Demonstration of Large-Screen Television at Philadelphia

In an effort to determine some of the problems and to learn some of the limitations and potentialities of the instantaneous projection method of large-screen theater television, Twentieth Century-Fox, with the assistance of the Radio Corporation of America, made an installation in the Fox-Philadelphia Theater, June, 1948. It is the purpose of this paper to give a factual report on the problems encountered in locating, installing, programming, and using the equipment in a typical operating downtown theater, and to comment on the reaction of the audience to a showing of the Louis-Walcott world's championship fight.
