having equipped his theatre or theatres to run 70mm prints." "' I here is," he said, "a difference r in the two projected pictures and there is also a difference in good projection and better projection. Main advantages are to be had in the installation of 70mm equipment for the indoor theatre such as magnetic sound reproduction which is considered the best and. too. he gets the benefit of the surround speakers. I here is also a big advantage for the drive-in theatres with their large screens and long throw. That advantage i? light, which is so badh needed in the drive-in theatre. The 70mm projectors will improve the projection not only in increased light but also with a sharper and steadier picture.'"

Ashcraft Manufacturing Co.'s Core-Lite Lamps in the Stanley Warner circuit s Logan Theatre here showed marked screen brightness gains, said Henry Eberle. the circuit's chief sound engineer. Philadelphia zone. The new lamps were installed by the Stanle\ \^ arner Service Dept.. and are being sold throughout the countrv 1>\ National Theatre Supplv Co. Eberle said readings indicated an average increase of 20' « more light on the theatre's 16.!! ft. by 38 ft. screen. A gain of 35% in side lighting was recorded. In addition to the increased screen brightness, Eberle said the lamps cost less to operate than the ones that were removed. He said carbon consumption records kept by Logan projectionist William Singer I 1ATSE Local 307). show a 2595 savings on carbon costs, despite the fact that the Core Lite uses larger carbons than the Super Powers, which were removed. The Core-Lites are being operated on 80 amperes of current supplied In motor generator. Carbon trims used are 11mm x 17'L." positive rotating and ."> 16x0" negative, and have \ ielded an operating cost-per-hour figure of 26c. This compares to a 34c cost-per-hour figure for the old lamps. Suggested current range for the Core-Lite is 75 to 110 amperes. Eberle said the <>0 ampere operating level had proven highlv satisfactory for the Logan's requirements. I he theatre is equipped with Simplex projectors using Kollmorgan 1.5" back-up lenses and Kollmorgan F 1.9's up front for CinemaScope. Bausch \ Lomb E 1.8's are used for standard 35mm presentations. Screen brightness increases cited apply to the C-Scope setup. Eberle said the Core-Lites met all the claims of Ashcraft and NTS. and were well suited for a medium-sized theatre such as the Logan. Ashcraft attributes the absence of brown and blue rays with Core-Lite to the lamps ability to completely cover the aperture with pure white light only. Magnification of the carbon core makes possible the high percentage of white light distribution and the elimination of brown, yellow, and red rays of the hard rim or shell of the carbon. iP PROJECTIONISTS PREFER ETHYLOID Film Cement For BEST RESULTS Available from Supply dealers FISHER MFG.
