New Cimerama Single-Lens Projection System Unveiled Cinerama, Inc. has developed a revolutionary new single-lens system for the exhibition of motion pictures in the Cinerama process, it has been announced by Nicolas Reisini, president and board chairman of the company. The new system was developed by the Cinerama Camera Corp., a whollyowned subsidiary of Cinerama, Inc., working in close conjunction with Tom Conroy. Cinerama's vice president in charge of production. The dramatic Cinerama effect, heretofore obtained only by the use of three projectors, can now be achieved by the use of a single projector. The system in effect consists of four interlocking elements the newly created lens, a special printer and associated optics, the single projector resulting from the Company's intensive research and development, and the famous and unique deeply curved Cinerama screen. The new system was demonstrated at a screening of selected footage of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," held at Cinerama's Hollywood Studio for reoresentatives of the press and the exhibition industry. The comedy spectacular, produced by Stanley Kramer in Panavision and Technicolor for United Artists Corp.. will have its world premiere on Nov. 7 in Hollywood at the new Cinerama Dome Theatre, built by Pacific Theatres Corp. Mr. Reisini, president of Cinerama, and Arthur Krim, president of United Artists, were present with Mr. Kramer and Mr. Conroy at the screening. Mr. Reisini commented: "The results which you have seen demonstrate the latest achievement in Cinerama exhibition. Cinerama's research and development has always been directed not only towards exhibition, but production as well. We are pleased to announce that in the earlv part of next year we will have ready an enually revolutionary Cinerama sinffle-lens camera and production system. It will then be possible for the first time for motion nictures to be produced and exhibited in a single-lens Cinerama system." Mr. ^'"mer explained how he had filmed the picture in Panavision and Technicolor, after which the 65mm. negative was printed into Cinerama proportions, so that it can be viewed on a cinerama arc of 146 degrees SINGLE LENS — Stanley Kramer (right), producer of the comedy spectacular, "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," joins two Cinerama executives in examining various lens components.

Thus, the special optical treatment adapted the film to the deeply curved wide-angle Cinerama screen.
