I just remembered, back in the early 80's when I worked in a movie theater in downtown Washington D.C., we ran show intros between the double-features (remember those ).

They were made by the BIC company, and were two cigarette lighters facing each other, "talking", saying stuff about not making noise or smoking in the theater. They were incredibly low-budget, usually with a plain black backround. The humor was soooo dry, tool.

Did anybody else have to endure these shorts at theaters in the 80's?

If not, which ones do you remember from the 70's-80's era.

James.

I have seen a number of BIC lighter INTERMISSION tags laying around here, along the lines of "Its Intermission Time Folks!, anyone who smokes please leave the cinema as this is a no smoking cinema, and remember always use BIC quality lighters!"

it was something along those lines, have not seen one in commercial use before, only on shelves in projection rooms never to see the light of the arc again

I have those BIC policy trailers archived, but they haven't made it online as of yet since I have been so busy. There are other policy trailers archived over at www.film-tech.com you can view.
