CinemaScope Installation 1956

The ‘Australian Exhibitor’, Thursday January 19, 1956, describe under the heading ‘Sound and Sight are Indissolubly Wedded’. Len Brennan, Chairman of Directors of Tudor Theatres P/L introduced his company’s changeover to CinemaScope, as originally intended, with 4 track magnetic stereophonic sound at Gosford on Monday 9th January with 20th Century Fox’s ‘Love Is A Many Splendored Thing’.

4 Track Magnetic sound *

The introduction of magnetic stereophonic sound has caused more comment than the original opening with CinemaScope. The effects speakers not only surround the theatre walls but a number are also installed in the ceiling at selected positions.

Huge CinemaScope screen *

The screen at the Gosford Regal is 46 feet wide x 20 feet high. There is a curve of 18 inches in the 46 feet wall-to-wall screen and only 56-58 amps is required to light it instead of the normal 70-80 amps, which Brennan attributes to the reflectivity of the Miracle Mirror screen. The distance between walls is 50 feet 6 inches.

Curved Curtain Track *

The main curtains drape into the walls and the result of some clever planning and construction of a specially designed curving curtain track - Contributed by Greg Lynch -
