Ideas Aired At TEDA/TE5MA Ccnfmjiut FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. — The Theatre Equipment Dealers Association and Theatre Equipment and Supply Manufacturers Asso¬ ciation conference here can have far reaching effects if recommendations are followed by exhibitors and the Associations themselves. The four-day conference gave manufac¬ turers the opportunity to show their equip¬ ment to supply dealers and personally discuss improvements and technical details. In his kick-off address (see last week’s issue), Sherrill Corwin, NATO president, urged the dealers and manufacturers to in¬ itiate new ideas in technical advancement U create the theatre of the 21st century. Stating that the trend to the smaller 500— 1200 seat theatre of today lends itself to an automated operation, Corwin said it would be a great step forward for exhibition and urged serious consideration of development of an automated system by the dealers and manu¬ facturers. G. Carlton Hunt, president of the Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers, stressed the necessity of a theatre standards manual and requested all segments of the in¬ dustry to cooperate. He also asked exhibition to keep abreast of technical improvements and to rejuvenate their theatres and bring back some of the glamour and showmanship that has been lost. Larry Davee, president of Century Projec¬ tor Corp., while stating that multi-dimensional films will write the next era in entertainment, warned against another fiasco like the last 3-D cycle. The conference was also addressed by A1 Boudouris, president of Eprad; Glenn Berggren of Kollmorgen; S. L. Kontos and John Currie, respective presidents of Theatre Equip¬ ment Dealers Association and Theatre Equip¬ ment and Supply Manufacturers Association; Frank Riffle of Carbons, Inc.; and Jack Servies, president of National Theatre Supply Com¬ pany. Plans were announced to hold the next con¬ ference in Las Vegas. Five executives who appeared at the TEDA/TESMA Conference ceremonies: (l-r) Robert K.
