out. A quick turn of the switch puts the standby lamp in position and gives instant operation. A new base-up lamp is used to give greater precision of filament location and better light maintenance throughout the life of the lamp. The sound optics in the new projector are of new design to insure improved signal-to-noise ratio. A two-stage preamplifier is integral with the photo-cell and feeds into a separate main amplifier. The amplifier system and speaker are manufactured by Altec-Lansing. Flutter is reduced to 0.2% rms.; intermodulation distortion to 5%. The controls for the projector are simple and are located in a well-lighted panel built into the pedestal. Besides the usual tone and volume controls, a switch provides for phonograph or microphone input. A 4-position power switch serves the projection mechanism. Two knobs on the outside of the projection head provide for easy focusing and framing. A 603B Altec speaker is standard equipment for small audiences; an Altec 800 for larger groups. Theater Divorcement Order in Anti-Trust Suit Entered FINAL judgement in the anti-trust suit against motion picture producer-distributor-exhibitor companies has been handed down by the U. S. District Court in New York City. Loew's, Inc., Warner Brothers, and 20th Century-Fox must submit within six months a plan for the divestiture of their theater holdings, and the entire job of divorcement must be completed within three years. Following are those portions of the court's decision which are of particular interest to the theater field: 1. Within six months, 20th CenturyFox, Warner Bros, and Loew's, Inc., shall submit a plan for ultimate separation of their distribution and production business from their exhibition business, with final divorcement to become effective on Feb. 8, 1953 — three years from the day the decree was entered. Distribution-Exhibition Ban 2. Within one year, the defendants and the Department of Justice shall submit a list of theatres which must be divested to satisfy requirements of the Supreme Court. 3. No distributing company resulting from the divorcement may engage in exhibition of pictures and no exhibition company created through divorcement may engage in film distribution except on permission granted by the court, upon a showing that "such engagement shall not restrain competition in the distribution or exhibition of motion pictures."
