Book Reviews Part Two— THEATRE MANAGEMENT — is of special interest to theater executives. j As in Part One, all forms of management problems including programming, I exploitation, accounting, acoustics, air conditioning, and theater design are thoroughly discussed by authorities in their particular field. Part Three— RECENT THEATRE DEVELOPMENTS — brings information on three new projects that have recently come before the industry, namely, Drive-ins, Television, and Stereophonic Sound. Detailed plans, including approximate qosts, are given for building and equipping a modern Drive-in Theater. The article on Theater Television, while basic in form, covers the essentials of transmission and reception. Several misconceptions are cleared up and a practical system of theater television equipment is presented. Excellent quality reproductions of photographs, diagrams, and cartoons on nearly every page brighten the book considerably. This book should be of the greatest interest to every theater owner, executive, and projectionist and as a manual should be in every theater in the country. WILLIAM K.
