Tom,

My version of the photo uploading directions:

When you click on the "Post Reply" button, you're taken to the page where you type your reply in the message box. Underneath that box, on the left side is a link that reads "Click here to upload an image." If you click on that, you're taken to the Image Upload page. Scroll down and you'll see
a place to enter your user name and password. After doing that, click on the "Browse" button, which lets you choose the photo you want to upload.
Remember, the photo can't be any larger than 550 pixels wide and must be less than 200K file size. After you've chosen the photo, click the "Submit" button. If everything works properly, you'll see the "Success! Your Photo has been uploaded!" page. Copy the link for your photo and paste it into your response.
The photo should show up in your post!

Doug

Doug,

A few members do not know how to "copy and paste". When you get to Doug's "Copy the link for your photo" step just right click your mouse and slowly swipe it across the "photo link". The link will then be highlighted. Now place your cursor in the highlighted area and right click. A small window will open. Click on "copy". Then go back to the reply you were keying and right click in the area where you want the photo appear. Select "paste". Good luck! [Smile]

How about we get a lesson in training while at Wildwood - Actually, courses in this type of film technology would be useful

A few more, when you look at the prices back in the ealry 70s you realise that in real terms films are actualy the same if not cheaper, i'll jump to the sound listing page,

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on September 06, 2010, 02:27 PM:

How did Columbia manage to realese the Universal titles in sound, with Castle right along side?

On the back page, here shown the address at the bottom of the page says, "distributed by Capitol film distributors 193, Wardour St London,
Wardour Street is also the address that always came up during the ads in cinemas,

Joe,
This is a Capitol catalogue that distributed Castle, Columbia and Republic films in England.

Ah, said the dentist when he was looking in the mirror...Thank you - John Black asked about Golden Reel Films, I'm stumped, thought our own (and everyone's own) Doug Meltzer might shed some light on this distributor and what they had - Take it, DM - Shorty
