CANADA — One of the oldest pioneer projectionists, Ed Hill. I ocal 173, has retired after 58 vears of service in the motion picture projection craft in show business. A charter Gold Card member for 50 years of Local 173 IATSE and now holder of an honorable withdrawal card, Mr. Hill started his career with the Griffin Amusement Company as operator in the silent days. Most film projectors were hand-cranked varieties in those days, and there was no sneaking out of the booth to see what the picture was all about. Mr. Hill points out. There were illustrated songs and slides with two single reels to a show — Mr. Hill was able to crank the projector with one hand and rewind with the other, working from 9:00 A.M. to 11 P.M. and "lucky if there even was a relief man." Show business drew Mr. Hill about 1909 when he traveled road shows with Johnston and Burns as well as handling stage gear and spot lamps at the old Star and Gaiety Theaters in Toronto. iP 1965 International Convention Set for Audio Engineering Society LOS ANGELES — This city will host the 1965 international convention of the Audio Engineering Society April 27-30.
