Author Topic: The Iron Horse (1924) Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-18-2011 06:46 PM                     Silent -- 20.5 fps 1.33AR 6 reels Reel 2 fades to black Note: Each reel ends with card that reads "End of Part x." The changeover cues on our print were scribed to NOT show these cards, so operator delay is necessary if you want to show these cards.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-14-2011 01:02 AM                     Why would you want to show the cards?  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-28-2012 03:12 PM                     Because mid-reel there are cards that say "End of part x" so if you don't want the audience wondering "what happened to part y" then you have to show all of the cards. using the scribed cues (on that print) would result in a scenario where you're showing some, but not all.  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 01-28-2012 03:15 PM                     Those are 1000' heads and footers and should have been spliced out of the print (of course, because it's an archival print, an archive would never do that). They would not have been shown in the '20s.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

That's all I'm saying.  |  IP: Logged
