Movie Makers (Jun-Dec 1928)

ANNUAL MEETING of the AMATEUR CINEMA LEAGUE ALL of the present directors of the Amateur Cinema League, Inc., were re-elected for another year of service at the annual meeting of the League held in its headquarters in New York City May 9, 1928. At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the League, which immediately followed the annual members' meeting, no officers were chosen, as they had been elected for a two-year term at the 1927 annual members' meeting and as all of the officers had been re-elected as directors. The present executive committee of the Board, Messrs. Maxim, Voorhees, Hanmer, Hebert and Winton were re-elected by the directors for the ensuing year. The reports of officers disclosed the fact that the progress of the League is highly satisfying. There are members, or subscribers to Movie Makers, in close to fifty countries, outside of the United States. The League is recognized as the international headquarters for amateur cinematography. MoviE Makers has made a conspicuous success in quality and in the number of its readers. An effort is now in progress to secure a greater number of members for the organization. The technical consultation service and the club and photoplay consultation service are aiding about three thousand persons annually, it was estimated. The League has offered League film leaders and Movie Makers binders to its members at cost. A study of amateur films is in progress under League auspices to determine the average quality of amateur pictures, as made by individual amateurs. The operations of the League and Movie Makers, it was disclosed through the report of the treasurer, presenting the audit of a firm of certified public accountants, are conducted at a monthly profit and a substantial cash balance is in hand. These profits are being used to increase the scope and quality of League services to members, to improve Movie Makers wherever practicable and required, to secure a larger League membership and to reduce the pioneer organization expense. The managing director recommended that all League members be prepared, when the tariff question is again presented in Congress, to make adequate representation for a removal of the existing customs duty on amateur films brought into the country from abroad.

Hill St., Los Angeles A Letter about Koloray from W. STERLING SUTFIN Foreign Publicity Manager Remington Typewriter Company May 12, 1928. Beckley 6? Church, Inc. 326 Cutler Building Rochester, New York Dear Sirs: Pictures which I have projected countless times have taken on a startling new beauty when projected with a KOLORAY. When using the two-color feature of the KOLORAY it is sometimes difficult to convince spectators that the films themselves are not hand'tinted so perfectly do the colors blend — in fact the pictures often have a stereoscopic quality which makes it appear that more than two colors are being used. Over-exposures are automatically corrected and the amber filter reduces eye-fatigue and gives pictures a professional quality. Certainly I have never spent $7.50 for a motion picture appliance which has given me greater satisfaction and pleasure than your KOLORAY — I use it in one way or another on every film I project. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) W. STERLING SUTFIN, Foreign Publicity Manager. K OLORA 'Professional color effects for home movies" Y Descriptive literature on request. BECKLEY and CHURCH, INC.
