Free Polaroid Land (lainera
for the best letters on
3-D
projection
If you're a working projectionist, if you know any 3-D tricks, if your ideas can improve stereoscopic projection, then you stand a good chance to win one of these camera beauties as offered by the Polaroid Corp. in cooperation with your magazine
THE Polaroid people think that America's much berated projectionists should be heard from on the third dimension. IP thinks so too!
So for three months, starting with the March International Projectionist, the Polaroid Corporation, in cooperation with IP, is giving one Polaroid Land Camera per month — and for free — to the working projectionist who writes the best and most constructive letter to the 3-D Editor.
Subject: 3-D movies and how to handle them.
Letters will be judged by a threeman panel consisting of Dr. Lewis Chubb, research physicist, Polaroid Corp.; Henry Kogel, staff engineer of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and Frederick Hodgson, editor of IP.
What we want is simply this:
Your suggestions on how to make 3-D better. Any tricks you may have devised in your own projection room,
tricks that improve your 3-D projection. For example, one theatre we know has an ordinary carpenter's spirit level handy so that the 3-D filters at the ports may be kept absolutely horizontal. If you've had a brain wave like that, send it in!
If you've found a way to out-smart the exc-hanges and their sometimes amazing inspection systems, let's hear about it!
In other words, if you, as a working projectionist, have an idea or a suggestion you think is good don't hesitate. Don't walk, run to the nearest mailbox.
You don't have to be a Hemingway. We don't care how the letters are written. It's the subject matter that counts.
Address your letters to the 3-D Editor, International Projectionist, 19 West 44th St., New York 36, N. Y.
Write as many letters as you like. And if you don't win the first camera.
try again and you may win the second — or the third.
Incidentally, the Polaroid Land Camera is a honey. It's that famous new camera you've been reading about, the one that develops its own pictures in just one minute. The price, if you had to buy it, is a neat $89.75 (and worth every nickel of it!).
The Polaroid Land Camera gives you photography at its quickest, easiest and simplest. One adjustment takes care of all shutter and lens settings. All you do is snap the shutter, pull a paper tab and, voila, in one minute by the clock you have your picture. Prints are black and white and are big 31/4" by 4iy4" — and they can be enlarged or duplicated, too, if you like.
So get you're letters in — fast! To qualify for March's camera your letter must be in the IP office no later than February 15th.
Here's wishing you luck!
