SCI-IEIBK PHOTO-FILTER SPECIALIST events in the life of a protagonist — called, simply, "The Man" — which symbolize the eternal round of cruelties under which every human being must make his life journey. The Man suffers from the Cruelty of Woman, the Cruelty of Men, and the Cruelty of Destiny. He is betrayed by his wife, is imprisoned and, on emerging from prison, is rejected everywhere by society. Because of a physical resemblance to a local bandit, he is eventually assassinated by a peasant whom the bandit has wronged. The Man, in the last scene, drags himself, mortally wounded, to die at the foot of a crucifix, "eternal symbol of the cruelties of life." This film is reported to have many technical points of interest such as dissolves, double photography and a double-role for the Man and the bandit. The author is now engaged in developing a camera for his own use. Experts Photoplay A T the last meeting of the Motion **■ Picture Division of the Cleveland Photographic Society a photoplay, "The Crooked House," filmed and directed by H. S. Shagren, secretary of the Division, was projected. The story is a mystery tale similar to the film version of "The Cat and the Canary." New lighting effects were used to create an atmosphere of mystery and horror and several double exposures were introduced in this 16 mm. film. The remainder of the program was devoted to a critical screening of members' films. The Division's experimental and technical work continues. One of the members has recently constructed a 35 mm. step printer. The club now has equipment for developing both 35 and 16 mm. widths. Rochester Active 'T'HE Rochester Cinema Club is ■* taking great care with the production of "The Lugger" in an effort to set a high standard for future amateur photoplays. Production has been under way for some time, but the picture will not be finished for several months. In the meantime club members are taking shots for a composite city film that will be called "Rochester— Its Life and Character." Recent programs of the club included a demonstration of how orchestral accompaniments are scored for pictures, given by Victor Wagner, assisted by the Eastman Theatre Orchestra. Three different types of pictures were scored. The program was enriched by a discussion by Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, president of Eastman Teaching Films, Inc., on the use of motion pictures in classroom instruction, an illustrated talk by Joseph Coffman on making animated motion pictures and FREE A NU-TIRAN TILTING and PANORAMING HEAD Value $12.00 With every order for Six (6) 100 ft.
