Line's Programs-Introducing FRL - Francis Line Filmmaker

INTRODUCING
FRANCIS R. LINE
In the last fifteen years Francis R. Line has personally presented his color motion pictures before more than a million persons in America, on nearly every major lecture course in the land from the National Geographic’s CONSTITUTION HALL in Washington, D.C. (eight appearances) to the 3000-seat Civic Auditorium in his own Pasadena (ten appearances.) Columbia University’s Illustrated Lecture Course has presented him twelve times, and the World Adventure Series of Detroit, twenty times, demonstrating a popularity seldom equalled.

Humor and adventure, intelligent commentary, superior photography, plus the fact that his films contain an indescribable quality often termed spiritual, are the reasons for their success.
* * *
Ninety-three percent of Line’s bookings have been repeat engagements, which has lowered his advertising and booking costs to a degree that he can present superior programs at reduced fees. Of importance to the peace-of-mind of Program Chairmen is the fact that in his fifteen years on the platform, Line has never missed nor been late for a single engagement.
