New Screen Techniques This book on "New Screen Techniques" deals primarily with three powerful new methods under commercial development in 195 3 by the motion picture industry. They are three-dimensional or stereoscopic pictures; wide screen pictures and stereophonic sound, the distribution and location of which sound are both controlled. It is interesting to note that these new methods are old in their origin and were thoroughly understood, in the main, decades ago. However, these methods have only recently been rather violently "sparked" into vigorous life by commendable pioneering demonstrations offered to the public. These new methods cannot be expoited by adherences to old methods which were applicable to two-dimensional pictures, smaller pictures, or concentrated sources of sound. Similarly, these new art forms, if they are to reach their fruition and general acceptance, must be worked out correctly in detail and then broadly crystallized in their practices. An ever-present danger in a new and rapidly changing art is a flood of wild rumors, half-truths, and undependable and sweeping statements. These should be avoided. In their place there should be a factual, judicial, and impartial presentation of all sides of the case. Certainly this present book meets the needs of those desiring such a presentation. — Front the Preface by Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith $4.50
