Sentry Safety Control Corporation. 13th and Cherry Sts., Philadelphia. 1560 Broadway, And ah Branches of National Theatre Supply Company Condensers Condensers are single glass lenses, unmounted. They are made in various diameters from 2J4 inches to 8 inches in diameter; the Al/i inches diameter and the 8 inches diameter being used mostly in motion picture work. The condenser is located in the front end of iihe lamphouse to gather the rays of light from (the light source, and bend them, or condense them into a spot of light on the aperture. They are made in different shapes, some being Piano Convex, some Meniscus or Moon shape, and others Bi-Convex. Condenser breakage and trouble has been greatly reduced through the perfection and development of heat resisting glass which is tempered and processed to withstand extreme changes of temperature. This, it is declared, has been accomplished without any sacrifice of light on the screen and without impairment of photographic values. Focal lengths for motion picture work are usually 6^2-7^-8^2 and 9y2 inches; 5 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches diameter condensers are usually used for spotlight projection. Within the last two years there has been a development of what is known as the Parabolic condenser, which has made possible the gathering of more light, and a sharp, concentrated spot on the aperture of the picture machine. These Parabolic condensers have been developed for regular arc projection, high intensity arc projection, and mazda projection. They arc a little more expensive than the regular type of condenser, but the results obtained are well worth the price. Prices range from $1.50 to $12.00. BAUSCII & LOHB OPTICAL COMPANY. Rochester.

Cooling, Ventilating Systems Capable of delivering 35,000 cubic feet of fresh air per minute into every part of the theatre, cooling and ventilating systems are being adopted by theatres of all sizes. Systems of this type are reasonably priced, ranging in cost from $400 upward. They may be installed in various parts of the theatre, a common place being below the stage. Under this arrangement distribution of the air is upward, the air passing to the rear of the auditorium and dropping naturally to every seat. In theatres having an organ installed at one side of the proscenium the opposite of the proscenium affords a good place for a cooling unit. A pent house on the roof at the rear of the auditorium is another manner in which the system may be installed to assure excellent results. In fact, regardless of the nature of the theatre, cooling and ventilating systems of this type may be readily adapted to it. Manufacturers of this equipment maintain cooling and ventilating experts and offer a service of recommending the most efficient arrangement for the complete cooling and ventilating of a theatre. The systems may be installed without interruption to the regular performances. American Blower Company, 6004 Russell street, Detroit. Mich. American Carbonic Machinery Company, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.

J* M Controls, Curtain Refer to CURTAIN CONTROL MACHINES i$ i£ Costumes and Costume Fabrics Costumes and costume fabrics for the stage must meet many demands, and for that reason this is a specialized field. These fabrics must be of unusual textures for glittering display behind the footlights or in the spot. The costumes may represent a nation, a period or a class, and such costuming must be the work of a skilled costumer whose knowledge of peoples and periods is unlimited. The fine costume fabrics are both domestic and of foreign make. Costumes are made to order, sold outright, or provided on a rental basis. Eastman Brothers' Studios.
