Ml tSAIC mirrored lettering mounted on velour, nr basket weave materials is gaining in popularity for use in connection with marquee valances and
banners featuring special attractions in frontal displays at motion picture theatres.

John S. Cohen, Jr., in the New York Sun, said : "Naturally, when stunningly composed shots are shown on a wider film the illusion is greater and — here, at any rate, it is more impressive."
