Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Unstated edition. (no dust jacket) [modest external wear, very slight exposure of boards at several corners, a touch of fraying at the top of the spine, large piece of front endpaper torn away, property stamp of one-time owner (Wm. M. Dennis Film Libraries, Los Angeles) on title page]. (B&W photographs, diagrams, advertisements) A thoroughgoing technical explanation of the workings of the various motion picture apparati of the early talkies era. Co-author Cameron (no relation to today's some-would-say-visionary filmmaker) was something of a one-man publishing mogul in this limited field; a brief bio in the front of the book explains that he'd been connected with the motion picture industry since 1903, and had published 14 books about the making and showing of movies, including the industry-standard "Motion Picture Projection." The other author, Joseph Dubray (sometimes rendered as Du Bray), was a veteran Hollywood cinematographer who seems to have retired at the end of the silent era, even though he would have only been in his late forties at that time.
