"The Motion Picture Theater, Planning and Upkeep" is a proud presentation of the SMPE, based on a project directed by James Frank, Jr., who also has written the Foreword. The book is attractively bound with a hard cover of green buckram. There are 428 pages, generously illustrated and distinctively designed with modern typography. This book was planned by a group of leading architects, engineers, and theater-circuit executives responsible for construction and maintenance. They felt that many theater owners now planning new construction or modernization had need for latest authentic information on the subject. They also felt that the Society of Motion Picture Engineers could and \v;is obligated to supply this information. Therefore, a wealth of data on numerous phases of theater design, construction/ and'upkeep has been assembled under eight major headings. The book is available at $5.00 per copy.
