Sounding Off

Last week you published a letter regarding the sound system in the Memorial Theatre. While one can sympathise with those who found it difficult to hear the Stones music, the fault lies not with the sound system in the Theatre, but with the sound-track on the film. One of the continuing major problems with the films is that we have no control over the quality of the film print. This problem is made worse by films that are not made by the big monopoly film companies which have all the latest equipment.

The Rolling Stones film and the Fillmore film that followed the next day, were made by amateurs who were out to keep the price down—accordingly the quality of the soundtrack was inferior. Further, many of the films that we receive look as if they have been through a coffee grinder and then stuck together again. While attempts are made to present the films in the best possible condition, this is not always possible.

Where films are of poor quality then people are warned, and in some cases the film is shown for free. Hopefully 'Your Souls Destoyed' will continue to enjoy and attend the films that Studass puts on.
