We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
MANAGERS AND PROJECTIONISTS 963
The silent picture projectionist has charge of apparatus which is, by comparison with sound projection equipment, very simple. The problems incident to silent picture projection are, by comparison, not nearly so difficult as are those of sound projection.
However, when the silent picture projectionist has graduated into a sound projectionist, he still will have all the equipment and all the projection problems he had before. He must perform every duty he performed before. Nothing has in any degree changed with regard to picture projection, but in addition he is called upon to reproduce and project sound, which involves the use and care of highly sensitive, complicated equipment.
It therefore would seem idle to say the problems of the projectionist are not vastly augumented, and his work made very much more difficult by the advent of synchronized sound. It would seem rather foolish to assume that a very much higher grade of expert knowledge is not required and demanded of the sound projectionist than of the projectionist of silent pictures, provided each is to work efficiently and well. It also is evident that men cannot hope to really make good in sound projection unless considerable time and energy is devoted to the study of technical matters pertaining to it.
One very important difference between silent picture projection and the projection of what has now come to be familiarly known as the "Talkies," lies in the fact that the silent picture story is read from the action, supplemented by occasional explanatory sub-titles, so that but one sense, the sight, is employed.
Without a synchronized sound accompaniment, projection faults, while in themselves harmful and bad, did
