Thanks CC for the cool stereophonic ad. I wonder how big the screen was for Shane at ‘Fox Grauman’s Chinese Hollywood’ with a blow lens? A few months later they put in a semi curved 20th Century Fox CinemaScope® screen with 4 track mag stereo sound. I wonder if ‘Shane’ had surround sound or just split speakers on the stage?
Terry, a news item in the June 6th, 1953 issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that the new screen used for “Shane” at Grauman’s Chinese was 50 feet wide by 30 feet high, and typical of those being installed in 221 cinemas operated by the National Theatres chain in 19 states.
