and placed back into the safety cabinet ready for the next show. The majority of film exchanges request that the film be returned to them unrewound just as it is taken off the projector after it has been run, it being the rule in exchanges that the film be examined starting at the end and working back to the beginning of. the subject; this is to eliminate the risk of their sending the picture on to the next theatre, tail-end first. Care should be taken to see that all pieces of film are kept off the floor of the operating and rewinding room ; a special can fitted with a self-closing door or lid should be a part of the necessary equipment of the operating room. Film should at all times be handled with great care, as owing to the ingredients from which it is made, mtro-cellulose and camphor, it is highly inflammable. Never under any circumstances expose film near a naked light; do not smoke while handling film or in a room where film is stored ; film should not be stored in a warm dry atmosphere unless it is kept in a humidor. Do not attempt to run a show if using inflammable film without having the projector enclosed in an approved fireproof booth; perhaps an editorial we prepared for the Educational Film Magazine on this subject will be appropiate here.
In New York State and, in fact, every state of the Union certain very stringent rules and regulations have been drawn up and must be complied with before it is possible to obtain a permit for the purpose of showing motion pictures. We advise all those in any way interested in the showing of motion pictures to get a copy of the law and read it carefully over.
