With an offer of a job as a movie projectionist, provided she could find some films to project, handsome Use hurried to Munich, batted her eyes at the first U.S. Army film officer she found, soon had her hands on a steady supply of prewar German productions. Two years later, Use borrowed 50,000 marks from a bank, bought 30 installments of Zorro serials from the U.S.'s Republic Pictures, and pieced together two full-length features. She made a million marks from her investment and used her profits to start Gloria Films in a Munich basement...
Searching the neighborhood, police found ten bombs, twelve detonators and nine bullets beneath the bed of Projectionist Georghios Kaliyorou, 20, who had living quarters in the movie theater. Kaliyorou himself was nowhere to be found. British army explosive experts insisted that the bombs, oozing nitroglycerin, were too dangerous to move, and two hours later got telephone permission from Governor Sir Hugh Foot for what Cypriots angrily denounced as a deliberate reprisal. The men were authorized to blow up the bombs where they were-inside the three-story movie house right in the middle of Famagusta...
Pioneers & Prices. If Bell & Howell's new camera fulfills the forecasts, the company will reach a peak that Chicago Movie Projectionist Donald H. Bell and Camera Repairman Albert S.

...balancing Reciprocal Trade against American tariff claims, President Eisenhower has rejected eight of the ten tariff hikes recently proposed by the U.S. Tariff Commission. But as the chief of a projectionist political party, the President has never been able to establish the precise tariff standard needed to balance American allies against American domestic defense. The President's Foreign Trade Bill faced devastating Republican opposition in the House, barely passing without crippling amendments. Now, in the Upper Chamber, the bill is currently under the fire of sharpshooting projectionist Senators...
...good, he has served the Administration well in its battles with Republican isolationists of the inland states. On the whole, however, he has followed the Eastern Republican policy of talking internationalism while at the same time making cuts in foreign aid programs. Unlike Furcolo, he has followed projectionist principles in voting for import restrictions. Also, he has never supported extensive social and welfare legislation. In the last Congress, he voted to give the tidelands oil to the states, although Massachusetts would have benefited had the land remained under federal jurisdiction. Saltonstall also voted in favor of the Dixon-Yates power...
