-HE best movies aren't made in cameras! Cinema Leaguers know it. Such movies are taken with a camera, and are made over a splicing block.
It's almost impossible to take a movie as you want to show it. Long scenes must be shortened, poor ones deleted, others rearranged for improved continuity. Titles must be ordered, or made, and then dropped into position. Perhaps the finished film will need cleaning. Certainly it should be snugly wound on larger reels and stored in dustproof film cans.
Eastman offers an unusually complete line of editing accessories, some of which are shown here. Check the list against your movie kit to see how many you need to help you groom your summer's crop of film for fine fall showings. Then see your Cine-Kodak dealer — he has them all, or can obtain them for you.

A film is no stronger than its weakest splice
A good splicer is of prime importance — a splicer that cuts both film and time, and makes fast splices that hold. Which is exactly what you get in the Kodascope Universal Splicer, for either S mm. or 16 mm. film. Clamps hold the film as an attached double-bladed knife shears both film ends in one operation. A touch of the brush from the water bottle, and a secured scraper is drawn across one film end to remove surplus emulsion. A touch of the cement brush from the other bottle, and finger pressure swings the other clamped film end over and down into position, welding the splice in a few seconds' time.
The Splicer should certainly be first on your list. Fitting all horizontal rewinds, the new improved Universal Splicer is priced at only $12.50.

The Kodascope Film Viewer is a time and trouble saving device little less than essential to all who plan any considerable amount of film editing. It may be used with any horizontal rewind. Plug the Viewer's connecting cord into a home lighting socket, thread the film into the gate, wind the film forward or backward — film images are magnified into brilliant pictures on the Viewer's ground-glass screen. By pressing a lever located at the Viewer's gate an identifying nick is made on the edge of the film directly alongside the film frame shown on the screen. These nicks, which do not in any way mar the images or hinder further projection, are easily located by eye or by touch when trimming or rearranging scenes. Specify whether you want Kodascope Film Viewer for use with 8 mm. or 16 mm. film. Price, $12.50.
Who ... where . . . when . . . what?
Those are the gaps that titles fill — and Cine-Kodak Titler is the easiest device with which to fill them. With the handy, inexpensive Titler you have no need of skill with pen or brush. Just slip one of the cards supplied with the Titler into a typewriter . . . tap out your title . . . place the card in the Titler's easel, and press the exposure button on your Cine-Kodak — the Titler's auxiliary lens will bring the standard lens into focus on the card so that the typewriter type in the resultant title will be clearly legible.
Yet the Titler imposes no restrictions or handicaps upon those who wish to attempt more ambitious title effects. Snapshot prints, post cards, wallpaper, illustrations from advertisements, decorative papers — all may be used as title backgrounds. Price, only $6.50.
