TECHNIC 







i 


President’s M^sage 

By DR. HERBERT T. KALMUS 


PRICE REDUCTION MADE BY TECHNICOLOR 
To Save Industry About $1,800,000 Annually 

A price reduction which will give the American motion picture industry savings 
at the rate of approximately $1,800,000 annually was announced on August 13, 
1953, by Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus, President and General Manager of Technicolor Mo- 
tion Picture Corporation. 


The price reduction amounts to .35c 
(three and one-half tenths of a cent) per 
foot on all 35-millimeter dye transfer 
motion picture release prints made by 
TECHNICOLOR, and delivered from its 
Hollywood plant. It affects the major 
portion of TECHNICOLOR'S 35-millimeter 
release print production. This reduction 
makes the base price on such prints 
4.98c per foot, as compared to the pre- 
vious price of 5.33c per foot. The price 
reduction is retroactive to August 1, 
1953, and applies to release prints de- 
livered on and after that date. 

This price reduction was made volun- 
tarily by TECHNICOLOR, and comes in a 
period of generally rising prices. In view 
of current industry conditions — particu- 
larly the failure of the motion picture in- 
dustry to obtain theater admission tax 
relief — the present price reduction an- 
nounced by TECHNICOLOR should be 
most timely. 

In a letter sent by Dr. Kalmus to cus- 
tomers he said, in part: 

“We are pleased to announce a re- 
duction of ,35c per foot in the price of 
all 35mm Release Prints, including the 
leader footage, made by our Dye Trans- 


fer (Imbibition) process and furnished 
from our plant in Hollywood, California. 
The reduction will be retroactive to Au- 
gust 1, 1953, and will apply to all such 
prints delivered on and after that date. 

“Based on our present volume of busi- 
ness, this reduction is at the rate of total 
savings to our customers of approxi- 
mately $1,800,000 a year, and repre- 
sents a continuation of our policy of 
lowering prices from time to time as we 
find conditions make it possible." 

Technicolor, Inc.Earnings 
First Nine Months of 1953 

The consolidated net profit after taxes 
on income of Technicolor, Inc., for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1953, 
is estimated to be $2,121,518, equiva- 
lent to $1.10 per share on the new stock 
outstanding, as compared to $1,499,507, 
or 80 cents per share (shares adjusted to 
new stock basis), for the first nine months 
of 1952, according to Dr. Herbert T. 
Kalmus, President and General Manager. 


I am repeat- 
edly asked 
what will be 
the effect on 
TECHNICOLOR 
business of the 
various new 
processes of 
ph otography, 
la b o r a t o r y 
work and exhi- 
bition. 

The ways for 
the public to 
dr. kalmus spend its 

amusement dollar including radio and 
television have become more numerous 
and more competitive in recent years, 
and consequently as a general proposi- 
tion you might expect less money to be 
available for any one of them, such as 
the motion picture theatre. 

The motion picture industry is meet- 
ing these challenges by presenting bet- 
ter motion pictures to the public and in 
more attractive form. CinemaScope, Cin- 
erama, 3-D and Todd-American Optical 
are attempts in this direction. TECHNI- 
COLOR is in the midst of it all. 

We number among our customers prac- 
tically every important producer in Hol- 
lywood, and we are working with most 
of them on one or another of these 
processes. 

In connection with this work a very 
important recent development has ema- 
nated from the research, technical and 
engineering departments of TECHNICOL- 
OR. This development permits the pro- 
ducer now to have his choice of using 
the special TECHNICOLOR three-strip 
cameras, or single-strip color negative 
such as Eastman color negative or Ansco 
color negative through any black and 
white motion picture camera, and from 
the negative of whichever one of these 
he chooses, having his prints made by 
TECHNICOLOR using the standard TECH- 
NICOLOR dye transfer process or by 
TECHNICOLOR using color positive such 
as Eastman color positive or Ansco color 
positive. That is added flexibility for the 
producer. 

It is apparent that producers generally 
feel that color is more important than 
ever with the new screen techniques. I 
believe that the motion picture industry 
is on the threshold of a new era in which 
Color by TECHNICOLOR will have an in- 
creasingly important place. 


Critics Hail "Robe’s" 
Color by Technicolor 

Press and public praise of an un- 
precedented nature greeted 20th Century- 
Fox's first CinemaScope picture, “The 
Robe," in Color by TECHNICOLOR, at its 
New York and Hollywood openings. 

