A MARINE “Tells It 99 TO DeVRY Official U.S. Marine Corps photo of Ma¬ rine landing on Rcndova Island in the Solomons. WRITES Sgt. Walter R. N. _ , U.S.M.C.: "DeVRYS projected the first movies on the Solomons in 1942. On Tulagi’s King George Field, Columbia’s "YOU BE¬ LONG TO ME” starring “I Am Constantly Surprised at the Pun islinient Your Projectors Can Take!" You've heard the expression, “Tell it to t lie Marines!” Today a Marine tells it to DeVRY — a sergeant in the Second Marines writes from the South Pacific: “I have constantly been surprised by the amount of punishment your pro¬ jectors will take — first off. in the holds of Navy Transports . . . Secondly, over rough jungle terrain in trucks, without roads to travel . . . Third, — while sta¬ tioned at Paekakariki, New Zealand — not once but twice, the machines went through what is known as Southerly Gales, BOTH times — in our improvised tent theatre booth — the machines were dashed to the floor from a 32-inch height. All four DeVrys are still in good working order — even though they have taken severe punishment in their 16,000 miles of travel with the Second Marines! Thus, out of the liar's relentless prov¬ ing ground comes unchallen geable proof of the ability of DeVRY motion picture cameras and projectors to take day-in, day-out punishment and still deliver the finest in screened perform¬ ances. Proof that you'll want to re¬ member DeVry when you go shopping for V -Day's best in motion picture sound equipment. DeVRY CORPORA¬ TION, 1111 Armitage Avenue, Chicago 14, Illinois. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda was screened Nov. 4, 1942” — by DeVry 35 mm. semi-portable sound projec¬ tors, as pictured above.
