MOGULL'S, Inc.— NEW YORK, N. Y. Arrangement of Programs Complete programs arranged for traveling theatres, churches, schools, clubs, hotels, hospitals, sanitariums, camps, industrial organizations and study groups. We are happy to cooperate without charge in rendering this assistance. May we suggest: (1) That you state clearly the purpose of your organization, your proposed program, character of audience, place of exhibition, and anticipated result through the use of pictures. (2) Advise us of your first exhibition date, your regular weekly day (or days) when you will exhibit films, as well as the number of reels desired. With this information we can then arrange an advance schedule for you. (3) When sending in your order for rental or purchase, always mention second, third or additional choice for substitution whenever possible so as to avoid disappointment in the event that the film is out on rental or is no longer in stock. (4) You can secure lower rates as well as obtain a better selection of our rental films by booking them in blocks of 5, 10 or 20 programs in advance. You can save C.O.D. charges by sending payment with order. (5) NEW TITLES are consistantly being added to our extensive library; if you are seeking some title or subject which you do not see listed, please advise us, as it may be in stock or we may be able to secure it for you. (6) Read carefully the Terms of Service on page 1. Telegrams For the convenience of our library members we designate each subject listed in this catalogue with a "code word" so that when a program is ordered by telegram one word will be sufficient in designating a full length title. Use code words whenever possible and save money. All telegrams, of whatever nature, must be sent to us prepaid. When a reply is requested by telegram, all messages will be sent charges collect. Care of Projectors Follow carefully the instructions sent with your projector. Avoid film damage! Be sure to keep the gate of your machine clean. A certain amount of emulsion from film accumulates and this should be removed with a bone scraper. Use only a small amount of oil — but oil frequently. Be sure to leave a full loop at both the top and bottom of the gate. Most damage to film is caused by not allowing sufficient loop or by not noticing a loss of loop while projecting films. Occasionally "feel" the film while it is being projected at the point just before it enters the take-up spool, to see if any damage is being done to the sprocket holes. Do not use a warped or damaged take-up spool. Have your machine inspected periodically so that worn parts can be replaced. VERY IMPORTANT. — Films are expensive, so allow only a competent person fully acquainted with the operation and care of your machine to operate it. Note: If a film breaks, do not fasten together with pins or clips as these tear the hands of our operators when inspecting. Be sure and return any loose damaged pieces so that we may make proper repairs.
