2086 ACCESSORY NEWS SECTION Vol. 14. No. 13 Bell & Howell Company of Chicago Announce the opening of their New York Office Display Room and Service Dept. Rooms 614-615 CANDLER BUILDING 220 West 42nd Street Our Permanent Display Includes Cinematograph Cameras Film Perforators Film Printers Motor Generators and Accessories s/ffsf one clea7' pichtre after another with Eastman Film The film that made motion pictures practical plays a big part in their present stage of perfection. Look for the stencil mark "Eastman" in the margin. EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY, ROCHESTER, N. Y. dark areas, showing no color, will be noticed at various points throughout the resulting spectrum. This obliteration of certain regions of the spectrum is due to the fact that certain of the spectral colors have been absorbed (prevented from reaching the slit) by the colored solution through which the light has to pass. Such a spectrum is called an absorption spectrum and it shows exactly which of the spectrum colors are allowed to pass through the solution (of a dye for instance) being examined and) which are absorbed (or held back). A typical absorption spectrum is shown at D, Fig. 6, this being the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll (the green coloring matter of plants and leaves). It might be of interest to state here that Ives announced, in 1879, that a collodion plate sensitized with chlorophyll was sensitive (in some degree) to all colors of the spectrum. It will now be apparent to all readers how the properties of photographic light filters and safe-lights are tested, but, in photographic research work visual spectroscopic tests are not alone sufficient. It is found necessary, therefore, to combine the camera and the spectroscope, and we will go further into the photographic recording of color next week by considering the action of the spectroscope and camera combined. (To be continued next week) NEW YORK SALESROOMS OF BELL AND HOWELL COMPANY OPEN FOR BUSINESS THE New York salesrooms of the Bell and Howell Company, located at 220 West Forty-second street, are now open and doing business. Mr. Bell, who has been in New York for some time getting everything ready, announces that he expects to stay here until October 5, when he will go directly to Los Angeles, where he intends to open a third office. After that he will spend his time between the New York, Chicago and Los Angeles offices. The New York office will be permanently in charge of Edward F. Rinaldy, who will, in addition to his salesrooms, maintain a service department in which there will be competent people to superintend all installations and take care of minor repairs. In going over general conditions, Mr. Bell said that he considered them very good. The film manufacturers are demanding the best equipment regardless of price. No matter what make of goods are bought, they are only accepting the best, which is a very good sign. In regard to the export end of the business, Mr. Bell said that he was looking for continual increase. He says that they are receiving inquiries from all over the world and that he firmly believed that as soon as war conditions allow, American equipment is going to become standard the world over. At the present time the cost of raw materials makes exporting almost prohibitive, and as profits have been cut to a minimum the manufacturing in all lines is not being pushed. GLANTZBERG STARTS ON TRIP SOUTH FOR TYPHOON FAN COMPANY ERNST GLANTZBERG, president of the Tj-phoon Fan Company, 1544 Broadway, New York, has just started on a trip through the South. His first stop will be at Augusta, Ga., where they have contracted to install the T^-phoon system of cooling and ventilating in the New Modjeska theatre. From Augusta he will go to Savannah, where they are installing their system in the new Municipal Auditorium. This Auditorium is being built by the citjand will have a large seating capacity to accommodate the big conventions that are held in that city. Special arrangements are being made to show motion pictures. Mr. Glantzberg will also visit New Orleans, where they have just made a shipment to the New Glove theatre. This theatre is said to be the finest in New Orleans. It is a small house, but built in one of the most expensive locations. All modern equipment will be used and everything will be in keeping with the location. The success that this system has made in the Triangle, Lyceum and various theatres in New Orleans has resulted in a contract from the D. H. Holmes Companj, who have a department store occupying six or seven buildings. This order involves the use of fifteen of the largest fans, some twelve feet in diameter. Mr. Glantzberg expects that this trip will take at least one month. He mav also visit the exhibitors in Havana and Cuba. Be sure to mention " MOTION PICTURE NEWS " when writing to advertisers
