Both have become highly specialized. The theatre manager must be trained in administration duties, advertising and technics, and the organist must be able to dramatize the music to accompany the screen attractions. So valuable do chain organizations consider the trained man or woman that they are demanding those persons who have become skilled through graduate work in schools. Ball Organ School, 218 S.

Screens 'THERE are three types of screens for motion picture projection, metallic surfaced, white surfaced and beaded surfaced. Sound screens are perforated to permit the issuance of the sound waves from the horns behind. The metallic surfaced screens are built in various finishes, from a smooth surface to a heavy pebbled surface. The smooth surfaced screen has perpendicular reflective characteristics while the heavy pebbled surfaces somewhat diffuse the light. In wide houses, the best image is obtained on the latter type. Metallic surfaces, as a rule are built to fit the requirements of each house. Flat white or diffusing type screens in most cases are used with high intensity projection. Screen surfaces are made to meet the requirements of mazda, reflecting arc, regular arc and high intensity projection. Prices of screen range from 50 cents to $2 per square foot.

A Screens for Sound Pictures CCREENS for sound pictures are used with most sound apparatus. They differ from silent screens in that they are porous. When the horns are located behind the screen, a tightly woven canvas would retard or muffle the sound. These screens are perforated or otherwise made porous. Some are coated with a silver finish and are constructed to lace into a frame. AMERICAN SILVERSHEET COMPANY, 800 Beaumont Street, St. Louis, Mo.

Screen Brushes F, order that the screen may be kept clean, and therefore give the best possible results in projection, a screen brush has been contrived for keeping the silver sheet clean and responsive to the image flashed from the projection room. AMERICAN SILVERSHEET COMPANY, 800 Beaumont Street, St. Louis, Mo. Screen Frames ^FTER all the picture’s the thing, and without stability and solidity of the screen frame the picture is being shown at a disadvantage to both theatre owner and projectionists, to say nothing of the patron. Billowing of the screen is a blow to good projection. Now, too, there is the added element of the steel frame as another form of equipment development.
