During 35year career as movie projectionist you see lot of changes both in the way movies are shown and in the kinds of movies shown seventyfouryearold Owen tough who retired last year had his first projectionists job in aldonia nt theatre in 1943 and ended his career at the Barrie DriveIn tough trained as an appren tice in 1943 when medical pro blems caused by 25 years work in the gypsum business forced him to switch jobs His starting salary as an apprentice was $2 week for six nights work He worked in half dozen small towns in southern Ontario hetore moving to Barrie in 1961 to work at the Barrie Huronia DriveIn which no longer ex ists He worked as manager and then as projectionist later moving to the Imperial theatre on Dunlop Street and then to the Barrie DriveIn near Shanty Bay The biggest change hes seen in 35 years as movie projec tionist has been the switch from nitrate film which is highly flammable to safety film EXPLOSION If nitrate film broke while the projector was running the heat from the lamp could ignite it causing sudden explosion of flames Id close the shutters on the projector and then use the fire extinguisher recalls Gough Then Id crawl on my hands and knees out of the booth The smoke was so thick you couldnt see above the floor ld crawl out the exit door by that time the fire department had arriv ed Nitrate film drove most pro jectionists up the wall it wor ried you all the time DRIVEIII THEATRE leamuois mi Inuitmi Enema OWEN llill many changes Before automatic equipment came into use in the 1960s pro jectionists had to switch manually from one projector to another as one reel ended and another began That called tor very careful coordination since the cue marks on the screen were only eight seconds apart and the final cue mark gave the projectionist only one second to get the second project or synchronized with the first If you linked you could miss it says Gough Now the switchover is done automatically or the problem is eliminated by putting the entire film on one large platter that feeds into the projector Gough has an endless supply of anecdotes about the people hes worked with One former employer who had keener

projectionists AVOID BILLS The same employer used to sleep on newspapers in the pro jectionists booth when he was visiting his theatres to avoid having to pay hotel bills Battles between unionized projectionists and theatre owners produced some bizarre incidents Gough recalls one theatre owner in Hamilton who resented having to hire two pro jectionists because his theatre had 1000 seats union regulation The owner removed one seat and the union picketted the theatre closing it down for three weeks The owner gave in and put the seat back But while the technology of film projection has improved Gough feels the quality of movies hasnt Since retiring hes seen only one movie Im tired of the violence he says And prefer to watch the older stars rather than the new ones tough also regrets that theres no longer market for good family movies He still watches the occasional film on TV but hes not passionate movie fan like his grandson whos manager and projec tionist in Orangeville Gough has given away his books on movie projection and hes happy tinkering with mm camera he received when he retired In 35 years as movie projectionist you see so many films that its only fitting when you
