Across the Pacific With a Zenith Projector Enjoying motion pictures, at the school, church, club or theatre, is an almost daily experience with a large number of folks. It would be tedious indeed for a majority of us to go through the days and weeks without this favorite form of relaxation and constructive entertainment. However, arrangements are rapidly being made in various ways so that this enjoyment need not be missed even by travelers while on their journeys. Railroad and steamship companies are not slow in recognizing the advantage and desirability of providing this favorite form of recreation for their patrons. The Pacific Steamship Company is one of those operating many palatial liners which recognizes this demand. On January 2nd of this year, the steamship President McKinley departed from Seattle equipped with a Zenith projector and ten complete film programs for the entertainment of its many passengers on the voyage across the Pacific ocean. The film programs were provided by the Cosmopolitan Film Exchange, Seattle, the enterprising and energetic distributors of the Zenith in that territory. The President McKinley returned to Seattle on February 22nd, having covered approximately 30,000 miles. Needless to say that many shows were given during the voyage to appreciative passengers. Mr. D. C. Millward, of the Cosmopolitan Film Exchange, together with an officer of the steamship company, made immediate inspection of the Zenith and found everything in good order. It is reported that the officers of the steamship company were so delighted with the performance of the Zenith projector, as well as with the general success of the enterprise, that it has been decided to install Zeniths on all their other large' vessels as they arrive in port. Thus those contemplating crossing the wide expanse of the Pacific need not fear that they will be deprived of the diversion and education afforded by clean motion pictures.
