Stereo For All Fox Films
Complete use of the full qualities of stereophonic sound in CinemaScope motion pictures — with particular emphasis on the "surround" or fourth sound track on each piece of film has been announced by 20th Century-Fox.
Pointing out that more than one-third of the nation's theatres have C-Scope equipment and full four-speaker sound systems, 20th-Fox said that all its forthcoming releases will take full advantage of the surround strip for background scores, special sound effects and off-stage atmosphere sounds.