As we go to press, the critical com- 
ment includes the following: 

“A new era in motion picture history 
began last night on the Roxy Theatre 
magic mirror screen when 20th Century- 
Fox unveiled its long awaited Technicolor 
production of 'The Robe' in the new 
process known as CinemaScope." — Kate 
Cameron in The New York Daily News. 

Sherwin Kane in Motion Picture Daily 
reported that “Images were clear and 
well-lighted, without fuzziness at edges." 
The Color by TECHNICOLOR, he said, 
“was rich-hued and deep, and illusions 
of depth were numerous." 

Color by TECHNICOLOR and stereo- 
phonic sound “added enormously to the 
illusion," in the opinion of Philip K. 
Scheurer of The Los Angeles Times. 


Technicolor Credit 
Phrases Explained 

Technicolor has received a number of 
requests from exhibitors and others for 
clarification of the credits “Color by 
TECHNICOLOR" and “Print by TECHNI- 
COLOR." 

“Color by TECHNICOLOR" is a credit 
phrase used for motion pictures in color 
which have been controlled through all 
stages from the original negative or 
“taking" film supplied or developed by 
the Technicolor companies to the positive

EXHIBITORS, ATTENTION! This full-page color portrait of beautiful ARLENE DAHL is the ninth in a series of such portraits suitable for framing for 
your theatre lobby, of motion picture stars who have added luster to films in Color by TECHNICOLOR, and so have won a place in the TECHNICOLOR 
HALL OF FAME. Miss Dahl is currently appearing in "Sangaree," a Pine-Thomas production in Color by TECHNICOLOR, released by Paramount. 











“THIS IS CINERAMA" — Cinerama 


CINERAMA uses three strips of film projected simultaneously by three synchronized pro- 
jectors set at 48° angles to each other. The three images form a continuous panoramic 
scene on a screen covering a field of vision 146° wide and 55 high — over 4 V 2 times 
as large as the conventional screen. To keep a line from appearing where the three im- 
ages meet, tiny comblike bits of steel in each projector at the side of the film track, 
vibrate up and down to blend the edges of the film image. 


The motion picture industry in the United States is now at a 
third point in its evolution — three-dimensional and wide screen 
pictures. 

The two outstanding points of evolution in the past develop- 
ment of the motion picture form of entertainment were the advent 
of sound and of color. 

The current phase of evolution affects photography, labora- 
tory procedure, prints and theatre projection. 

The interest occasioned has been heightened by the fact that, 
broadly speaking, three different techniques came almost simul- 
taneously. 

These may be summarized as: 

(1) Cinerama, Wide Angle, or Peripheral Vision 

This is evidenced by the production “This Is Cinerama" 
which created a furore in New York City. It has been playing 
there for months with no apparent abatement, and is being shown 
in other cities. In the ordinary motion picture theatre the audience 
is looking at the picture usually on a screen about 24 feet in 
width. With the Cinerama production, the picture is projected on 
a screen about three times as wide and one and one-half times 
as high as the ordinary picture and the audience feels as if it 
were in the picture instead of looking at it. Cinerama employs 
three cameras for photography, three projectors and a large 
curved screen in the theatre. 

(2) CinemaScope 

Another procedure for bringing about wide angle vision 


is being sponsored by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation 
and is called “CinemaScope." In this method of presentation the 
effect is also that of wide angle vision which, however, is brought 
about in a manner entirely different from Cinerama. Instead of 
employing three cameras and three projectors it employs one 
camera with a specially designed optical attachment for the lens 
and employs one projector in the theatre again with a specially 
designed optical attachment. The angle of vision of the audience 
may be intermediate between that of the normal flat motion pic- 
ture screen and Cinerama. CinemaScope employs a large curved 
screen in the theatre in place of the present relatively small flat 
screen. The first Cinemascope picture to be released was “The 
Robe," by 20th Century-Fox, whose forthcoming pictures in this 
medium include “How to Marry a Millionaire" and “Beneath the 
12-Mile Reef." Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has produced “Knights of 
the Round Table" and “Rose Marie" for CinemaScope presentation. 

