THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF
Streamed Pictures
Many times pictures will have vertical streaks. These streaks may be either light or dark. In cases where the streaks are light they are invariably due to the film; either defective workmanship in producing the film or the film has been damaged during previous showings. When these streaks are dark, they may be caused by the revolving shutter being "out of time" or in some cases they may be the result of poor workmanship in printing the film.
Qoncluding
Our entire industry has grown out of the demand for the reproduction on the screen of motion pictures, and today the picture portion of our program is still the most important. Other musical numbers have been added, but they have not been able to replace the feature picture and its position of importance in our performance. THE THEATRE MANAGER SHOULD CONTINUALLY STRIVE TO EQUIP HIS PROJECTION BOOTH WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT SUITED TO HIS PARTICULAR THEATRE, and the personnel of the booth should be carefully selected for their skill and knowledge of projection.
Projection, as we know it, is still in the stage of development, and it is a continuous study for the up-to-date theatre manager of today. Many fine articles are published frequently by the Eastman Kodak Company and by the General Electric Company on the subject of projection or other allied subjects. We do not expect any of our theatre managers to be skilled or finished projectionists. However, we do demand that they have a sufficiently inclusive working knowledge of projection so that they can intelligently criticise defective projection, and can, in many cases, be of assistance to the operator in solving projection problems.
The projectionist from the booth is handicapped by his distance from the screen, and in order that he may realise the effects he is producing on the screen, we have provided our kinobooths
