Author's Note TO SECOND EDITION LIKE the former edition, this book is dedicated to the moving picture operator, upon whose skill in the projection of the magnificent work of our modern producers so very much depends. Since the inception of the Projection Department of THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD and the publication of the first book rapid strides have been made in the perfection of projection. The author hopes and believes that this work will serve to even further advance and perfect projection to the end that the photoplay may become still more firmly fixed in the affections of the amusementloving public. October 30, 1912. Publisher's Note TO SECOND EDITION THE enormous increase in popularity of the motion picture during the 'past few years in all countries is one of the marvels of the day. The moving picture is now far in advance of all other forms of public entertainment among all classes and draws a daily patronage that is beyond belief. In no other country, however, do the pictures have quite as good a hold on the public favor as in the United States. This is in great measure due to the enterprise and higher ideals of the film manufacturers in this country. It is also due in great measure to the care and attention given to programs, theater management and especially the projection of the pictures by the exhibitors throughout the United States and Canada. The first edition of this work was published over two years since and has been of immense value and help to operators throughout the country. This edition has been greatly enlarged and will be found much more complete in every way. It will undoubtedly remain the standard work in its field for many years and is a worthy monument to its author's ability and painstaking effort. CHALMERS PUBLISHING COMPANY. November, 1912.
