ment field. It is only to be expected, then, that the great electrical organizations will take an ever increasing interest in the future of the industry. Organizations such as the American Telephone & Telegraph Company through its subsidiary the Western Electric Company, the General Electric Company, the Westinghouse Electric Company, and the Radio Corporation will further encourage the development of sound and will make available to the public the resources of their laboratories. In view of such resources the possibilities of motion picture entertainment may be said to have scarcely been scratched. Newer methods and revolutionary improvements will come in direct ratio to the scientific facilities applied to them. This should eventually mean the solution of other possible riddles, such as stereoscopics and the further development of natural colour. The possible future of the motion picture screen, with animation, sound, colour, third dimension, and screen magnification, gives unbounded play to the imagination. Eventually there will be such perfection along these lines that one entering a theatre and seeing such an exhibition for the first time will get the impression that he is actually seeing and hearing living people in action!
Already we have sound, colour photography, and the large screen. A film, double the width and one and one-half times the height of film in current use, has been developed by the Fox Film organization, and is known as "Grandeur Pictures." By this means an image may be extended throughout the proscenium opening. To bring the innovation to the public, it is true, will require important changes, involving a new camera and projector, as well as new screens. In production, the optical and photographic principles involve a new technique in construction, as well as lighting; but all of these have been perfected. For a number of years George K. Spoor has also fostered experi
