B. Lewis, general manager of company controlled by Howard Hughes. Multicolor's simplicity and adaptability to standard camera equipment are the favorable factors in its more extensive use, Lewis says General and executive offices of the company will be located in the new building, which will be two stories high and contain about 50,000 square feet of floor space. Officials of the company say that the facilities of the plant will enable producers to get daily rushes in both sound and color at the same speed as monochrome. Green Lights Ahead!
