The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
November, 1930
Did it ever occur to you
That the projectionist
Of a large theatre
Sees a feature picture
More times on the screen
Than did the writer
Of its story or continuity
Or did its director
Or its cutter
Or its distributor?
That he sees it run
Thirty or more times
Or even hundreds?
That one of the chief duties
Of the skilled projectionist
Is to exercise
Constant vigilance
To keep his picture SHARP?
That's why through training
He is a keen observer
Of the trend of the times
In matters photographic —
That's why Edwin Boppert,
Projection executive,
Saw what he saw
Which caused him to write
In the October issue of
International Photographer
About the return of the
High intensity arc,
Which letter is reprinted
On this page for
Your reperusal:
And this is what he wrote
New Haven, August 25, 1930. Editor International Photographer:
Inclosed you will find my check for $3, for which please renew my subscription for another year.
Your magazine has afforded me many hours of pleasure, especially since I always have been greatly interested in the art of cinematography.
It has been very gratifying this past year to observe the gradual return to pre-sound excellency in the photography of many of our pictures, and the boys of Local 659 are to be very highly commended for the rapidity with which they have overcome the obstacles and difficulties precipitated by the introduction of sound in picture making.
/ have been very much interested in the return of the high intensity arc, in its new silenced form, to several of the studios. The very excellent photography in the Fox pictures testifies to the desirability of this type of lighting, I believe.
May I congratulate you on your splendid publication, and with best wishes for your continued success I am
Fraternally and sincerely yours,
EDWIN W. BOPPERT.
