Van Baren foweH Ahout That Protect'the'Print Award STARTED somethin', all righty, when I sung that first warble about Heaven protectin' the poor workin' Print ! I fired the first gyn — right away an exchange manager fired a careless inspector — then an exhibitor got fired with zeal and bought him some projector parts from off the manufacturer which actually made the projector which they was for, and I have saw at least six cement bottles of poor cement, layin' in waste cans — and not all used out, neither! Then they backed up my yodle by showin' a Christmas Tree which had on it every sort of different parts and things that goes to help Protect the Print. And Chalmers Publishing Company allows YOUR EQUIPMENT to get TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS, repeat this way ($25.00), in the interest of this Protect the Print campaine, to be gave as a FIRST AWARD to the one who can name the most correctest list of them things showed on the said Xmas Tree and at the same time send the best letter which says what the writer does to Protect the Print. So Duplex Film Industries gets busy and allots YOUR EQUIPMENT a Duplex Patching Block which is to be gave as second prize for the second most correct list, and the second best letter with it about what is being did by the one writin' to Protect the Print — and that's helpin', I'll say! So Independent Movie Supply Company which has Mr. Rabell at the head of it, and which gentleman is certainly anxious and glad to do anything to boost this Protect the Print movement, its Mr. Smith says, "Go to it, in the interest of Protecting the Print, we will allot a Rewinder Set," and this is to be gave as third prize for the third most correctest list with the third best letter about how the author of it is doing to Protect the Print. And in the case there would be a tie in any of these three cases, there will be gave a similar prize of the above to each of them which ties. |iiiiiii»iii<ii"ii>i>u iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiii I iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin^ I WHO PROTECTS THE PRINT FOR YOU? | I Van, j I Moving Picture World, | I 516 Fifth Avenue, New York. | I I operate a theatre and in the interest of your | I an exchange | I Protect-the-Print campaign, wish to say that the | I exhibitor which returns prints to me in the best | I exchange I I condition in my territory is , | I Put his name on your Honor | I Roll. I I Signed _ . | iiiiiiiiniiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiHiiu So H. H. Buxbaum, of Fox Exchange, and F. H. Richardson, of Movin' Picture World's BETTER PROJECTION agrees to be in with Van, of this YOUR EQUIPMENT, to act as judges on these lists and letters which must now be all into the office of Moving Picture World, 516 Fifth Avenue, New York, by noon of January Sixteenth, and thereafter the prizes will be gave as soon as the judges gets the mail all read and decided upon as to what is best. And Dave Strayer writes that you must say WHAT EXHIBITOR OR EXCHANGE sends prints in best condition— and I've ast Van to reprint the blank about it again once more this week, which he has did, so if you didn't use it last week use it now. But a feller out in the sticks writes in that the things on the Christmas Tree in the Award business is too small for him to guess what they are. Well, now, this wasn't to be no guessing game. It's a straight, open-and-shut idea to stimulate Protect-the-Print interest, so I am having took bigger pictures of the things which was showed in the first original picture of the Xmas Tree — and these is all of them, took close-up as the studios says. Now you can see them. If you know what they are — and you ought to if you handle Prints — send a list of them with a letter about what you do to protect the print, to Van, at above stated place and address. In this way you can show what you do in a good cause and also maybe your list and letter will be the one that will be picked and chose, because use of spelling and correct wording of English don't count. The little small things which you may not have saw in the Christmas Tree picture.
