ParkTOne Laboratory 1250-51st*St. — Brooklyn, N. Y. "Why I film" contest prizewinner Movie Makers is happy to announce as the winner of its "Why I Film" contest, Arthur H. Ewald, ACL, Cincinnati-, Ohio. To Mr. Ewald has gone the fifty dollar check, the only prize of the contest. Mr. Ewald's letter — one of the shortest of all those received — won the highest rating from the three judges, Hiram Percy Maxim, President, Amateur Cinema League, Walter R. Hine, vicepresident, J. Walter Thompson Company, advertising agency, and Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley, authority on business letters. This winning letter will be published in March Movie Makers. Letters were received from all parts of the world in this contest. Several letters were written in German, one in French and one in Danish. India was the most distant country from League headquarters that was represented among the contestants. Among those competing were government officials, professional men and women, industrialists and manufacturers, professional movie makers, housewives and business women. There will appear later in Movie Makers an anaylsis of the chiefly impelling reasons why amateurs film, as learned from the letters submitted for the contest. The prize winner, Mr. Ewald, is an attorney — patent and corporation — of Cincinnati, an active movie maker of some years' standing and an active member of the Amateur Cinema League. It is of interest that the sample letter with which this contest was announced was written by an attorney of New York City, Olin Potter Geer, ACL, and that the contest winner was a member of the same profession. It is evident that literary capacity, law and movie making are not an unusual combination. Others whose contest letters were considered as high ranking by the judges were Mrs. Moris Burge, ACL, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Alice I. Wright, of New York City and Werner Hochbaum, an innkeeper of Magdeburg, Germany. While the detailed analysis of the reasons that lead people to film must await the fuller study to come, it is, nevertheless, noteworthy that the quality of the letters received was uniformly high. Many discussed not only the reasons that led them, personally, to become active movie makers but, as well, the philosophic background of amateur filming. All of the letters were interesting and the great majority of them were the reflective and reasoned discussions that one might expect from men and women of superior intelligence and community standing.
