It makes for comfort, proper presentation of entertainment, safety, etc. Equipment must be given first consideration, for a theatre which does not install the finest and most effective product, and become at the outset attractive and efficient, is endangering its future success. Independent equipment dealers will be found in all key centers. ( See complete list of Theatre Supply Dealers.) ▲ Exit Light Signs EXIT LIGHT SIGNS are required by law in all theatres, the Chicago theatre building ordinance specifying them as follows: "The word 'EXIT' shall appear in letters at least six inches high over 1 the opening of every means of egress from I a theatre and a red light shall be kept burn' ing over such a sign." Many improvements have been made in I the manufacture of exit lights in an endeavor to make them less offensive in appearance without detracting from their practical mission. In addition to various styles, exit lights may be obtained built into ornamental fixtures, the whole being placed over the exit door. BELSON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 800 Sibley Street, Chicago, 111.

The latter is the type commonly used in theatres. It is made in a variety of styles and sizes and is used for drawing into the auditorium fresh air or drawing out the foul air. These fans are mounted in a wall opening and in theatres can advantageously be placed in the front or rear Ox the auditorium and in the lobby. The motors operating these fans are usually supported by a bracket extension of the fan. The motor is generally enclosed to prevent trouble from dust or dirt. The sizes of these fans range from 10 to 72 inches in diameter. Ceiling fans are of a larger type and operate at slower speed. Fans of this type usually have four wooden blades and they are hung from the ceiling by an insulated hanger. The blower type of fan may be located over exits, under stage, at sides of projection booth and on roofs, either at front or rear. While the importance of adequate ventilation in the auditorium is generally recognized it has been found that many theatres have failed in providing ventilation in lobbies. Air in the lobby, particularly when crowds are waiting admission soon becomes stagnant and foul, with the result that patrons are unduly wearied and placed in an unfavorable state for enjoying the entertainment. Prices range from $160 up. The blower type ranges from $250 up. American Blower Corporation, 6004 Russell Street, Detroit, Mich. ARCTIC NU-AIR CORPORATION, Northwest Terminal, Mirmeapolis, Minn.

A Filnn Cabinets THERE ARE various types of film cabinets having storage capacity from three to twelve reels per unit of various forms of construction so that the reel is elevated or brought within grasp by the opening of the cover.

Some of them are constructed so that they can be ventilated to the outside by means of piping. The prices range from $4.00 to $60.00 per unit or cabinet.

A Film Cabinet Stands THERE ARE various size stands which accommodate one up to three cabinets, and hold the film cabinets so that they are more convenient as well as allowing them to be moved about more easily for cleaning or relocating purposes. Some of them also make the fi'm cabinets more safe Stop Losing Patronage Because Of Oil-Soaked, Sweaty and Gritty Prints Are your pictures clear, clean, noiseless, is the sound faithfully reproduced — or have you a dirty, spotted projection and annoying thunder-crashing sound, which is driving your critical patronage to other theatres, where only new prints are shown. The easy gathering of dangerous grit upon oily and sweaty prints hinders perfect projection and sound, is ruinous not only to BOX OFFICE receipts, but rapidly makes good prints "junky." WAXOLENE FILM PROCESS — operating in the laboratory and Film Exchanges, for processing new prints to safe-guard against sticking and scratching — for renewing brilliancy, pliability, toughness and for absorbing th3 accumulation of oil and sweat from prints— makes them fool-proof, with longer life and greater ease to eyes and ears of the theatre-goers. FILM EXCHANGES — who continually remove oil and sweat from prints with the oil absorption method of WAXOLENE FILM PROCESS, eliminate the 1 greatest evil that destroys perfect projection and reproduction of sound. Theatres demanding WAXOLENE PROCESSED PRINTS, are always assured of receiving prints that will give perfect projection satisfaction. The Rex Film Renovator Mfg.
