‘My. J. be Bronn, President,
Euntington Laboratories,
Huntington, Indiana, —

Dear Mr, Brenn: ~

, _ . It just! oceurred to me in one of my lucid
moments that I ‘had failed to write you concerning
your comment on the poor lighting that the Eastman

- people permitted for our picture. They were rather
an unfortunate victim of circumstances in this case,

: They filmed the Kansas pictures here in
Lawrence and weitsae anae the Pathe News man in

) Liliem Andlauer, to do the work, The .
Pathe people had some old equipment, and the light-
ing was terrible, They did the shooting in our

gymnasium, |

lite. Edwards, the Eastman man, came here and
we worked two different weekends on these pictures

nd they were an utter failure. That, of course,

 meeessitated a lot of expense for the whole concern,

Bhe expense of taking the Kansas team to
Rochester, N. Y., for the filming was prohibitive,

so the Saestman people arranged for the Acme Edueca-

- tional Films Company of Chicago to drive their sound

truck and lighting equipment to Lawrence. The

location was changed from the gymnasium te the now

- auditorium, which is auch larger and provides a more

_commodious space for shooting than in Robinson Gyn-

iG It was found that the gymmasium transformer |
_ gould not carry the extra load for the added lighting
that the Aeme people carried. It was for that reason
primarily that they were transferred over to the
auditerium. — oe as
