	The Good Old Days
		Movietone News was shown in some Gaumont Cinemas (because 20th Century Fox had shares in them) and independents.
		The original Movietone Wall camera and sound amplifier with the glowlamp system may be seen at the Museum of the Moving Image atop a genuine Reo Truck used by Movietone in the late 20s and early 30s.
		Movietone used Humber Super Snipes or Pullmans, the roof was strengthened and covered with ribbed rubber and four tripod clamps fitted to enable the tripod to be mounted either at the front or rear of the roof.

		From 1929 the editor of British Movietone News was Gerald Sanger, and although it was announced in 1935 that Sir Malcolm Campbell had replaced him as editor, Campbell was simply a figurehead and editorial control remained with Sanger as the reel's 'producer'.
		The British Movietone News section of this database was input at the British Movietonews Film Library, with the assistance of its staff, and includes both information from the original issue sheets and additional material from the Movietonews library cards.
		When the new Universal Talking News was launched in July 1930, this pattern was again followed, with Clifford Jeapes, the founder's son, as 'producer and editor', and Snape in daily control as 'news editor'.

	Re: Orphans footage/MIAP project LONG
		Peter Bregman is the sole librarian/archivist at Fox News in New York.
		She has been recently asking similar questions about early Movietone, primarily because she is interested in reconstructing the program of shorts and newsreels that were shown at the premiere of Murnau's SUNRISE (1928), which also used a Movietone soundtrack.
		I mentioned to her that this bit of Movietone was used in National Public Radio's coverage of the Orphans 3 symposium and broadcast on "Weekend All Things Considered" September 28, 2002.

		Before 1956, the news was read in newspapers, heard on ABC radio or seen on the screen during the weekly or more frequent visit to the local movie theatre.
		The main emphasis of both Cinesound and Movietone was on the most populous states but both retained freelance cameramen in the other states and were able to provide a coverage of the whole country.
		While Cinesound and Movietone dominated the Australian scene, the story would not be complete without a mention of Westralian News, which as far as is known was the first and only independent cinema newsreel to be issued in Australia between the demise of the Herald Newsreel and the closing of Australian Movie Magazine.
