TRUTH IN FILM ADVERTISING The Dayton Wright Airplane Co. Dayton, Ohio DIRECTORS U.S.A. H.E.TALBOTT ORVILLE WRIGHT C.F.KETTERING JUlV S7th, 1918, GEORCEH.MEAD " H.E.TALBOTT.Jr,, Universal Film Company, 1600 Broadway, New York, K. Y. Gentlemen: Attention Mr. Harry Levey, Industrial Dept: We wish to congratulate you on the workmanship and thought in connection with the 8-reel motion pi6ture you produced of our plant and product. While our original idea was to produce an industrial picture for educational purposes only, the final result was so good that in addition to this use, it will be shown throughout the country as a feature film in the best theatres for a paid admission. The camera work is splendid. Details are brought out perfectly and the scenario writer has made a wonderfully interesting human story out of cold mechanical operations. The picture is a revelation to us and convinces us of the wonderful possibilities of industrial film photography if handled by an efficient organization such as yours undoubtedly is. Special commendation is due the cameraman, who in fulfilling his task was compelled to ascend fully 8,000 feet into the heaven and go through the same manouvres as a trained aviator to get some of the remarkable scenes he has taken. Yours ve;ry trul; ofVice 'manager. An Industrial Film good enough to play in the best theatres for a paid admission. That's our story — now get in touch with us.
