The results on the receiver are most pleasing to the eye and compare favourably with the cinema screen.
Normally, if y(Mi have a leading lady whose face calls for a little "aid," you use a diffusing screen or a "blanket."
In this process you do not need any of these, as the cathode ray tube does all the beautifying one could wish for. I do not mean by this that all shots are diffused and woolly. Far from it — long shots and medium shots are clean cut, with a very slight gauzed effect.

Having considered the various forms of television studio operation in use up to the present day, let us now go a little further, and try to visualise the lines along which studio development will run.
It is already a far call from the first spotlight studio, with the scanning beam coming through a small window from the control room, scanning a single face, to the modern intermediate film studio with its sets and scenery and stage.
Yet, if the present pace of technical improvement is maintained, it is safe to prophesy that another two years will see the most lavish forms of entertainment brought to countless firesides by ultra short-wave radio.
The television studio of the future will undoubtedly follow more closely the techniciue of the film studio of to-day, rather than the broadcast studio. So closely in fact do the requirements of film-making tally with those of television broadcasting, that portable television transmitters could be arranged to operate turn about with the cameras in existing studios, without alterations of any kind to the studio arrangements or organisation.
No matter how perfect the transmission of the fullyextended or "stage" scene becomes, however, there will always be an important part played by the close-up scan of individual artistes. And, whilst both the electron
