28 BETTER THEATRES SECTION OF November 24, 1928 Moviephone in Field as Synchronous And Non-Synchronous Device Inlerchangeabi'li'ty Possible, According to L.E.Coetz, Chicago MOVIEPHONE is a new entry in the field of sound equipment. This new device, manufactured and distributed by L. E. Goetz of Moviephone Corporation, 724 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, is offered in two styles, synchronous and non-synchronous. Announcement of the new product states that the equipment is developed for use with records. "The non-synchronous equipment," says the announcement, "is along the lines of several other machines which are being offered, with the exception that it is made into a desk unit provided with special compartments for the records, arranged directly in front of the operator, and is also equipped with locks for completely closing up the cabinet where persons employed at the theatre are apt to experiment with the equipment. "Mr. Goetz has developed, and will give a trade showing in Chicago within a few days, synchronous equipment which will play 33 1/3 Vitaphone records and also the standard records. Along with the standard records Mr. Goetz intends to supply a complete service of specialties which can be used in addition to the regular synchronized records when desired. "An additional feature of the equipment is the fact that non-synchronous equipment is built with proper amplifiers and wiring so that the exhibitor may install the synchronous equipment any time he wishes and may tie the equipment together altogether and play it both synchronous and non-synchronous, and will receive credit on the synchronous equipment for the amount he paid for the non-synchronous device. "The synchronous devices which are installed in the booths have been patented by Mr. Goetz and are along very simple lines; in fact, this equipment is made to operate the turntables if necessary in a vertical position if the booth is crowded for room, and Mr. Goetz is of the opinion that in many cases it is necessary to equip the booth in this fashion rather than spend nearly as much as the cost of the equipment in making room for the equipment in some of the small booths." Mr. Goetz is well known among film circles. He has operated a string of theatres in Wisconsin for the last 15 years or more and is also the owner and operator of the U. S. Health Films, Inc., 724 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, which is distributing a number of road attractions throughout the country. It is through the organization Mr. Goetz maintains with his pictures on the road that he expects to service the equipment regardless of where it may be located.
