a theater-size screen for an auditorium seating 500. The projector must be located behind the spectator as illustrated in the upper half of Fig. 10. When projecting a very short distance, the screen should be tilted forward about 5°. The lower half of Fig. 10 illustrates the projection of stereo-pairs from a single film by the use of beam-splitter P mounted on the front of the projector lens. The vision zones Zl, Z2 and Z3 are the same as shown in Fig. 9. We will not attempt to discuss the various types of beam-splitters and lenses used in taking and projecting 16mm and 35mm motion picture stereopairs. This is a specialized technical subject that requires individual treatment. There is a great interest in color stereo motion pictures. They have a definite application in the fields of education, industry and science. Everywhere three-dimensional color motion pictures have been exhibited, they have had a tremendous audience appeal.
