Where to Get League Slides WE are still in receipt of numerous inquiries, some from new members of the National Anti-Misframe League, and others from members who perhaps do not follow the Projection columns closely enough, as to whether there are announcement slides available wherewith an operator member of the N. A. M. L. may apprise the audience of his progressive affiliation. As was set forth in a previous issue, the Independent Movie Supply Company of 729 Seventh avenue, New York City, carry in stock an attractive colored slide bearing the insignia of the League and stating that the operator showing same is a member of the organization, a space being also reserved for the member's number. One of these slides may be secured for 50 cents in stamps, coin or money order by any League member who will send his order and remittance to the Independent Movie Supply Company, as above.
