THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD 545 CORRESPONDENCE. Middle-town, Pa., June 12, igo8. Editor Moving Picture World, New York City: Dear Sir—I write you to see if there is a movement on foot, and if not, isn't there some way to bring the film exchange dealers together to frame some rule whereby they can stop any moving picture theater from showing more than one film for 5 cents? There are two moving picture shows here, but the one is on its last pins simply because his place is too small to show but one film, but the other fellow shows two or three old ones, and by so doing he is ruining the business, and I know of other places in the same predicament. This thing of showing more than one film for S cents should be done away with, and the sooner the better for the business. I haven't yet received my June 6th World. Will you kindly give me address of the Edengraph projecting machine, and oblige. Yours truly, J.. M. LENNEY. [Address of Edengraph Manufacturing Company is 42 East Twenty-third street, New York.—Ed.] NORDISK FILMS ARE HONORED. 7 Ea3t Fourteenth St., New York, June 24, 1908. Editor Moving Picture World. Dear Sir:—We take pleasure to inform you that our main office has cabled us that we were awarded the first prize, a gold medal at the Cinematograph Exhibition held in Ham- burg, Germany, recently, at which the majority of the high class film manufacturers were represented with specimens of their work. In addition to this we were awarded the prize of honor. Yours very respectfully, GREAT-NORTHERN FILM COMPANY, (Nordisk Film Co. of Copenhagen), , ■ • Per Ingvald C. Oes. WHO CAN USE THIS MAN? West Haven, Conn., June 10, 1908. Moving Picture World, Dear Sir:—Could you help me get a position as manager or cashier of some moving picture theater, or a position where I could learn the moving picture business or advise me in reference ' to same? I am a married man, forty years of age, good habits, etc. Had financial means once, but have been unfortunate. If I could get something to do in this line that would pay my own expenses: I could make arrangements for my family for a time, till I could better myself. I write you as I think the moving picture business has a great future and would like to get into it. Trusting you will learn of something, somewhere, that will suit my case and thanking you in ad- vance, I am Yours respectfully, H. D. SUTTON, 666 Campbell Ave. FROM AN EXHIBITOR. Washington, D. G, June 3, 1908. Editor .Moving Picture World. Dear Sir:—-With your kind permission, I wish to recommend through the columns of your valuable paper the Royal Reactor, a machine I purchased from Mr. Herman E Roys, of New York. In speaking of this-machine, I wish to state that since installing same my light is the best in clearness and brilliancy I have ever seen on alternating current; gives absolutely no heat, and the meter seems to be registering about one-third the usual amount. It is a great machine. Credit is due Mr. Herman E Roys, the inventor, and I wish him success. Very truly yours, FAYETTE MORGAN, Prop. Diamond Theater, Washington, D. C.
