From the Cinema to the Cinema Theater
After reviewing the development of motion-picture theater construction for silent, sound and wide-screen films, the effects of the rapprochement now taking place between the projection of motion pictures and live stage performance is discussed. The basic concepts of motion-picture theater construction as defined in the French Standard S-27,001 are reviewed and improvements suggested not only for large or multiple screen projection but also for satisfactorily adapting motion-picture projection to modern stage production. A new type of auditorium to meet the requirements of theater and cinema combined in presenting the new forms of entertainment is described.
