International photographer (Jan-Dec 1935)

Thirty-two The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER December, 1935 SECOND INTERNATIONAL LEICA EXHIBIT The success of the first International Leica Exhibit, sponsored by E. Leitz, Inc., 60 East 10th St., New York City, created such enthusiasm that it was decided to afford the public a second showing of the world-famous pictures. From November 27th December 9th, and again from December 17th to December 23rd, inclusive, the Second International Leica Exhibit will be on view in Rockefeller Center, Radio City, New York City, in the Mezzanine Gallery. The Gallery will be open to the public from 10 A. M. to 9 P. M. daily. All visitors are welcome, and there is no admission charge. The outstanding work of dozens of famous professional and amateur Leica photographers will be on display, and those who were fortunate enough to see the first exhibit during last spring will certainly agree that the show is well worth seeing. This new show will have most of the original show's pictures plus a good deal of new material recently gathered so that even if you've seen the first show you will not want to miss this second exhibit. Two special lectures by H. W. Zieler will be given in conjunction with the exhibits in Radio City, the exact dates of which have not at this writing been definitely determined. Complete details, which are not at the time this is being written available, may be secured by writing direct to E. Leitz, Inc., or visiting local photographic dealers. SHOOTING THE "QUINTS" (Continued from Page 19) who will be the first one to break into the movies or, maybe, they were just fighting for a close up. Our toughest shot was to get a picture of them all asleep — here we ran into some grief. Just as soon as I would click the camera motor on, one of the children would sit up to see what was going on. Here is where I could have used some of my own manufactured French if I were permitted. We finally succeeded in getting the shot after waiting a couple of hours when they were in slumberland. Marie, the little one and incidentally the most backward of them all has given us all the jitters we ever had and, no doubt, that is why she is Doctor Dafoe's favorite. The more trouble, the better they like them; doctors are funny that way, and mothers. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a stork alighted five or six times down one of those Northern Ontario stove pipes one of these days. Confidentially, between you and me, all the Dionne neighbors in that vicinity are trying to have Quintuplets or Sextuplets these days. Every time a blessed event is expected they ask Dr. Allen Roy Dafoe if he will do his best.

THE 2,000 FOOT REEL The Academy Research Council, meeting early in November, approved the following recommendations of the New York Committee representing the distributing companies, thus paving the way for general industry adoption of the 2000' reel, on April 1, 1936: 1. A reduction in the diameter of the standard 2000' reel to 15", in place of the formerly recommended diameter of 1 5 V2 " , which will allow slightly more space for handling the reel in the theatre projection machine, inasmuch as the great majority of theatre projectors are now equipped with 16" magazines within which the new reel must operate. 2. That a minimum reel length of 1750' be specified and that, except in unusual cases, all reels be so cut in the studio that they will reach the theatre in a length of between 1750' and 2000'. 3. That the studios continue to indicate projection change-overs at the end of the first 1000' of each reel to provide for those theatres which may not as yet be equipped with projection machines which will handle 2000' reels, and which must thus continue to be serviced for a period of time with non-standard 1000' reels. In connection with this the Council approved the method recommended by the Reel Length Subcommittee by which the studios will provide these auxiliary change-overs. W. B. Slaughter of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios was appointed Chairman of a Subcommittee to investigate the merits of a new universal focus lens which has been submitted to the Research Council for testing on behalf of the producing companies. Farciot Edouart of Paramount was also appointed a member of this subcommittee, three additional members of which will be selected by the chairman. In order to facilitate the establishment of various technical standards within the studios the Council appointed a general studio standards subcommittee consisting of the following: J. M. Nickolaus, Chairman, Metro-Goldwy-Mayer; John Aalberg, RKORadio; Lawrence Aicholtz, Universal; John Cass, RKO-Radio; Harry Cohan, Warner Brothers Laboratory; Ralph Dawson, Warner Brothers Laboratory; O. L. Dupy, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Arthur Edeson, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Farciot Edouart, Paramount; Porter Evans (eastern member), Warner Brothers (Brooklyn); Godfrey Fischer, Twentieth Century-Fox; Alan Freedman (eastern member), Fox Laboratory (New York); Lloyd Goldsmith, Warner Brothers-First National; W.
