How Gold King Screens Were Evolved by Jones S. H. Jones, president of the Gold King Moving Picture Screen Company, Oklahoma City, commenced his connection with the industry as an exhibitor in Altus, Okla , in 1911. Before he had been a year in the show business he was overcome by a desire to obtain a clearer picture than he had up to that time been able to secure. The more he thought over the project, the more of a strangle hold it took upon him, so he finally capitaulated to it, negotiated for a bolt of cloth at the nearest dry goods emporium and proceeded to experiment on his purchase, one square yard at a time. The local druggist, from whom he procured the chemicals for his experimental coatings, had about made up his mind that Jones was starting an analytical laboratory on the side when the latter struck the right combination and made a full-sized screen, which he hung in his picture theatre. Wished That He'd Done It Before The first show that he shot on to that screen was so much better than anything that had preceded in his house that the entire audience became saturated with the idea that Jones had blown himself to a new projection machine and a lot of fancy equipment. Many of them observed audibly that they wished he had done it several months previously. When the show let out, Jones was the center of a large and appreciative gathering of congratulators on his supposedly new projector, to whom he had the time of his life explaining that this time it was the screen that was entitled to the blue ribbon. The screen made such a hit that its fame spread to the surrounding towns, and before he knew it Jones, who had applied for and obtained a patent, was supplying Gold King screens to his former fellow exhibitors. L. W. Atwater Wins His Promotion in the U. T. E. L. W. Atwater, who for the past year and a half has successfully managed the New York branch store of the United Theatre Equipment Corporation, is now connected with the executive office, at 1604 Broadway. The business at the New York branch has been most gratifying under the careful guidance and efficient management of Mr. Atwater and his many friends will wish him continued success in his added responsibilities. He will supervise the sale of the new U. T. E. Proctor Automatic Projector, bow being manufactured for distribution outside the territory in which the United Theatre Corporation holds the franchise for distribution of the Powers' Cameragraph. Mr. Atwater is a pioneer in his experience with motion picture machines, having started in the motion picture industry with the Edison Company in 1904. He was sales manager for the Nicholas Power Company as well as the Precision Machine Company, manufacturer of the Simplex machine. In these capacities he has come in personal contact with users of projection apparatus in this and other countries. There is probably no one better versed in sales promotion of theatre equipment than he. The New York branch is now in charge of Edward A. Cumberland, who needs no introduction as he has officiated as assistant manager for many months. Sun-Light Arc on Job On Wednesday night, December 1, a large building at Fifty-second street and Broadway, New York, collapsed. WithiB an hour from the time of the accident being reported, a Sun-Light Arc motor gencrating set and two Sun-Light Arc Lamps were on the job flooding the scene with two hundred thousand candle-power of light. The daily press and the news weeklies responding to the emergency call, found no need for flash or other lights by which to take stills and grind film when and as they desired. The abundance of pure actinic light furnished by the Sun-Light Arc equipment obviating the necessity for any other illumination.
