Abstract: The presentation of a motion-picture is the ultimate realization of the talents of a multitude of creative artists. In many cases the motion-picture will ultimately be projected under poor conditions. Good viewing conditions are discussed, especially the important part that the skill of the projectionist plays in achieving the goal. The damaging effect of visual distractions, picture definition and focus, screen illumination and brightness and picture steadiness are dealt with, as well as the part that the screen itself plays in good presentation, the reason for screen masking, picture overlap and other factors all of which add up to good picture presentation. Also the question of correct sound volume, the effect of extraneous noises, the reasons for poor listening conditions and the place for nonsynchronous sound reproduction are discussed. Care and maintenance of the motion-picture projector and the film itself are dealt with, including a case for the extension of use of test films and equipment as a necessary factor in the achievement of good sound and picture presentation.
