The Cover Story:
Century Projectors at MPAA
This classically beautiful private screening room is in the offices of the Motion Picture Association of America in Washington, where under Eric Johnston the American motion picture industry is represented to the world, and where many pictures are evaluated as to their effect, and chances of success, in the world market. The projection room is equipped with Century Projector Corp. s 70/35 projector, staffed by the MPO Local 224 gentlemen featured on the front cover. This screening room entertains the leaders of the motion picture industry, government officials, as well as diplomats from all over the world.
The Motion Picture Association of America, Inc.'s screening room in Washington, D. C. is one of the outstanding screening rooms in the world — in fact, those who have visited this exquisite room come away with the feeling that they have enjoyed America's pastime (movies) in the atmosphere of a beautiful living room.
As for motion picture presentation facilities, the MPAA projection booth has everything from 16mm to 70mm equipment.
The new Century American-made 70/35mm projectors as well as the Century multiple 6-4-1 channel AllTransistor sound equipment was supplied and installed by H. C. Dusman of the firm of J. F. Dusman Co. of Baltimore, Md., established in 1912. The Dusman Co. has been a Century dealer for over 35 years. In addition to the 70/35mm equipment, auxiliary interlocks for 3D or separate sound heads were installed, which makes this room unique in every respect.
J. Al Pratt, consulting projection engineer, member of Local 224 MPO, was in direct charge of the installation completed March 15, 1963. iP

EDITORIAL
from page 3 The projectionist in the smaller and late-run theatres has to struggle with damaged film, because the exchanges don't carefully inspect the film that goes out to theatres.
The craftsman in run-down theatres struggles with worn-out projectors, lamp houses and sound systems.
It's a fine tribute to the projectionist that many film theatre patrons see tolerable pictures, and that's due to the craftsman's skills and knowhow about wet-nursing these wornout projectors, lamps, sound system and rectifiers. iS8
