By Arthur L.Gale '27 and Kiig Pessels. Coward-McCann Inc., New York, 1939- $3.50
This is a fascinating handbook of 227 pages on movie making for amateurs and professionals. The volume is just off the presses and the fact that Arthur Gale is one of its authors is enough to make every member of the Amateur Cinema League of America buy a copy, or want to do so. For he is editor of Movie Makers, the handsome monthly magazine of the League. That what he knows about the socalled home, or 16 mm., movies has at last become available to the legions of folks who own movie cameras is good news. Not all that Art Gale knows is in the book but enough to give the most experienced, as well as the most inexperienced, exposer of movie film the most valuable pointers he could find anywhere,
The book is liberally illustrated with diagrams and pictures—what you should and should not do. Here's one enthusiast of still and motion picture making who recommends the Gale-Pessels instructions, and very heartily.
