o The Hollywood Scene By VERV0N SC0TT tnited Press Writer ion Hollywood 'I? A brand new motion picture process, modest lv "amd "Cinemiracle." was unveiled this week. It's a C i nerama like gimmick that over whelms audi ences with sheer bigness. C inemiracle provides more three - dimen- Ternon Scott sional effect than Toda-AO, VisitaVision or Cinema-Scope, and improves some of the technical facets of Cinerama. A three-camera process requir ing a trio of projectors and spe cial sound equipment, Cinemira cle is the best of big screen ef forts to date. Demonstration of the jumbo process was presented in the Mel rose Theater, a defunct popcorn palace which folded when tele vision stomped onto the scene. No Repetition, He Hopes In a speech preceding the show ing, Elmer C. Rhoden, president of National Theaters, Inc., look ed around the shabby theater and said, "We hope that Cinemiracle can prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future." As developer of the new meth od Rhoden claims his machine affords wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling viewing for the first time in movie history. "The screen can go as high and wide as a theater allows," he told the Hollywood press corps. "There's no fixed ratio of height to width." The experimental screen in Hollywood is 24 feet high, 63 feet wide. A demonstration screen in New York is 34 by 81 feet and 16 feet deep. Projec tion covers a field of 146 degrees wide and 55 degrees high ap proximately that of human vi sion, which is 160-60 degrees. Viewers "In" Picture Cinemiracle gives a clear pic ture from any vantage in the theater no blurring or distor tion. Viewers really feel "in" the picture, a discomfitting phen omenon at times. Test films included hair-raising rides up and down San Fran cisco's hilly streets, a wild trip through Philadelphia on a hook and ladder fire truck and a crash dive via submarine. Whenever the camera plunges unexpected ly it takes the viewer's stomach with it. "Falling attendance and busi ness setbacks in motion pictures resulted from not putting enough money back into research," Rho den says. "When we sent letters to producers explaining our new development only Jack Warner gave us any encouragement." Because of his interest Warn ers will film the. second feature using Cinemiracle. It is fittingly titled "The Miracle." The first picture is Louis de Rochemont's " Cinemeracle Ad venture," a travelogue epic film ed around the voyage of a Nor weigian windjammer and her crew, scheduled for release next March. So optimism again flows in the jaundiced veins of movietown, but the big-wigs are reminded that a good movie with top stars will make money no matter what size the screen. French Newspapers Criticize Pineau Paris HP) French news papers scored Foreign Minister Christian Pineau today and said France came out on the short end in his talks with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Three top-circulation dailies. "Le Figaro," "Parisien Libere" and "L'Aurore," all normally pro American, said the results of the Washington conference were "slim" and "disappoint ing." The leftwing "Combat" and the Socialist "Paris Journal" ruefully described the agree ments reached as "limited" and of "relative success." Before he left here earlier this week Pineau said that no matter how successful his talks with Dulles turned out they could not soothe French public anger over U. S. and British shipments of arms to Tunisia. The government's position in the dispute will be outlined next week. The National Assembly's Foreign Affairs committee has asked Premier Felix Gaillard to appear before it then and give his views on the situation. In London, British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and Conservative members of Parlia ment met in a secret session Wednesday night to discuss the arms to Tunisia dispute.
