With the foregoing data at hand, movie amateurs who have ceased shooting for lack of Kodachrome, may be tempted to get into action again. Not that dealers' shelves are overflowing with black and white film. It's scarce, too. But when a dealer's supply of film is replenished around the first of each month under the present restricted distribution quotas, and you fail to get into the store in time to get a roll of Kodachrome, buy a roll of black and white and explore its possibilities. And even if you still prefer Kodachrome, and you probably will, at least you will be able to keep your hobby alive and your camera busy. J^ent film* by, mail . • Continued from Page 248 tive film renter to first establish himself with the library much the same as he would if he were applying for a charge account at a department store. The library sends a form for him to fill out, requesting such data as his age, make and model of his projector, credit references, etc. With the Filmosound libraries, the chief requirement is that the renter of average library subjects be known to them or to the dealer through whom the older is placed. More stringent regulations apply to those seeking to rent 1 6mm. sound prints of restricted "major" features. In such cases, a prior location approval is required and the application of the renter calls for a pretty far-reaching history of his life. Mr. Kruse revealed that they keep a file on which is noted each customer's special requirements and occasionally his "misdeeds" if ever he was guilty of such in the handling of Filmosound library films. It is surprising to what extent some libraries will go to please good, reliable customers. Naturally it is not possible for every library to have all the prints required of the most popular subjects. Frank Lane, who conducts a prospering rental library in Boston, recently received an order from one of his regular customers for 10 films. "Four of them were out on rental," said Mr. Lane. "It would have been easy to write the man and tell him this and suggest that he accept substitutes. Instead, we wired the source in New York and had them ship 4 new prints to fill this customer's order." What kind of films can the home projector owner rent from these mail order libraries? Assuming they qualify as a renter, and nearly everyone does, there are films to be had on practically every subject. Suppose you're having visitors over the week end and part of your scheduled entertainment includes motion pictures. It is possible to rent for z few dollars, enough film to put on a 1 J/2 to 2 hour show that includes a comedy short or cartoon, a multi-reel comedy or feature, and a news event, similar to a regular theatre program. Those having sound projectors may rent prints of major features such as the several Hal Roach productions, "Topper Takes A Trip," "The Housekeeper's Daughter," and "Of Mice and Men," which are distributed by Post Pictures Corp., of New York and available from Filmosound rental libraries. Then there are excellent 8mm. and 16mm. prints to be had of those good old silent Christie and Charlie Chaplin comedies. It will pay every projector owner to investigate these film sources and obtain their catalogs, and at the same time file a renter's application so that the service will immediately be available when desired. Usually films are shipped COD with shipping costs, where charged, included. Both express and parcel post are used in making shipment. Some libraries, such as Kenwood Films, simplify the matter of rettirn by shipping films in a carton that is ready-addressed to the library. In shipping films to the customer the carton is wrapped in paper and labeled with the renter's name and address. Thus when film is ready for return, the carton need only be tied or sealed and delivered to the express company or postman for safe delivery to the library. "Once you get the habit," one library patron said, "It's just as simple as sending out the laundry every week or mailing a check for the gas bill."
