MOVIE MAKERS 243 Annual meeting of the ACL THE eighteenth annual meeting of Amateur Cinema League, Inc., was held May 10 at the League's headquarters in New York City. Three directors were reelected for an additional term of three years; they are Mrs. L. S. Galvin, ACL, Dean H.E.B. Speight, ACL, and Floyd L. Vanderpoel, ACL. Reports presented at the meeting of members indicated that the League's membership is on the increase, that Movie Makers subscriptions are increasing— more than eighty four percent in the last twelve months — and that the financial situation of the organization is satisfactory. At the annual meeting of the League's Board of Directors, held following the members' meeting, the Executive Committee of the League was reelected for another year of service; its members are the officers of the League and C. R. Dooley, ACL. The officers of the League hold over as such until the next annual meeting, as their election takes place biennially. Six League members were elected to the League's Fellowship; they will be formally presented to the public in July Movie Makers. The Board adopted resolutions of regret upon the resignation of Arthur L. Gale, ACL, as editor of Movie Makers. C. B. Schlesinger, ACL. was appointed assistant secretary, replacing Mr. Gale in that duty.

For the most part, these were deadly serious people; they were teachers, scientists, surgeons and business men. To them, movies were not entertainment or art; movies were a new facility, to be used for practical purposes. These newcomers to the field of films got in the hair of the entertainment merchants who were all dressed up in their new Art suits by the critics. What did they know about the "film business"? Teachers could send their students to see Midsummer Night's Dream and David Copperfield, if they wanted to use movies in their profession. There was a lot of science in newsreels and theatrical "shorts." And there were "industrial films," packed with the glamor that Hollywood knew so well how to deliver, to help in the sale of motor cars, refrigerators and toilet articles. Why should there be such a demand for practical films? They did not help the movie theatre business, nor were they Art. NOW AVAILABLE!
