An extensive and interesting series of technical papers was presented during the four days' sessions and in spite of the tropical temperature, the papers sessions were very well attended. One of the outstanding features of the papers session was a demonstration of a projector with an optical intermittent. The quality of the projected image was of such a high order of excellence that your president has suggested that the Projection Committee investigate very thoroughly and report at an early date on the subject of projection with optical intermittents.
Excellent facilities were available for the projection of sound films and this was made possible through the courtesy of the RCA Photophone, Inc., and the General Theaters Equipment Corporation. Messrs. J. Frank, Jr., and H. Griffin were in charge of projection and the services of the projectionists were donated by Local No. 224 to which the Society is indebted.
