"OUR library for amateur clubs has received its first European addition, one hundred and ten feet of Viennese scenes made by Carl M. Kotlik, of the Club der KinoAmateure Oesterreichs, of Vienna, Austria. Every member of the League visiting Vienna will find a hearty welcome from Mr. Kotlik and the members of the club of which he is president. Vienna, the city of music and beauty, offers much to the cineamateur. Mr. Kotlik may be found at 21 Justgasse, Vienna." (Gale 101)

"The Austrian Amateur Movie Club has secured a studio and permanent meeting place well equipped for experimental work and is planning the production of a comedy, "Travelers." The scenario was written by Carl M. Kotlik, League member, who will direct the picture. Carl Pleyer and Ing. Adolf Holub will do the camera work. Recent programs for these lively Austrian amateurs included talks on the development of amateur cinematography in Austria, the elements of cinematography and the growth of the use of amateur motion pictures in science. The club plans an instruction film for amateurs." (Gale 549)

"At the second meeting of the Amateur Movie Club of Riverside, Calif., "Vienna," produced by the Austrian Amateur Movie Club and "The Norfolk Case," filmed by the Motion Picture Club of New Haven, Conn., were screened." (Gale 618)
