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.

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.
