82 MOGULL'S, Inc.— NEW YORK, N. Y. MOGULL'S MOTION PICTURE SCREENS SCREEN MATERIALS The degree of pleasure and satisfaction derived from projected pictures depends largely upon the selection of the screen used. Therefore, we offer the following brief descriptions of the more important advantages and limitations of the various fabrics we offer, hoping that it will aid in the selection of the proper screen. WHITE OPAQUE This is a high grade black fabric of the "diffuse" deflector type. It has a special face coating that produces a "flat white" or "matte" surface which distributes the reflected light evenly over a wide area. But it is not as efficient a light reflector as other screens listed in this catalogue. It will give excellent results if the screen size is not too large for the light available. SILVERTONE This is an aluminum coated fabric of the "semi-specular" reflection type, which when viewed from an angle approximately equal to but opposite from the angle of projection shows pictures ' at are very brilliant, but owing to its specular characteristic the brilliancy fades when the viewing angle is greater than 12 or 15 degrees from the angle of reflection. CRYSTAL BEADED Like all "beaded" type screens this is a "semi-diffuse" reflection of light. Millions of tiny crystal-clear beads are securely and evenly imbedded in the white pigment coating on the face of the screen fabric. Pictures shown on this type of screen, when viewed from angles less than about 20 degrees from the axis of projection, are more brilliant than on any other type of screen now in general use. WITELITE Is a specially rubberized opaque fabric with a smooth "flat white" face surface and a black back. It reflects light diffusely and is therefore suitable for all types of rooms and auditoriums. It may be freely washed with soap and water and folding does not crack or injure it in any way. This screen (perforated) has been in use in theatres for a long time in connection with "sound movies". HAFTONE By a patented process this fabric is so treated that it acts as a ray filter. The harsh "glare" rays, always present in a beam of unfiltered projected light, are absorbed or filtered out. It is a perfect "diffuse" reflector and suitable for any shaped room or auditorium. Pictures, are rich in detail and have no "graininess." Colored pictures, such as kodachrome, are at their best when shown on this screen. It is rubber processed and may be freely washed and folded without cracking. In modified form this screen is used in all Loew's and many other leading theatres.
