FOR COLOR PICTURES You Especially Need DA-LITE’S BRIGHTER GLASS-BEADED SUDFACE The greater density of the emulsion on Kodachrome and Dufaycolor film requires the brighter light reflective quality of a glass-headed screen in order to bring out all of the colors as brilliantly as they appear in the original scene. The specially constructed shatter-proof Da-Lite Glass-Beaded surface reflects the maximum of light without sparkling or glare. It reproduces all of the shades of colors faithfully. Ask your dealer for a comparison. You, too, will choose the Da-Lite Glass-Beaded Surface for your pictures. For CONVENIENCE You Will Prefer QUICKLY SET UP To set up the Da-Lite Challenger here is all that you have to do: 1. Open the legs of the tripod. 2. Swing the case to horizontal. 3. Lilt the Glass-Beaded Fabric from the case and hook it over the extension rod. 4. Raise the extension rod to operating position and start your show. SQUARE SIZES If you want to show Kodachrome double frame still pictures, ask for a Challenger in the square size. It can be adjusted to rectangular shape for showing movies. Twelve sizes (including square sizes) from 30"x40" to 70"x94" inclusive from $12.50 up. Prices slightly higher on Pacific Coast. (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) To simplify the showing of movies and still pictures, thousands of experienced photographers use the Da-Lite Challenger model. This complete unit, consisting of the Da-Lite Glass-Beaded Surface, springroller-mounted in a metal case, to which a tripod is permanently and pivotally attached, can be set up anywhere in 15 seconds. The Challenger is the only screen which can he adjusted in height merely by releasing a spring latch and raising the extension rod. No separate adjustments of the case. The screen can he quickly adjusted in height to meet the projection requirements of any sized audience. The Challenger is the only sereen with Square tubing in both the center rod of the tripod, and the extension support to keep the case aligned and the entire picture in perfect focus. The Challenger is durably built. The handle is mounted on a special bracket encompassing the case (as shown at lower left). It is not attached to the thin metal of the case. Ask your dealer to show you this modern tripod screen. It is one of many styles in the Da-Lite line — a line famous for quality for 31 years. Write for free literature now! DA-LITE SCREEN CO., Inc.
