Television and Motion Pictures

Alfred N. Goldsmith

Ultra-short-wave television transmissions with pick-ups using electron scanning, together with cathode-ray tube reception, are regarded as likely to be acceptable for television broadcasting to the public. Comparison of the received television pictures with theater and home motion pictures indicates superiority of the latter but shows that satisfactory entertainment should also be obtainable from the former. For various physical and psychological reasons which are listed, the vogue of the theater is likely to continue, provided motion picture methods are constantly kept up-to-date and that television technic is studied and utilized to such an extent as may prove practicable.
