Movie Makers (Jun-Dec 1928)

WHY MEN LEAVE HOME (for summer camps) Perhaps it is not wholly due to the fact that they can now have moving picture shows at their summer camp. We won't take too much credit. But, at any rate, a summer camp is a little more fun of an evening with an up-to-date comedy or feature picture scheduled before the youngsters have to turn in. We wish you would try it. You can very easily and, incidentally, at a low cost. Let us tell you about it.

The screen surface is composed of myriads of tiny pieces of glass, reflecting a picture of great depth and definition, giving natural perspective and a stereoscopic effect. Certain types of these screens come in portable boxes of metal or wood with a device permitting the screen to be erected in a single movement by the pulling of a ring. They are so constructed that all possibility of damage to the screen is excluded and the entire operation takes about one second's time. The company is also offering screens for projection from the rear for showing the picture through the screen. This type comes in three surfaces, fine, medium or coarse, the use of each depending on the size of the picture projected. Both front and rear surfaces of this type are of glass.
