Complete, Pe rsonal Service
I
T is my business, and pleasure, to provide educational, social and religious institutions with motion pictures of high quality — pictures carefully selected to suit your own ideas and purposes.
For your programs I draw the finest from the thousands of films in the entire picture world. Owning no films myself, I am absolutely without prejudice in my recommendations.
"The finest films ever shown in the Evanston Schools," is typical of the expressions of appreciation received for my films, which include everything from "How shoes are made" to Mary Pickford plays.
I give my clients 1 00% personal service — -service of the dependable, satisfying kind. I am in the educational film field because of my long interest in it and my fitness for it. As a former teacher, I am vitally interested in your problems. Through m}' connections with the film companies I can save you money on rentals. Send in the coupon and let me show you how.
lAU YoulHave to Do
is to indicate to me the sort of pictures you desire, the length of time you wish the exhibition to run and the date. Most of my clients depend upon me to make the selections. Or, if you desire, you may make your own choice of pictures from the lists.
At present I am supplying a widespread demand for
; War and Patriotic Pictures
— stories and films showing the activities of the army and navy, boys in training, etc., and films taken in European countries at war, many showing actual warfare. Inquire about the U. S. Government Films, made by Uncle Sam himself and released by State Councils of Defense, showing U. S. war activities. The government desires a wide use of these films.
Projectors and Equipment
I am handling all the most practical of both the portable and larger projectors, and other equipment. Send for information.
