=New Projectors=

The Prewitt Theater continued to improve its movie equipment. In March of 1944, new Simplex motion picture projectors were installed to keep it 'abreast of improvements in theatre equipment'. It was reported in a local newspaper that the new projectors put a "remarkably bright, clear picture on the screen and produce a splendid true-tone over the sound equipment". The Prewitt Theater was one of the very earliest small town houses to put in sound movies.
