"'Kleptomania,' the entry of Bion Vogel of the Los Angeles 8mm. Club, was an excellent black and white scenario film. Its main weakness lay in uneven lighting and composition." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1938, 76.
"This film had a strikingly unusual theme and one which was slow to grow upon the spectators. But grow it did, and had the cinematographer-director been able to lavish a bit more attention on the pictorial attractiveness of some of his shots, and had he, as producer, clarified his plot with a few more titles, the film might well have been a winner. It is, however, a notable production, for seldom if ever before has an amateur filmer attempted to put on the screen so unusual a story." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1938, 76.
"Four 8mm. films, however, found places among the honorable mentions. Included among these may be mentioned Earl Cochran's 'gay 90's' melodrama, 'The Engineer's Daughter,' which, in addition to being most amusing, was well photographed, excellently acted and costumed, and a more than ordinarily creditable job of production. It suffered, however, from a few strictly technical shortcomings — mostly in directing." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1938, 76.
This was one of five films Rocker submitted to the American Cinematographer contest of 1937 on the subject of "the service given by some municipal agency of his home city of Cleveland." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1938, 78.
"In this connection, one of the honorable mention films, William Murphy's 'If Rugs Could Talk,' deserves special mention. Consisting of close-ups of hands and feet in a manner perhaps too reminiscent of the still remembered 1932 prize film, 'I'd Be Delighted [To],' 'If Rugs Could Talk' was a technical achievement of the first order, for it consisted entirely of interior scenes, made by artificial light, and photographed entirely on positive film, reversal-processed at home." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1938, 75.
"R. C. Denny, S.A.C, was awarded the Weston Cine Exposure Meter Model 819, contributed by its manufacturers, for 'Scenic Wonders of the Southwest,' an 800-foot subject in color." American Cinematographer, Jan. 1938, 28.
