With "Hit Parade" With the showing of "The Hit Parade" as the opening vehicle, Ray Stsmbo,- manager of the Hollywood 1 theatre, announces the public Inauguration tonight of the revolutionary new RCA Victor sound reproducing system, the , Magic Voice of the screen which has been Installed in the last few days. Working In' the early hours of the xndrning so as not to inter fere with the regular showings, RCA Victor sound engineers have installed and tested the elabor ate new sound system and re ported it ready.- A new loud speaker system which insures uniform distribution of all sound frequencies to every part of the theatre, has been put in place behind the screen. The sound waves penetrate tiny perforations In the screen, which are invis ible from the auditorium and flow out from around the top and sides of the screen. In the projection booth a "High Fidel ity" soundhead has been incor porated into the picture projec tion system and powerful am plification racks installed.

The range at volume, too, has been improved so that the merest whisper of the wind in the grass, the thundering roar of a nlagara of sound, or the great crescendo of a symphony orchestra may be reproduced with equal fidelity. Tha development of the new Magic Voice of the screen sound system comes as the culmination of years of persistent research. This same group of engineers was responsible for most of the major advances in the phono graph, broadcasting and in ma rine and transoceanic commuqni catlons. ? With the Installation of this remarkable new sound apparatus in the Hollywood theatre, mo tion picture fans can enjoy sound of the same high stand ards as that In the two finest theatres in the world, the Cen ter theatre and Radio City Music hall, of Rockefeller Center.
