Reader Gould is so right. 1t was
Down Beat, all right. If we ever
find out how we sat and looked
at a magazine with its name
printed in great big red letters
and then called it something else,
Mr.. Gould will be first to know
the explanation.

The fanc1ful language employed
by press agents often has been
the cause of some eyebrow-raising
around here. 1t is only fair then
just to keep the record straight
that credit be given when credit
is due. This is the week, we want
you to know, when the press
agent for the Casino Royal has
used the word unique" correctly
Not the painful most unique,
but just plain unique"
"Highlighting the new floor
show at the Casino Royal" says
the press release, is Francita,
with the unique title. Hollywood S
First Lady of Radium.'
Unique is the word for that
title, all right.
X n
Unique also is a word that in a
way fits Henry Brandon, the new
orchestra leader at the Mayf1ower
Lounge. Mr.. Brandon never was
a child prodigy, as it sometimes
seems all other musicians have
been. He was II years old before
he started taking piano lessons,
an age when half the people in
the music business already were
pouring their wizardry into the
ears of the crowned heads of
Europe. And Mr.. Brandon was an
aging high school boy before he
learned to play the B-flat clarinet
well enough to become the ma
tional high school champion OF
B-f1at clarinetists.
This championship led Mr..
Brandon into a life where he al
ways seemed to be giving up
something else in favor of music.
The first thing he gave up was
a college scholarship, relinquished
in favor of touring with his first
orchestra. an. outfit known as the
Hot-Ten Tots. Later this group
became the Campus Owls, which
might not be much Of name but
may fairly be considered change
for the better from Hot-Ten Tots.
Mr.. Brandon turned himself
over to the Chicago mills Of COM
merce after awhile. getting job
in the art department OF Mont
gomery Ward & Co. Despite con-
tinuing series of Chicago one
nighters. he applied himself so
carefully to art that he became
the assistant director of the de-
partment. The musical dates piled
up, though, and this assistant
dictatorship of an art department
was the next thing Mr.. Brandon
gave up for music. -
He has stayed with that ever
since, mostly at Chicago theaters
and hotels, building up quite
following out there. Come to think
of it, Mr.. Brandon is twice unique.
He not only was not a child
prodigy, but it is almost certain
that he is the only practicing
bandleader extant who once was
assistant director of the art de-
partment for Montgomery Ward
g. Co.
One Of the things overlooked
around here in the holiday tur-
moil was the report that the
Lotus launched the new year with
a slick entertainment. The girls
can dance. their costumes are
brightly neat. clearly expensive
and glamorous enough to give a
new look to the chorus routines,
even though these are basically
the same ones that Lindsay Lovely
Ladies have been doing for years.
The speciality acts in the Lotus
show are talented. too. and it's
altogether a pleasant session.

Camera Angles
The Trouble With Amateur Movies

I sometimes wonder why ANA
teur movies are 50 consistently
bad. Now my grippe Is not con-
cerned with exposure, because it's
almost impossible for any one who
uses an exposure meter to shoot
footage that turns out poorly
from that standpoint. The one
great fault Of amateur movies is
the fact that not one in q hundred
knows how to tell q story with
motion pictures.
1t is reasonably certain that
most every one who allows the
footage to slip through his camera
has the idea that he is telling
some kind Of story. Then, when
the film comes back from the
flnisher, there is seldom anything
to show but a series of unintelli-
gible scenes that have little If any
relation to one another. And
when some feeble effort at con-
tinuity is achieved, the effect is
usually Cancelled out because Of
dreary. monotonous singleness
of viewpoint or other reasons that
stamp the film as the work Of the
uninitiate.
There is no excuse at all for this
condition. I say this because at
least once or twice q week we ali
go to the movies or witness their
transmission by television. And
what better school could there be?
Here are revealed the shooting
techniques Of the best motion pic
ture cameramen In the world.
There Is nothing to stop you from
observing. learning and ulti-
mately using most. If not all, in
the production Of your own home
movies. :.
Technical Side Revealed.
The great trouble lies in the
fact that We go to the movies to
be entertained and, reasonably

enough. fail to "see" the techni-
cal side Of the production. It is
almost impossible to enjoy the
unfolding story, if we concentrate
on the methods used. So the
answer to that one, Of course, is
to see a picture for a second time
or more, If necessary. Enjoy the
picture the first time for the story.
Then sit through it again and
see just how the camerman re-
acted to different situations with
changes Of camera angle. changes
Of lighting for dramatic effect,
and particularly. how the camera
moved in and out as the story
unfolds.
Then 60 home and take out
your best effort and screen it and
you will begin to see why your
Aims lack the professional ap-
proach. Each of the professional
directors of photography has his
own technique and seldom will
you find two alike. Therefore, you
will do well to repeat this expert
ment as often as you can, making
notes Of the unusual techniques
so that later you can adapt them
to your own filming.
Certain characteristics are COM
mon to all professional movie
films. These you will recognize
in each Aim you see. First and
very important will be the factor
Of absolute steadiness. No Holly
wood production was ever made
with 4 hand-held camera. And
this rule should apply just as
forcibly to the work Of the anna
