he expects to run daylight motlcn
pictures.
I.csllo Terwllllger, who has charge
of tho films and operation of the

Hint pictures can be run off with a
practically fully lighted -hoviso and
rIvo tho effect as well as It the audi

Tho basis of the scheme Is the set
ting of tho screen .In a deep pros
cenium, Just as a picture Is set Into a
deep frame. This frame, so to speak,
ta absolutely black, and makes a
heavy black border to contrast against
the light of the picture and throw the
likeness out vividly.
Mr, Houston says he wants to find
the happy medium so aa not to, have
Kbe house too light when the pictures
are being played on the screen, and
yet not too dark for people to pass
In and out. Hs says the Improve
ment will be especially noticeable to
those who patronise the show house
