Where to Keep Films. — Film should be kept near the floor of the operating room, since near the ceiling it is much warmer. It should be kept in a metal box having compartments for each reel, and one compartment below to hold a wet sponge ©r water. The film should be treated with a little glycerine once in a while, but this is only accomplished by having the film in actual contact with the liquid, as per directions further on. The glycerine is for the purpose of keeping the film soft and pliable, which it does by reason of the fact that it has the property of rapidly absorbing moisture.
Should water, by any accident, be spilled over a reel of film, or it even be dropped in a pail of water, it may be saved from damage if unrolled very quickly, not allowing the emulsion, which will be quickly softened, to touch anything. But the unrolling must be done very quickly or the emulsion will stick to the back of the film and pull off. This does' not apply to colored or tinted film, though even these may sometimes be saved by very prompt action. The writer once rescued a first-run film from destruction thus: He happened to be in the operating room after the show had closed for the night. In taking the last reel from the magazine it slipped from the operator's hands and landed in a pail of water, being practically submerged. He grabbed the reel, ran down stairs, handed the end to an usher, ran to the front end of the theatre, looped the film over a chairback, and ran back and forth until the whole film lay across the back
