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.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RENTING Each feature has been built into a complete program, running from 1^ to 2 hours in length, by the addition of short subjects — comedies, cartoons, travelogues, sports and novelties — mounted permanently on two 1600 foot reels. Gaumont-British and Universal features cannot be used in locations that are competitive with theatres. Bookings must be approved by Gaumont-British or Universal before we can accept them. Bookings on both the programs and the separate short subjects may be made as far in advance as desired. However, we cannot make changes in the short subjects that are mounted with features; programs must be taken in their entirety. Short subjects that are listed separately will be mounted on big reels in the order specified. When ordering it is advisable to name two or three alternate selections to be sure that you get something desired in case the original selection is not available. There is no surcharge for time lost in transit. Shipping charges both ways must be paid by the customer. Return shipment must be made promptly on the day folloiuing the scheduled showing. Please do not rewind the films after projection. ATTENTION CARE OF FILM Sound Film is very delicate material and its successful projection depends on your careful handling. A silent projector cannot be used for sound films under any conditions. The breaking of the film is not a serious matter if taken care of properly. Stop the machine at once and rethread the remaining part of the film. Do not repair broken film ; the splicing will be done at the Library. Return all damaged parts of the film. Your own reels should be straight and in perfect condition before using our film on them. 32
