We're Shooting Out Dollars
In an effort to make this Quick Reference Picture Chart just as accurate as human carefulness can make it, we offer to the reader who finds MAJOR ERRORS, such as a wide discrepancy between printed footage on a feature or features and that which is a fact, One Dollar for your trouble in writing us a letter stating the correct facts.
Please do not consider errors that do not actually work a hardship on the user of this Chart — such as a misplaced parenthesis, or a minor typographical error.
What we want you to point out is the often unavoidable discrepancy between the footage that comes to us at time of reviewing a picture and the time you play it, caused by cutting down of a picture and failure of producer to give us correct facts regarding the changed footage.
We cannot secure exact footage on all Short Subjects and so the general term "1,000 or 2,000" feet is applied, broadly, to one or tworeel subjects. We've tried to get exact Short Subject footage, and as soon as we can get it will print it exactly Till then, consider the broader designation as the best we can do.
When you write us about a major error, realize, please, that it will take a little time to check up, and be patient — we will not delay sending you the dollar for your trouble any longer than is absolutely compulsory.
