OCTOBER 7, 1963 Where, this month, can theatremen and concessionaires go to see and learn so much that will help them to operate more efficiently and more successfully during the rest of this year and in 1964? The answer, of course, is the motion picture industry tradeshow to be held October 27-31 in connection with the conventions of the Theatre Owners of America, Theatre Equipment <S Supply Manufacturers Ass'n, Theatre Equipment Dealers Ass'n and the National Ass'n of Concessionaires in the Americana Hotel, New York City. The happy timing of the convention of Allied States Ass'n of Motion Picture Exhibitors at the same hotel the week before (21-24) will undoubtedly induce many of its members to stay over a few days in order to visit the tradeshow which promises to be truly "bigger and better" than ever before. contents ☆ Film Splices and Changeover Marks Wesley Trout 6 Luxurious Drive-In for Puerto Rico 8 "Lite-Tite," All-Steel Fence and Wing Walls 10 Xenosol Projection Lighting Systems Performing Well 10 Soft Ice Cream Machine Turns Out an Ample Supply to Satisfy Drive-In Patrons Bess Jenkins 11 A "Sweet" Story— Candy, Mints, Gum R.
