PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE "Preventive maintenance" stated Jules Wolfe, "Is just plain, every day horse-~sense as practiced in your own home by yourself and your wife,"
Costly emergency breakdowns can be prevented ... if all of your employees are trained to think in terms of 'Preventive! maintenance, Take care of the simple every-day repairs «.. and if you come across an item that requires outside help ... don't wait until it reaches emergency proportions ... get estimates immediately «oe forward them to our Maintenance department ... and they'll pick it up from there. That is why our monthly maintenance reports are so important, and deserve your very close scrutiny. From them we get a constant picture of the physical condition of your property. The important thing is that your employees ... and yourself ... exercise constant vigilance ... recognize minor defects, and REPAIR THEM.
Let's be honest fellows ... How long is it since you referred to your !'Maintenance Manual?! ... How long is it since you ses and we mean YOU PERSONALLY, made a complete check of your theatre, from roof to basement with your houseman or engineer? This should be a REGULAR WEEKLY RITUAL. A routine check should be made every day.
A dirty theatre reflects an inefficient operation. The dirt that is on high ledges today will be on your lower draperies tomorrow. Make sure that you regularly inspect your carpets occ drapes, hangings and fixtures, Check your light bulbs, hinges, doors and all out-of-the-way areas,.. Fire hose, extinguishers, exit doors and safety appliances should be closely scrutinized coe Every seat must be checked .-. floor and seat bottoms should be examined for gum .«.. and the gum removed.
Your carpets will last longer if they are PROPERLY cleaned every day. Don't just remove the surface dirt o.. get all the grit and grime out by proper vacuuming.
Your mechanical equipment ... boilers, fans, air-condition units, electric motors etc. should be regularly inspected and cleaned. Filters should be kept immaculately clean, and all motors regularly lubricated.

Make sure that you keep a regular inventory of all supplies and purchase only what is required, If your light bulbs are not giving you the guaranteed life, save them and return them for credit. Your marquee and sign display sells your show ee. Is it doing the job for which it was intended? Dead lamps, dirty glass and neon will reflect a shabby, dull appearance, and possibly discourage many prospective customers.
