REYNOLDS 165 E. 191st St. Cleveland, Ohio. O Amateur movies of the recent revolution in Spain were secured by Mrs. Claire McDowell Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, who, on the day following the departure of the King and the declaration of the Republic, made this exciting use of her camera in the crowded streets of Madrid. The people, many in carnival costume and all wearing the Republican colors, were in holiday mood and, as an amusing result of the talkies, often stopped to shout, "Viva La Republica," into her camera. J. H. McNabb, president of B & H, films the Leviathan captain for film record ■ Rapid spread of the movement to establish personal movie theaters in the homes of amateurs is borne out by the increasing number of these little cinemas which are being reported. One of the most recent is that of Robert Surridge of Baltimore, Maryland, who is incorporating a specially designed cine room in the plan of a new home now under construction. In Philadelphia, Clifford Sanders has, over a period of months, used seven hundred feet of wire in rigging the eighty stage lights, control switches, three automatic curtains, two dimmer boards and double projection equipment that are a part of his unusually complete home theater arrangements. Other home theater news comes from Mahlon Ely, Hutchinson, Kansas, who reports discontinuation for the summer of a series of weekly movie parties in his basement theater for the children of the community. As a final feature of his Saturday afternoon movie parties Mr. Ely filmed the forty youngsters of the audience and screened the film the following week. Charlie Chaplin and ''Our Gang" comedies were as nothing compared to this thrill. Announcing the new WILLO Cine Exposure Meter and View Finder At last, there has been placed on the market, an instrument which may be justly termed the Ideal Exposure Meter. The Willo may be used with any motion picture camera. It is simplicity itself . . . requires no computing and no adjusting. You merely look thru the meter; you SEE the subject and SEE the exact diaphragm setting in an instant. The diaphragm number seen in the meter is the diaphragm to be employed on your lens. The scale, on the outside of the meter, indicates changes when using slower or faster variable camera speeds or when employing filters. The Willo Cinemeter also shows immediately when Kodacolor is possible or when Neutral Density Filters are suitable. In other words, it has every conceivable requirement essential for amateur cinematography, combined with utmost simplicity in operation and a 100% accuracy. The object to be photographed is clearly and permanently visible in the meter — you see at what you aim; and, moreover, the finderpicture in the meter corresponds exactly to the image on the 1 6 mm. film with a one inch lens. You may select your position and read the exposure at the same time, before even reaching for the camera — and, then, there is nothing more to do than to "shoot."
