Exhibitors Herald and Moving Picture World (Apr-Jun 1930)

Exhibitors Herald-World 57 ky 10, 1930 Irother Barrows held the job of chief ijectionist at the Park theatre in Bosfor ten years. Then he changed to i Metropolitan theatre, where he took ) position of supervisor of projection, link Metropolitan was the first deluxe it nlix theatre in New England. Baris is still there. .arrows is a man of real ability — exin jt in introducing your editor to audi J®es of projectionists! He is thorhly trustworthy and dependable. He ng | the confidence of all Massachusetts n;ion picturedom, and in that I don’t nm maybe, either. congratulate both Brother Barrows le| the Projection Advisory Council. |j former, because of the fact that he i established a reputation which ught the office to his door; the latter, iause Barrows has seen fit to accept 2j office. He will make a good chief In cutive. Of that I am very certain, I during his incumbency we may »ect to see the Council do a lot of vi id work. • n »| Revised Code A HE Department of Labor and Industry of the great state of Pennfvania has just forwarded for our iipection a revised code entitled, “Regu" ions for Protection from Fire and ’nic.” It is in four sections, one for ftss 1, one for Class 2, and one for fiss 3 buildings. Class 2 includes stage latres and motion picture theatres. Take note of the “panic” included in I title. Panic is, as you know, the h thing we have most to fear. Few tion picture theatre fires ever get outse the projection room, but panic! Til, that is something else again. Piles ) dead women and children are its nument. I don’t know but that I ought first to k permission, but I think the deirtment will be willing to accommodate, lice I recommend that progressive prodionists write J. P. Lilley, Assistant ’ ief , Department of Labor and IndusiV, Harrisburg, Pa., asking that he forp rd the booklet dealing with stage and btion picture theatres. I then recomi-nd that a study of the matter, parnularly as applied to projection rooms, : made. I suggest this for the reason that the Lpartment of Labor and Industry of Ennsylvania is not satisfied to be the cg’s tail. It does not come tagging E>ng with good laws and rules pertaini? to projection and projection rooms Eter everyone else has adopted them. 1 is progressive. You will find its rules i d laws dealing with projection and [ojection rooms to be progressive and u-to-date. For example, it does not, i its rules and laws, call a projection iom a “booth.” Its license cards license lotion picture projectionists, not “mauine operators.” It, therefore, is well 'at you have a copy of this booklet an' iudy its provisions, to the end that you ay suggest changes in your state. From a Flickering Candle To Accurate Voltage Control — is less than the span of a Business Lifetime Still more remarkable is the fact that thru fourteen years of this period, Hertner TRANSVERTERS have been supplying to Motion Picture Projectionists, the one sure automatic method of obtaining uniform current supply. Constant improvements, of course, always in advance of the Projectionist’s needs — And TRANSVERTERS always maintain their absolute dependability and economy of operation. If you show Pictures . . . you need the Transverter. You will find the TRANSVERTER installed in the Ritz Theatre of Corpus Christi, Texas, described in this issue.
