Movie Makers (Jun-Dec 1928)

chinery and shots of thunder storms and burning houses were accomplished by miniature work. New lighting effects were introduced and the whole picture has something of the atmosphere of "Metropolis." The story was written by F. N. Andrews, founder of the A. C. A., and B. Carlton. Mr. Andrews directed the production and J. Ahern was cameraman and arranged the model work. Included in the same program were shots taken from an airplane by L. Isaacs and "All by Hand" produced by Mr. Brice. The story of this film is unfolded entirely by shots of the hands and feet of the dramatis personae. At this meeting, G. H. Sewell was announced as the winner of the Association's scenario contest who said that the production of the scenario would begin immediately. At a previous meeting of the A. C. A. a contest was held for the selection of the best feminine director which was won by Miss Andrews. An impromtu farce was produced at this meeting by the members present. T. J. Wilson, Hon. secretary of the Amateur Cinematographers' Association, has extended a cordial invitation to all League members traveling in England to visit any of the Association's meetings in London. The address of the Association is 59 Old Bailey, London E. C. 4. Program meetings are held weekly. Plans for the production of a comedy under the working title of "Aladdin's Lamp" have been made by the Amateur Movie Makers Club of Sheffield, England, branch of the A. C. A. The plot of the farce, written by Arthur D. Hobson and R. F. Unwin, is laid in misty antiquity and leads up to the present. The Derbyshire moors have been chosen as the location. Recent meetings of the club have been devoted to the projection of member's films, among them a newsreel scoop of the visit of the King of Afghanistan to Sheffield. The scenario of "The Black Bear" now being filmed by the Manchester Film Society, Manchester, England, is based on an old Cheshire legend. Three tramps who stop at the Black Bear Inn, stolen jewels and false accusations furnish enough excitement for fifteen hundred (standard) feet. Three cameras are being used and the club is planning to do part of the laboratory work. The film is being directed by Peter Le Neve Foster. Ruth Tonge is camerawoman, H. W. Greenwood, assistant director and Arthur Bromley, assistant cameraman. The mistress of the inn is played by Mrs. Le Neve Foster and the three tramps by J. K. Clayton, Jack Tweedale and T. Alfred. The Manchester Film Society is an A. C. A. affiliation. ^cA^lX)/ GOERZ ' ENSES By popular demand the complete line of Goerz Lenses has been made available to owners of the Model B Cine-Kodak F-1.9.
