Motography (Apr-Dec 1911)

ANNOUNCEMENT No. 10 READ WHAT THEY CONTINUE TO SAY ABOUT THE THE PEER OF ALL PICTURE MACHINES Star Palace Theater, Patchogue, N. Y., Nov. 23, 1911. MANHATTAN SLIDE CO., 124 E. 14th Street, New York. Gentlemen: — I wish to congratulate you on the attention you gave me in installing a "Simplex" Motion Picture Machine. I have used in the course of my time as exhibitor, several leading machines, but can truthfully say that they did not compare with the picture projected by this machine. The simplicity of its action and the little care that it needs, together with its proof against fire, makes it an ideal machine for the exhibitor. Wishing you every success, I beg to remain, Respectfully yours, GEO. T. HOLMES. Champaign, 111., Nov. 8th, 1911. SIMPLEX SALES AGENCY, 23 E. 14th Street, New York. Gentlemen: — Your letter received. I wish to say that the Simplex is the greatest machine on the market today. I have used four other makes, and to my judgment, there is no comparison. If you care to use me as a recommendation, you may do so, it is from the heart. I have had lots of experience with machines. Considering everything, it is several years ahead of anything now on the market. Yours very truly, H. H. JOHNSON. Galveston, Texas, Tribune, Friday, Sept. 29, 1911. "The Hulsey series of moving picture theaters of Galveston has shown its intention of co-operating with the city in every possible means to insure against the arising or spreading of fire by procuring eight "fool and fireproof" picture machines. They are the first of their kind in the South. The only danger, practically, that can befall a moving picture theater is a film fire, and the fact that the same is shown from the rear of the theater is a constant source of danger. With the Simplex machines, two of which are being installed in each of the Hulsey theaters, this is impossible even through carelessness of the operator. "Another feature with this latest innovation in the moving picture world is the arrangement of the shutter, which is so connected with the machine as to almost wholly obviate the eye worry, so often met in moving picture theaters." PRECISION MACHINE CO. SALES AGENCY, 23 E. 14th Street, New York. Gentlemen: — The Simplex machine was inspected by the Canadian authorities, and they pronounced it absolutely fireproof. They stated that on account of the fireproof construction of the machine they may recommend that the booth be dispensed with entirely, and that the machine be installed on a platform so that the operator will be in full view of the audience at all times, and any one can see whether he is violating any fire regulations. Yours truly, , E. H. MOZART, Monopole Film Company. "Just the machine this department has been looking for." New York City Official Inspector, Bureau Water, Gas and Electricity. SIMPLEX OFFICE, 23 E. 14th Street, New York City. Gentlemen: — Since we first exploited the moving picture as an amusement attraction sixteen years ago, at the Eden Musee, we have used many projecting machines. Money has been no object to procure the best results, and, as a consequence, we have the reputation of snowing the clearest, steadiest and most satisfactory pictures in the country. The new "Simplex Projector," the first one of which was operated here, and has been steadily used for the last three months, is undoubtedly the best machine we have ever operated. EDEN MUSEE AMERICAN CO., E. J. Crane, Manager SIMPLEX SALES AGENCY, 23 E. 14th Street, New York City. Gentlemen: — We have just installed one of your "Simplex" Projecting machines, choosing it after an exhaustive examination of all other makes. For absolute perfection and precision, coupled with extreme simplicity, it is everything that can be desired — a fact when TESTING films to determine the accuracy of perforation and printing machines of the UTMOST importance. Yours truly, THE "REX" MOTION PICTURE MFG. CO., 573 Eleventh Ave., New York New York, Boro of Brooklyn, Oct. 3, 1911. MANHATTAN SLIDE CO., 124 E. 14th Street, New York City. Gentlemen: — The "Simplex" Moving Picture Machine that I bought through you is undoubtedly the best projector we have ever used in Prospect Hall. After using the other machines, I cheerfully state that the "Simplex" is decidedly the best and gives us entire satisfaction. Yours very truly, WM. D. KOLLE, Prop.
