is column combines a love of stereo 7"photography with a fondness for 7950s-era styling, design and decor by sharing amateur stereo slides shot in the "golden age" of the Stereo Realist-the late 1940s throuah the early 1960s. From clothing and hairstyles to home decor to modes of tronsportation, these frozen moments of time show what things were really like in the middle of the twentieth century.

Well, in this case, quite a bit. As an avid stereographer, Kahle took hundreds of stereos of family, friends, special events, Hollywood and its environs, and behind the scene production shots of some of his film folk friends.

He became the darling and favorite photographer of many of the studios most prestigious actors and directors.

Kahle During his lifetime, stereo photography was a passionate hobby for Alex Kahle. He left behind thousands of stereo images on paper and glass, including even a few Autochromes. His first foray into stereo photography dates back to 1918. These images are small format prints, probably from 45 x 107 mm glass stereo negatives, and mostly include family, friends and Dock scene in the 1930 Fox western The Big Trail with john Wayne and Margaret a few landscapes. The camera used Churchill. for these images is unknown. During his Hollywood tenure, he used a ~eidosco~stereo camera made by Franke and Heldecke of Germany, ideal for 6 x 13 cm format prints, although he mounted the (sometimes just slightly enlarged) pairs on seven inch wide cards. The images showcased in this portfolio of his work were taken in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the studios in which he worked. Between 1930 and 1931, he worked at Fox Studio. Starting in 1932, and until his retirement in the mid 19.50~~he worked for RKO Studio with loan outs to Ginger Rogen during the hlming of the 1933 RKO comedy Rafter Romance with Samuel Goldwyn's company. Norman Foster. The images on these pages are just a small sampling of the stereos taken by Alex P. Kahle that have never before been published. His behind the scenes production stereos reveal parts of Hollywood filmmaking history seldom seen. Hopefully this article will bring renewed recognition to the artistry of one of Hollywood's finest still photographers, whose images, both flat and stereo, are considered icons of American cinema from its Golden Age.

The close inter-lens spacing requires that the barrels be slightly turned down. It can also use Kodak's 102mm or 125mmlf2.8 projection lenses unmodified. The base projector is priced without lenses so you can pick the most suitable optics for your needs. The new low-voltage illumination system with EXW lamps installed is about 150 percent or a full 1.5 flstops brighter than the previous Dissolver model that used ELH lamps, a significant gain in brightness. (The XR can also use EXR lamps, which don't have the light output of EXWs, but offer double the lamp life.) The rectangular condensers and polarizers show no visible vignetting even when full-frame 35mm pairs are projected. The XB uses "hot mirrors" made of high-temperature Roroflote glass

This relatively new technology absorbs only a fraction of the light siphoned off by older heat absorbers. More light is passed to the slide gate, resulting in a brighter image onscreen. All projectors make tradeoffs '"""'"I-., between heat and brightness, and the new technologies incorporated into the XU don't mean that the design eliminates the problems related to heat, but it can really push the envelope on brightness. The brighter EXW lamps generate more heat, which the hot mirrors help control. Rut that brightness comes at the expense of lamp life (the EXWs are rated at a relatively brief 15 hours) and heat. There are two other, lower-output lamps - the FHS, rated at 70 hours, and the EXY, a whopping 200 hours-that might provide acceptable (and Partially removed, the three stage optical cage with the condenser lenses visible.

Rut, as Brian Bowers writes in his book Sir Charles W/ieatstone (Crown: 1975), "There is nothing, however, to suggest that Euclid understood the stereoscopic effect achieved with binocular vision." In the 2nd century AD, the physician Galen, with his writing On tlie use of tlie direrent parts of the Hrrman Body, noted that a person standing near a column and observing first with the left eye and then with the right eye will see different portions of the background behind the column. Similarly, Leonardo da Vinci (1452- 1519) in his Trattato della PiMtra remarked that a point on a painting plane can never show relief in the same way as a solid object. The first published mention of Wheatstone's stereoscope is in the third edition of Herbert Mayo's
