Now Showing at Home

One of my earliest memories is watching a film strip of “Charlie Chan and the Chan Clan” on my neighbour’s basement wall, it’s a pretty happy one. I’m surprised I haven’t got a large collection of “Give A Show” type projectors as a result..

    My video of that Charlie Chan and the Chan Clan Give-A-Show strip has more hits on YouTube than any of my other ones!

    I have to admit to some confusion, though, why you posted an image of an Easy-Show Projector from a catalog, but talked about the Give-A-Show Projector?

    I wish someone on YouTube posted the Easy Show Projector B&W films.

    I collect 16mm films and show them in the back yard during the summer. So much fun!!!

    Loved the Give-A-Show projector. Had tons of really old film strips from the 60s that were handed down by my sister: Thor, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man plus several 70s staples.

    This is like the stone-age version of YouTube. I remember being amused by this kind of stuff, but it still blows my mind how tech has advanced.
