Van Quren, 9oweJl Award Letters Quit Comin' and Honor Roll Gets Going SATURDAY, January the sixteenth of the month, drifted along as expected at the end of the week^ and I_bein' the once Poor, belitted, and now still Hardworkin' Print— tooken a long breath of glad joy at seem how big was the bunch of mail which wasn't love letters but was letters I love to have gotten so many of. Of course you're wise that this bunch of mail come from^ them who have sent lists of the THINGS which was helpin' protect the print, and which was exhibited and showed on the big Christmas Tree that I was gave, and also namem what these which wrote was doin' to protect the print on their own behalf and for the good of the industry. Pulmotors Handy For Judges When all the letters was piled up in front of Van who is with F. W. Richardson of "Better Projection" and H._ H. Buxbaum, Fox Exchange Manager and other big and important position going to render decisions and find out which is the letters to get the Awards of the Twenty-five dollars first award from Chalmers Publishin' Company, Duplex Patching Block, second award from Duplex Film Industries, Rewinder Set, third award from Independent Movie Supply Company, all tendered and donated in the the interest of this Protect-the-Print campaign— (lemme get my breath !)— when, as I started to say, the mail was saw on the desk, I quick sent out for pulmotors, because it is goin' to knock the ozone out of these folkses' lungs, to see what they has got to pick and choose the best from out of, there bein' such a whale of a bunch and all I have saw bein' so excellent. Projectors and Equipment Gave Attention It is a surprise and a delightful pleasure to read what good care the letters show. Projectors is claimed to be treated as good, and handled with kid gloves as much, as is done with the writers' best pet sweetie-doll. Patchin' apparatus, rewinders, and so forth, gets handled so they can give a hunderd per centage of their full protection. The namein' of parts in the accurately correct list shows how well knowed and perfect is the projector and the parts of the .projector which entered into the picture — also the bigger machines which was disposed around and ajacent to the smaller things. Even the photographed picture on the wall was recos?nized and its contents identified. Be Patient and Wait Tci Hear Your Fate Now it is goin' to take the judges a little while to find out what is what. So keep your projector in good shape, put oil where it helps and don't let it get where it hurts, watch your step so that your equipment does as good work as you do — and just as quick as a decision is decided finally and with liberty and justice for all and malice towards none, I will project onto the screen of your attention the answer to your question — '"HowM I come out?" Honor Handed to Them Where It Is Due Now, you have heard of Musterole, Parker House Rolls and so on, but what I want to mention and speak of now is the Honor Roll. Remember, Dave Strayer said to hand out credit instead of slingin' bricks. That is also the idea of Mr. P. A. McGuire, who is with the International Projector Corporation and who is always workin' in the behalf of general betterment of projection matters. Well, the blank which Van published as been used by some, and the names which has been gave are showed below herewith. It is a surprise to me when I see that it is all exhibitors who has sent in the returned blanks. Is it possible that EXHIBITORS is so generous and EXCHANGES is not? Loosen up, exchange managers — you know there is exhibitors and projectionists which send your prints back in good shape. If the exhibitors is good enough to give you credit— YOU DO THE SAME BY THEM ! Exchanges, spill the names of them exhibitors who send your prints back in best shape — and exhibitors, keep on tellfn' about the exchanges which does the same for you in their service. Here is some names of folks who can be proud of their work in helpin' to protect the print: Honor Roll "The Exchange Managers in the Crescent City are all fine fellows and they realize that good treatment of the small town exhibitors will work a very direct benefit to themselves. First National, Film Booking Offices, William Fox, Warner Brothers, Liberty Film Distributing Corporation invariably send us good prints out of New Orleans, hence we can only give them praise." .H. H. Hedberg^ Amuse-U Theatre, Melville, Louisiana. "Exchange which returns prints to me in best concfition in my territory is First National (WinnipegCalgary).** G. T. BsJdy, Rosetown, Sask., Canada. "Exchange in my territory which returns prints to me in best condition is Paramount (Boston) Exchange." H. M. Morton, Continental Theatre, Providence, Rhode Islands "In my territory, put on your honor roll. Famous Players (Peoria, Illinois) Exchange." Walter Johnson, Park Theatre, Champaign, Illinois.
