Portable RCA [Radio Corporation of America] Model 400 16mm sound film projector and amplifier. The main bulk of the projector consists of blue metal divided into various parts where the motor is, the light bulb [set into a section that can fold away from the body], and the exposed mounting mechanism where the reels sit. Throughout the face are various black plastic and metal switches and knobs to control the projector. On top of the main body is a handle to carry it, on both short sides are metal clasps that hold the case cover in place, and on the bottom are four rubber feet to keep the projector off the table - on the back is an opening in the cover to expose a power outlet and an import for the audio cable. A projector cable how-to diagram is adhered to the inside of the removable cover above two black elastic loops that possibly held spare parts.The external speaker is in its own grey-green travel case with a handle on top and a hinged back that opens to expose the back of the speaker [fronted by a grille on the main body of the case] and storage space. Inside the case is the power cable and audio cable, two spare light bulbs in their original cardboard boxes [one box is empty], and the two support arms for the reels.

History / Biographical
"Far Country," 1954, directed by Anthony Mann and starring James Stewart, Ruth Roman, Corinne Calvet, and Walter Brennan. A Wyoming cowboy drives a herd of cattle from Skagway, Alaska, to the Klondike hoping to make a profit selling to beef-starved miners in Dawson City, Yukon. But he is bedeviled by a corrupt Skagway sheriff-judge and his gang. After his partner is killed on their gold claim, the cowboy takes the law into his own hands. Location filming for all mountain scenes filmed in Jasper National Park (Athabasca Glacier, Mount Edith Cavell). Bruno Engler appeared in costume as an extra while filming on location at the Athabasca Glacier, part of his role as safety officer for the film. At one point the crew was setting up under an icefall Engler deemed dangerous, ordering them out from under it - soon after, an avalanche came down and buried the location they'd been in. Fred Brewster provided 80 horses and 50 longhorn cattle from his Jasper outfit for the film. Also includes the October 1953 edition of "Universal International Studio Club News" newsletter covering the filming of "Far Country."
