Gets the Action'"\n SLOW MOTION! LIKE a flash — it happened! A brief vision of madly dashing ponies — a reckless clash of thun' dering hoofs and men — then the little white ball went soaring towards the goal posts — the winning score of the game. What a colorful picture of strength and endurance — human courage and heedless daring— with which later to enliven the quiet of an evening's fireside — if only mere words could tell the story. No need to try. Today with the aid of the Victor Cine Camera, every detail of such a memorable occasion can be carefully preserved and recorded, not only as it really happened in the space of perhaps a second, but likewise with studied slowness of movement, if desired. Requiring no other adjustment than a quick turn of a button, the Victor Cine Camera is the only 16 mm. motion picture camera made that permits the taking of both normal action and SLOW-motion pictures in the same film, without the need of a special attachment. Modestly priced, the cost of the Victor Cine Camera is $125.00 — less than is asked for any other high grade motion picture camera, complete with an f-3.5 anas tigmat lens, ready for service. To those who would enjoy the thrill of taking their own motion pictures, the selection of the Victor Cine Camera is an assurance of enduring, satisfactory service and brilliant performance. Victor Animatograph Co*, inc. 340 VICTOR BUILDING DAVENPORT, IOWA, U. S. A. Pathex Titles A TITLE device for use with the **• Pathex camera is described in a letter from League member Milton H. Bernstein, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Bernstein describes his device as follows: "The entire length of the title stand over all is 16% inches. It is 5 inches wide and the card holder is 4% inches high. The camera lens is placed exactly ll1/^ inches from the title card and the body of the camera (without the motor) is sunk % inch into the baseboard. In order to bring the card on a level with the lens, it is necessary to raise the card % of an inch from the board. A small holder is placed on each corner of the card holder to keep the cards in place. To make it all look neater, place four short legs, one on each corner of the baseboard. When ready to take titles, place the board so that the sun strikes the card at about an angle of 60 degrees. If it is more convenient to use artificial light, as I am doing, simply attach a small piece of wood under the board, with a piece sticking out about two inches, and place a socket on either side. Use two hundred watt lights in each, with reflectors." The drawing reproduced is explained as follows: A: Camera. B: Base. C: Lights. D: Card Holders. E : Legs. F : Lower part of holder protruding to keep card from slipping. G: Wingbolt holding camera. Summer Shooting TPHE summer months are here and •*• a few suggestions on what and how to shoot may not be amiss. At the Seashore. — Watch your light here. It's very powerful and your trouble will be over-exposure rather than under. A color filter will enhance the effect you get and at the same time cut down excessive light caused by the glare from sea and sand. Get some beautiful wave effects. Place the camera low to exaggerate the height of the waves as they come rolling in, showing the tremendous power of the sea. Get moonlight effects at sunset by under-exposing sea and sky so that dark tones predominate. F-ll or even /-16 with a filter will do it. If you have a surf board, get a real cinematic effect by shooting the riders 534
