Abstract: The highly diversified activities required for the production of a motion picture find their effective culmination in the work of the theater projectionist. The unusually concentrated value embodied in the reels of film corresponding to a feature picture can be brought to the theater audience and made the basis for commercial returns only through the activities of the projectionist. Nevertheless the public is little aware of what goes on in the projection room. The projectionist is in part compensated by the likely stability of his activities. His present position in the theater is important. Future developments in the motion picture field, such as three-dimensional sound, wider use of color, and the like, will make his work even more important. The possible inclusion of television projection in theater programs will require his mastery of the new field which is sufficiently similar to his present activities in its broad outline to enable its handling by the theater projectionist.
