This superb lens affords image quality outstanding in definition, contrast, flatness of field and freedom from color fringes. It provides a speed of f/2.0 in focal lengths from 3V2" through 5" with mounts hermetically sealed against dust and oil for lasting, trouble-free performance. SNAPLITES in focal lengths above 5" are also stocked. Antiflection coatings are regularly supplied. A companion to the Series II is the SNAPLITE Series I. This efficient lens has been improved to give brighter illumination, sharper definition and higher contrast. It is stocked in focal lengths from 2" through 7" in V4" steps, with speed of f/2. 3 inthe shorter focal lengths.

Profusely illustrated and packed with projection details, the article served to dispel the foggy notion that modern theatre sound-picture reproduction requires only a well-oiled mechanical contrivance. In fact, the Journal-Gazette article was noteworthy for its emphasis upon the vital importance of the human element in the projection process and the varied knowledge required of the truly professional projectionist. Stress was laid upon the fact that the most costly equipment, the most elaborate projection room and the smartest theatre decor — no less than every step of the preceding production process — all go for naught without the know-how and showmanship of the projectionist. Particular stress was laid upon the necessity for split-second timing in achieving a smooth-flowing feature presentation, and frequent reference was made to the onhis-toes alertness required of the projectionist. Featured prominently in the newspaper yarn were Randolph P. Stanton, president, and Richard H. Schiefer, member, of Local 466, who are shown in the accompanying picture of the Paramount Theatre projection room. A JVJVO UNCiNG . . . The Ace-Reeves Film Splicer.
