Projection, sound and curtain cue sheets for "Exodus" |

From the Rayton collection, written by: F. Wm. Boettcher, Tech. Supervisor, Otto Preminger's
"Exodus" -35mm. United Artists Corporation 729 Seventh Avenue New York
City 19, N.Y. |
Date:

Projection, sound and curtain cue sheets.
Otto Preminger's "Exodus". 35mm
Technicolor 2.35:1 anamorphic. Standard optical sound track print version
• Consists of 14 reels (2000 ft) size.
Total footage 18,670 ft.
• Total running
time less intermission - 3 hours, 27 minutes, 23 seconds
• 1st half running
time: 2 hours, 5 minutes, 23 seconds
• 2nd half running time: 1 hour, 22
minutes
This print requires the use of the theatres regular anamorphic and
prime lenses and 2.35:1 ratio optical sound track apertures for proper
projection - for proper sound reproduction of the "Exodus" 35mm version print.
The theatres standard optical sound system should have its sound reproducers
adjusted for academy sound quality response, and the volume of each
projector balanced, for best results.
In projection rooms, having fast
projector motor acceleration on starting, it is recommended that all reels
of this print be threaded to start on leader frame #10, in the aperture, to
obtain proper picture and sound changeovers. Reel #4 must be threaded
correctly, or incoming dialog by General Southerland "Call your boarding
party" will not be heard after the changeover is completed. Be sure when
making reel end changeovers, that picture and sound changeover
switch-operations is simultaneous, as delayed sound changeover can cause
missed dialog on incoming reels.

Special instructions to managers and projectionists "Exodus" 35mm
|
|
The
35mm Technicolor prints of "Exodus" are very costly prints.
You are herein requested to assist in every way possible, to assure the
preservation of the 35mm print shipped to your theatre for "Exodus"
presentation. Be sure that the theatres 35mm sound projectors and the 35mm
rewinding
equipment and the 35mm film storage facilities are in clean and perfect
mechanical operation condition, and that no damage to the "Exodus" print
occurs, due to neglected theatre equipment maintenance or improper
adjustment.
As the "Exodus" 35mm prints shipped to your theatre are mounted on 2,000 ft.
Reels, and each of the 10 reels is only conservatively loaded, it is herein
requested, that none of these reels be further doubled-up, during your
theatre engagement use.
We recommend that the "Exodus" 35mm print reels, at all times when not in
use for the show, be properly stored in your 35mm reel storage cabinets, or
if insufficient storage cabinet space (14) is not available, that the odd
reels should be stored in tie prints shipping containers for proper
preservation.
Records on print service life expectation, of 35mm Technicolor prints, are on
file, where the original print furnished to the theatre was the only print
used during the theatres entire engagement. Your care and proper
maintenance of your equipment is necessary for the preservation of the
"Exodus" print, furnished to your theatre.
Instructions will be forwarded to your theatre, after the end of your
engagement by your local United Artists exchange, as to the pick-up and
disposal of your "Exodus" 35mm Technicolor print.
There is no overture, intermission or exit music attached to any of the
"Exodus" print reels.
Under no circumstances is any record or other type of
music, to be played for overture intermission or exit purposes during the
presentation of any "Exodus" performance in your theatre, at any time.
