Among the attractive features to appear in the July issue of International Photographer are special articles by Lewis W. Physioc, Karl A. Barleben, Milton Moore, etc. . . . Charles Felstead, Walter Bluemel, Earl Theisen and Paul Harmer will entertain and instruct in their own inimitable styles, while several new names will also appear. • Two new articles to which the attention of our readers is directed are, one on the beginnings and evolution of miniature photography, and one on the history of lens making. • Mr. Charles Boyle, Out-of-Focus editor, will tell about the development of the famous Bucklebird camera. Meet Mr. Earl Theisen, Associate Editor, International Photographer. INTRODUCING MR. TOTHEROH The wonderful cartoon which ornaments the front cover of this issue of The International Photographer was done by Mr. Rollie Totheroh, for more than twenty years chief cinematographer of the Charles Chaplin Film Corporation. Mr. Totheroh is good enough in his cartooning to command space in any publication, as his ideas are original and his style is something quite his own. The cameramen are proud of him both as cartoonist and cinematographer and The International Photographer is most grateful for his contribution to this issue.
