June 20th, 1924 Mr. E. 0. Blackburn, Rothacker-Aller Laboratory, 5515 Melrose Ave. , Hollywood, Calif.
Dear Mr. Blackburn:
I don't know whether it has come to your attention during the production of "Single Wives" all of the dailies were perfect in printing and timing with the exception of but four short scenes, which were reprinted. Two of these reprints were made at our request merely to compare densities for a particular purpose suggested by the action.
There were more than 600 separate and individual scenes photographed during the production of "Single Wives" and to me it stands as a very remarkable record and tribute to the efficiency of the Rothacker-Aller Laboratory that your technical staff should attain absolute perfection in results to such a degree over a period of weeks with such a number of variations in lighting and densities.
I am enclosing an order for a master print of "Single Wives" to be made before the negative is shipped to your Chicago plant, only because in handling and running the film during the time of cutting the positive print has of course become scratched and somewhat dirty, and we want a perfect and new print at the earliest possible moment for local purposes.
Our entire technical staff on "Single Wives" join in this note of appreciation so thoroughly deserved by your entire organization.
Very truly yours,
<^,>|JU^
