes that we wear and the very food that we eat ? All of these things seem to follow very well defined cycles. The reason for this is that human beings demand change. At the present time we are starting on another cycle in lighting. For a time, sound limited us to the use of one type of equipment. Our method of working during the early days of sound pictures made that single type of equipment adequate. Now we are expanding into greater cinematographic fields again and our tools must be varied to meet the changed conditions. Arc spotlights and searchlights have found their way back to universal use and newly developed broadsides are finding their niche in our "Hall of Flame." How far this return cycle of arcs will go depends entirely on the changing conditions, but we do not stand still. BON VOYAGE, GEORGE MITCHELL George Mitchell, the genius of Mitchell Camera Corporation, is grooming his beautiful sea-going yacht (George calls it a boat) for a cruise to the South Seas. This trim craft is 89 feet long and is equipped with everything necessary for a deep sea voyage of unlimited cruising radius. Tt carries a full complement of men skippered by Henry Kruise and with Charles Hubble, past commodore of the Southwestern Yacht Club, as navigator. Dr. Murray will join the cruise as physician in charge. Mrs. Mitchell, with George, Jr., will accompany her husband and Victor Milner and family will be guests on the trip. The ship will sail from San Pedro harbor as soon as Mr. Milner's current picture now in production at Paramount is completed.
