CALIFORNIA CHAPTER NO. 7 It is indeed gratifying to be able to announce the “main event” for coming Society meetings. Through the efforts of President Burton and his co-ordinates the services of Mr. Watson Jones, resident R. C. A. representative, have been obtained for a series of talks on photophone recording and reproducing equipment. Air. Jones is recognized as being one of the leading sound technicians in the industry and the invaluable data which he has to offer should prove a real treat. The Society is greatly indebted to those organizations which have co-operated so wholeheartedly in offering us such splendid speakers, men outstanding in their chosen branches of the profession, and it is indeed a rare privilege to meet these men face to face and share the fruits of their hours of study and research. We, here in the heart of the picture industry, do not fully appreciate the advantages offered us. We are at times inclined to be a trifle lax in availing ourselves of the opportunity of obtaining first hand information from those devoting their efforts to the betterment of the art of talking pictures. The series of talks offered by Air. Jones will not deal with the elements of sound, tubes, their functions, batteries, and the like, but will be devoted to detailed explanation of the Photophone equipment. Each talk will feature a definite part of the equipment and when possible will be demonstrated by actual contact with the particular phase of the system under discussion. The first of these lectures is to be held Tuesday, March 3rd, and of course will be preceded by the usual repast in the Rathskeller. May I suggest that each and every member of the Society make a special effort to attend this, and every meeting of the series and reap benefits to be derived from it. Thirty one
