314 JOHN K. HILLIARD improvement and a distinct step forward in the quality which can be obtained in sound reproduction. Experimental use over several months has indicated that under conditions varying from Carnegie Hall broadcasts to stage, motion picture, and television, obvious improvements in sound quality have been attained. NOTE: In addition to the paper, a demonstration at the Academy Award Theatre of various types of recording, which included main title, background, combination of orchestra and solo channels, was presented. It was derived from material made by Mr. Alfred Newman of the Music Department at 20th Century-Fox Studios and the co-operation of their Sound Department. REFERENCES (1) Amos E.
