Closer investigation however showed it to be a Sample piece of the new Fibre Glass motion picture screen which bids fair to Start a minor revolution in motion picture houses in the City. Before Long if the stuff lives up to its behaviour pattern to Date Winnipeg theatres will be throwing out their old screens and installing the new product. It looks like a humdinger to me. The new screen is a seamless weaving of pure White Fibre Glass yarn which is said to reflect 100 per cent of the projected Light reproduce faithfully All of the inter mediate tones in Black and White films and add tremendously to the dimensional qualities of technicolor. All this and a tremendous improvement in tonal Quality in the earliest clays of the movies u hapless individual who got caught in the toils of the innovation pounced into the bedroom and purloined one of his wife s sheets.

The Sheet or the White painted Wall was used in Many a theatre until the late 1920 s when sound hit the screens with a horrible bang. You can t filter sound through a Concrete Wall. A loosely knit fabric proved satisfactory but not Ideal. Then somebody came up with the Bright idea of a rubber Sheet perforated with tiny holes. These Are the screens most in use today and if you walked up to them you d be surprised to see just How much of them was just air Hole s. They lost efficiency this had its disadvantages. The thousands of holes meant that the Light arcs in the movie projectors lost about 25 per cent of their efficiency. Not Only this but there were tonal disadvantages in re producing the voices of your screen favourites through what amounted to a giant Strainer. The of the new screen comes from Loew s theatres a company which has movie Bouses All Over the United states and part of Canada. The company Felt for years that something should be done to improve screens and started to work with Industrial scientists. The Fibre Glass screen is the result. Each screen Loew s tells me is composed of individual threads of pure White Glass. The firm also informs me with a degree of cynicism which i suspect Lias a note of Wishful thinking that a critic or movie manager could hang himself with Only three of the strands so great their tensile strength. This snide Little romark i choose to ignore for i m too healthy and Happy at the moment to do away with myself. Soot dust smoke housewives will be interested in another advantage of the Glass screen. The old Type of screen suffered from atmospheric conditions. Soot dust and smoke collected on it and the Only solution was repainting it twice annually a chore which any self respecting housekeeper would View with Dis taste. The Glass screen being of non absorbent material needs Only a simple washing each seven or eight months. Pat my wife when i took the Sample bit of screen Home had an eager Light in her Eye and i think she had visions of my being Able to get a few Yards of the stuff it wholesale rates and have it fashioned into drapes. Imagine she said the chore of taking drapes Down and washing them being re moved from her duties. All she d need to do was to wipe them Over once in a. While to remove the smoke which had collected from the collective cigarettes of people who gather in our living room to listen to phonograph music or chatter. She is doomed to disappointment qty information is that the larges Oom in the world was constructed at Albany new York to weave the seamless screens in widths up to 24 feet. However it is still impossible to produce More than two teens weekly. Well some Day in the future be viewing your movies on screens and i would t be a bit surprised if the stuff would be available for drapes and Chester Fields.
