Engineering, September, 1929 Page 63 THE PROJECTIONIST SOUND INSTITUTE Was Created in Response to a Pressing Demand for a Correspondence School of Electrical Acoustics by Those Who Are Now Identified with the Art of Talking and Sound Pictures — Also for the Thousands That Will Have to Be Drawn in to Meet the Ever-Increasing Demand for Sound Engineers. POLICY These courses which are prepared by the best authorities on Sound will qualify you as an Electrical Acoustic Engineer as well as keep you informed at all times of the many improvements that are taking place daily in this rapidly advancing art. Our technical department will help you solve your individual local problems at all times free of charge. This service has already saved many thousands of dollars to theatre owners. PURPOSE The purpose of these courses is to give to you all of the available knowledge of the art and the underlying fundamental principles of sound in an everyday, plain-talk language that anyone is able to thoroughly understand so that you will be capable of operating and servicing any make of sound equipment. DEMAND In the 20,000 theatres throughout the United States and Canada, which now employ approximately 50,000 projectionists, it is estimated that less than 5% of this number are qualified to fill the position as Sound operators. Many thousands of new men will have to be taken into this field as fast as theatres are wired for sound as the additions of sound doubles the number of operators required. This condition will create many thousands of positions at salaries ranging from $75.00 to $200.00 per week.
