A FEW SPASMS BY J. B. G.
Fatal words on a two-man job: “Sound’s my racket, so you run the show. Just call me if anything goes wrong.
Young lady entering projection room, stares around, wide eyed, startled :
“Oh my ! Oh my ! Do you know what I thought this was when I came in?”
Our proud projectionist:
“Yeh, I know. You thought it was a power house, didn’t you? With all these machines and amplifiers and dimmers and everything.”
Young lady: “No, not exactly. I
thought it was the ladies’ rest room. Where is it please?”
First Projectionist: “What sort
of a layout are you going to have at the El Drafto?”
Second Projectionist: “Not so bad. A Brenkert effect, two spots and three Simps.”
First Projectionist: “Oh, so the
crew’s been selected?”
A note Bro. Rose left for Bro. Huston :
“No matter how strong our love may be, Fred, we can never have any children.”
Shades of the immortal Tad’s Daffydils :
His back was breaking, his head splitting and his eyes had been crossed for weeks, but he bent over to see what was wrong with the apparatus. Suddenly and without warning he straightened up and cried : “If the exciting lamp was out for the changeover would the amplifier?”
And a muzzle or a noose for the projectionist who:
Talks about thick steaks the entire shift ;
Whistles in cadence to the monitor;
“I’s” when things are velvet, but who “we's” when he’s pulled a boner ;
Never thoroughly checks his partner’s threading unless the manager is in the room, but at such time changes everything but the intermittent movement and the upper magazine.
