"IN OLD CHICAGO" is headed for a., early preview ana this 20th Centuxy-Fol picture will reveal not only a story that reaches deep into the history of the midwest's metropolis in the 80's hut also some of the most spectacular scenes in motion pic ture history. These stills by Frank Powolny, membei of Local
659. IATSE, show in the top strip the bucket brigades fighting to save their homes; below in the top strip the oldtime fire engines and lower strip the citizens of Chicago, victims of the fire, among them the pioneer spirits who rebuilt a newer and greater city on the site of the catastrophe.
eliminated without materially affecting the seeing power of the eye.
Pola and other polarizing screens for use on cameras have been in use for some time, but only recently have polarized lenses been available in eyeglasses.
A pair of polarized eye-glasses were tried under various lighting conditions on the set for several weeks and the experience proved that there is little room for argument as to their value in reducing extraneous glare and useless highlights. These glasses are virtually invalu
able to soundmen, who have occasion to focus lamps and slits in projectors and recorders, since they reduce glare without losing image visibility. For any other craft having the same problems, they undoubtedly are worth investigating.
At present there are two types on the market: Polarized, made by the Marks firm (these can be made to fit prescriptions if necessary ) and the Polaroid brand, made and marketed jointly by Bausch & Lomb and American Optical Company. Prices range from S3. 75 to
$15.00. The Marks type, incidentally can be purchased in a style that snaps over eye-glasses and is practically free from spherical aberration, hence can be used also as a low cost polarizing screen with any of the smaller cameras by suitable mounting in front of the camera lens.
Optical experts point out. however, that while these glasses have a value for studio technicians, they are not a panacea for all glare problems and for many people may be valueless in reducing sun-glare.
