THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD May 1, 1920 Famous Players-I^asky Corporation MOROSCO STUDIO 201-211 NORTH OCCIDENTAL BOULEVARD LOS Angeles. California February 11th, 1920. Mr. S. Snowden Cassard, Sales Manager, Nicholas Ponver Company, #90 Gold St. , New York City, N.Y. Dear Sir: Power^s Projectors Always Reliable In reply to your inquiry as to the results we are receiving from your Powers Projecting Machines, will say that it is with pleasure we are able to report that same have been giving us perfect satisfaction. We are using two of your machines for projecting our release prints and on each of these machines we are projecting in the neighborhood of thirty thousand feet of film per day. This amount of footage is in considerable excess to that which a machine would be subject to under ordinary conditions and, taking into consideration the rate of speed ndiich we are obliged to run these machines in order to put through the required number of release prints per day, and also the perfect condition in which these machines are now in after being in service for two years demonstrates to us the perfection in the manufacture of these machines. We must have perfect projection for our releases and have found, by experience, that the Nicholas Power Machines fulfill our needs to the fullest extent. 95 ^/o of the machines used by the studios and laboratories in Los Angeles and vicinity are Power FYB/RMJ Yours very truly.
