RESONANCE FIG 6j total hindrance offered by the circuit to the flow of current as the effective resistance which is equal to L in henrys * X (6.28 X F)2 Ref f = R in ohms where R is the resistance of the inductance, and F is the frequency. The parallel resonant circuit is also a frequency controlled bypass circuit ; that is, can be applied as such. Before showing its applications it might be well to quote methods of determining the constants of L and C in order to secure resonance at some predetermined frequency. The following formulae represent the simplest means of solving for the resonant frequency and neglecting the effect of the resistance upon the resonant frequency. This is possible in all audio frequency operation because of the negligible effect of R upon the constants for a simple series or parallel resonant circuit. The resonant frequency 159.2 V L in henrys X C in microfarads 1000 6.28\/L in henrys X C in microfarads 5033 F = VL in millihenrys X C in microfarads 159,200 F = VL in microhenry s X C in microfarads If the resonant frequency and the inductance are known, the required capacity to resonate at the known frequency may be determined from 159.22 C = PXL where C is in microfarads and L is in henrys. The application of the parallel resonant circuit will be considered in Lesson 21. Erratum Notice. — Two figures in Lesson 19 were designated as Figures 64. This was in error. The correct figure t>4 is that illustrating the variation of capacity and inductive re~ sistance with frequency. U3WER. t HIGHER RESONANCE FREGLUEWCY PIG66B. 'Casey' Citizens Prefer Talkers To Flesh Shows Kansas City — The Midland theatre, first run Loew house, eliminated its vaudeville in June and reduced its admission price from 60 cents top to 40 cents, telling the public the straight picture policy and the low admission would prevail for eight weeks only. The eight weeks have passed, the admission price stays at 40 cents and no one on the theatre staff knows anything about the return of the stage shows. At present the Mainstreet and the Pantages are the only picture houses offering flesh entertainers, the former presenting RKO vaudeville and the Pan using Fanchon & Marco units. The Empress, burlesque, is housing the Mutual wheel. Last week the Shubert announced it would open Oct. 6 with "It's a Wise Child." The Orpheum, for the last two years presenting dramatic stock, will not reopen. Five years ago Kansas City was considered a good legitimate show town. The last two years legitimate has had tough sledding, although the Shubert has been booking the best of the road companies. Kansas Citians seem to have adopted the talkers as their favorite theatrical fare. Publix in Fremont Fort Wayne, Ind. — A. M. Strauss, local architect, has been employed by Paramount Publix to draw plans for and supervise the construction of a new modern theatre building at Fremont, O., which will cost approximately $250,000. The construction is to start as quickly as possible. Other theatres of the firm to be built in Ohio also will be planned by Strauss. The architect already has completed a theatre at Anderson, Ind.. and his Paramount theatre of this city is rapidly nearing completion. Form New Company Indianapolis — Articles of incorporation have been filed with the secretary of state here by the Rex Theatre Corp., having a principal place of business in Dunkirk, Ind. The corporation has an initial capital stock of 1,000 shares having no declared par value and is formed to operate a theatre for motion and talking pictures. The first board of directors is composed of Charles F. Hurrle, .George W. Haskell, John A. Melloy and George T. Whitaker. Hit by Sign; Sues Muncie, Ind. — Etha Keys has entered suit in circuit court against George S. Challis, former operator of a local theatre, asking $5,000 for personal injuries sustained Feb. 14. She charges that while walking in front of the theatre a sign fell striking her on the head and shoulders permanently injuring her. Carelessness is alleged in the fixing of the sign. Midnight Shows Draw San Francisco — According to reports, the three local Paramount Publix midnight -hows are growing considerably in attendance each week. .STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP.
