880 HANDBOOK OF PROJECTION FOR of misframes, torn film and torn sprocket holes, is not keeping its contract with the exhibitor. The exchange which does these things is working an outrage on both the exhibitor and the projectionist. It is not living up to the true meaning of its contract with the exhibitor and is forcing or attempting to force the projectionist to perform its inspection and repair duties without pay. The author of this work is most emphatically of the opinion that it is a legitimate and important function of projectionists' unions to take up the matter of films received by their members in other than perfect physical condition, in so far as applies to splices, torn sprocket holes, torn film and misframes, and to take such steps as may be necessary to force reform. To attempt to project films containing loose splices, torn sprocket holes or torn films is dangerous. To project films containing misframes discredits the work of the individual projectionist, and through him discredits the organization to which he belongs. It is no part or parcel of his duty as projectionist to make repairs which are presumed to be made by the exchange, and which the exhibitor is paying to have made . by the exchange.
