NICHOLAS POWER'S NEW MACHINE READY FOR MARKEL FAMOUS INVENTOR EVOLVES WONDERFUL PIECE OF MECHANISM AFTER YEARS OF PRAQICAL EXPERIENCE. — • Sa B rROJECTOR GONTAIRS BART REW ARD IHGERIOUS ATTRIBDTES. The name of Nicholas Power has been aynony- moiis -with the projcctloa oi motion pictures prac- tically since the Inception of the motion plctarc Industry. A pioneer In the game, be has Tron de- aerted 'recognition, and to his wonderful Inventive genius we owe a great deal of the present success of the art. Ever alert to the future possibilities of tlils econnous, and whort Is now regarded us the third largest Industry 'In this country, be has de- voted the best years of his life to perfecting the Tuei'lianlsnl of the motion picture projecting ma- c-hlne, with the result that to-day we Tiew with wondering eyes the picture as it Is thrown on the .<<creeo, without flicker and- wltli the eye strain eliminated. To those wbo recall the early days of the mo- tion picture. It is Indeed a wonderful accomplish- ment to be able to present the pictures to-day with Mucb perfect detlnitlon and clearness. Mr. Power, In the many years of his connection with the In- dustry, has Invented many projecting machines aud continually added improvements nntU the model Power's Cameragrapn No. eA seemed tu fulflU every expectation of both himself and the '.'Qtlre trade. Not content, however, to rest npon the wonder- ful success of this machine, Mr. Power etndled and experimented diligently along mechanical lines, and has -evolved the latest and what he cou- Hlders tbe last word in projecting machines, I'ower's Cameragrapb No. 6B. Many mechanics and engineers of International repute who have scpn this new model hare pronounced it one of tbe uiarvcls ot the age and a Qttlng tribute to Mr. I'ower'a Inventive attainments. This machine constitutes all the most necessary and desirable features in modem, up-to-date pro- jection that years of study, experiment and ex- ]H<rlence have adduced, and is designed to give jiprfcet aatiafactlon under any and all conditions. The mechanism has reached the point of ultimate roflnement through the use of the finest material nnd tbe best of workmanship. Alterations, changes and additions, suggested by fleld experience, have been made, which brings this mechanism to a point where It stands universally accepted as foremost in the qualities ot perfect projection and serviceability.

The extent of frlctlonasurface has been careifuiry compirted, per- mitting an even and continuous but sllsbtly Inter- mittent tension, causing the film ,to be wound to the proper tightness on the talte-up reel. Once the adjustment is made by the simple collar , and set screw, no farther attention Is necessar.r. In test this device has tnken up three thousand feet of film, .maintaining nn even tension throughout. The new lamphooae deserves special attention; it. is of very substantial' construction, pcrmlttln; oa<iy access. It has been specially designed with a vli!w of allowing. the best possible ventilation. The doors ate of double metal with air space be- tween cooling chutes are provided both atiove and below the' condenser mount, securing a -very desirable arrangement. The cooling of tbe In- terior of tbe lamphouse is - procured by an in- genious duct construction in tbe top leading to a vent, and efllclently drawing off tbe heat.

While Mr. Ince feels that 'The Cow- ard" I3 a splendid picture, he thinks that It Is to<> much of a man's pl-iy for Ills Introduction to the new Triangle service. Powerful emotional love stories are most in f.nvor. with' all classes ot theatregoers. Dustin ramum's Alaskan' offering-affords Ju<>t this kind of entertainment. With Enid Marltey as the re- bellions wife, and Louise Gianm as tbe siren of tbe Arctic Cfibartit, each'in love with Duatin Far- num, as the husky "Chuck" Hemingway, there are tremendons' opportnitltles for the exploiting of primitive emotions.
