Page 196 The Educational Screen Behind the Battle Motion Pictures Refresh our Fighting Men i Against a backdrop of rugged moun- tains and desert skies, two thousand American soldiers are enjoying a show- ing of one of the latest Hollywood films. The scene is immediately behind the battle lines at a U. S. Army base where our fighting men came to rest and relax before going back into action. Here the Army Special Service Units make available to the men every type of recreational material from books and athletic equipment to musical in- struments and amateur theatrical sup- plies. Most important, according to men in the Special Service Units, is the compact portable motion picture out- fits known as the "J" kits—which are used to show the films rushed by Air Transport from Hollywood. Next to food and mail from home, these out- door movies are the most potent force for maintaining morale. The Ampro Dual Unit shown here has been adopted for use in the "J' Kit. In building these precision pro- jectors to meet the exacting demands of high standard projection under the most trying conditions—Ampro engi- neers are accumulating valuable expe- rience that will result in some astonishing developments for post-war civilian projectors.