(3) Three-Dimensional or Stereoscopic Pictures 

Working out and perfecting the equipment and operation 
required by Cinerama and CinemaScope to operate in the theatres 
on an international scale may take many months. Meanwhile, 
processes have appeared which are not similar to either Cinerama 
or CinemaScope. These processes are stereoscopic, that is, three- 
dimensional, in the sense that human vision is three-dimensional 
due to the separation of the two eyes. A number of pictures of 
this type are being exhibited, such as “Second Chance" (RKO). An 
example of three-dimensional pictures emanated from Great 
Britain under the name of Stereo-Techniques, Ltd. and which with 




“THE ROBE"— 20th Century-Fox 


CINEMASCOPE uses only one strip of film. Scenes are pho- 
tographed with an anamorphoscopic wide-view lens in 
front of the regular camera lens. This compresses the im- 
age within the full aperture of 35mm film. In projection, 
another anamorphoscopic placed before the projector lens 
expands the compressed image to a screen over two and 
a half times as large as the conventional screen.

mat and Wide Screen Motion Pictures 



“FORT Tl" — Columbia 


Currently, professional THREE-DIMENSIONAL films may be 
photographed on two strips of film with two cameras set 
for proper convergence and inter-ocular distance. In view- 
ing, left and right images are projected through light polar- 
izing filters onto a special metallic screen. The audience 
must wear special light polarizing viewing glasses to ob- 
serve the illusion of depth on the screen. 




the help and cooperation of Technicolor Motion Picture Corpora- 
tion's British affiliate. Technicolor Limited, photographed the 
stereoscopic film "Royal River" in Color by TECHNICOLOR for the 
Festival of Britain. 

As yet there has been no process yielding three-dimensional 
pictures which does not require the audience to wear glasses or 
attachments of some sort. 

There are a number of variations in the wide screen field. All 
the major studios are now using screens in this category. 

TECHNICOLOR is cooperating with most of the new processes, 
in the interests of the motion picture industry, through the means 
of any device which will enhance the entertainment value or 
lower the cost of screen presentation entertainment. 

TECHNICOLOR was especially well equipped to deal with the 
changes indicated by the new processes. The company has always 
strongly believed in operating a vigorous and growing research 
department, and is in an improved position to give the motion 
picture industry the laboratory service and prints it requires.. 

TECHNICOLOR has evolved a three-dimensional camera system 
of its own, using two of its regular three-strip cameras with a 
connecting optical system. The first picture thus photographed is 
"Money from Home," a Hal Wallis production for Paramount. 

At all points i.n its evolution the motion picture industry has 
aimed at increasing the entertainment value of its product. 

It is expected that the coming of the new techniques will 
bring appreciably nearer the day of the all-color screen. 

In the pioneer days of motion picture photography in color. 


the goal of perfected color on the screen seemed very far. It took 
years of research and development, of methods tried and found 
wanting, of subsquent procedures that proved successful, to 
bring present-day Color by TECHNICOLOR to the screen. 

Before color had really succeeded on the screen, the motion 
picture industry underwent the great change of replacing the 
silent film with sound. In all the great evolution periods of the 
industry, TECHNICOLOR has been exceptionally equipped, by long 
experience and scientific study, to meet the needs of the cine- 
matic art. 

Today, as a recession from sound is unthinkable, so is it cer- 
tain that increased emphasis will be placed on the use of color. 

Cinerama has signed a contract with TECHNICOLOR for the use 
of Color by TECHNICOLOR in its productions. Twentieth Century- 
Fox has announced that all of its CinemaScope pictures will be 
produced with Color by TECHNICOLOR. 

At the present writing it is still too early to forecast with any 
degree of accuracy what definite course the screen's evolution 
will take . . . whether one idea or process will dominate or if 
various techniques will function concurrently. 

It may be predicted, however, that whichever course or courses 
screen development may take, TECHNICOLOR will be in the position 
it now occupies — the soundest guarantee of box office attraction. 

The progress of the cinematic art naturally includes an in- 
creased movement toward the use of color. The advent of the new 
wide angle and/or three-dimensional processes should mean an 
increasing demand for the services and products of TECHNICOLOR. 



“THUNDER BAY" — Univ.-lnt'l 


A typical example of the new wide screens is that of Uni- 
versal-International. This utilizes only one strip of standard 
film, and the projectors use a wide angle lens to spread the 
normal film image to the wide angle screen. The curved 
screen is treated to give greater light magnification.
