153 PROJECTION POINTERS Getting ready before the guests arrive is the secret of success in any home movie projection party Photographs by Frank E. Gunnell, FACL PLANNING a balanced program is the first step in arranging a successful movie party. Family, travel, nature and a newsreel make a varied menu, with an hour to hour and one half a good limit. SPLICING selected films on one big reel makes for smooth, unbroken screening. Lengths of black leader between pictures, replacing white ones, permit program pauses without a glaring screen. CLEANING the projector gate, the front and rear elements of the lens, before every screening, should be standard procedure with the careful movie maker. Spare lamp is also wise precaution. THREADING, focusing and centering the picture on the screen before guests arrive contribute to the smoothness of your presentation. If possible, have room light control at the projector. . s TUCKING the projector power cord under rugs keeps it from being tripped on in the darkened room. Hitch it around the projector table leg at other end to guard projector from sudden tugs. PLACING the guests' chairs in line with projection path assures brightest possible screen image, especially with beaded surface. Screen should, be high, level and foursquare to the picture.
