MONSTER SCREEN AT
METHODIST CENTENARY
Special Lantern Devised For
Throwing; Pictures. !.

Finishing details are being placed
on the arrangements for the erection
of the largest screen for the projec-
ton of pictures ever built in the
world. This is to be one of the fea-
lures of the Methodist Centenary Gel
ebration, to be held in Columbus,
June 20 to July 10.
This monster screen viii have a
surface for pictures 115x115 feet. The
actual structure will be several feet.
larger in each direction. A special
lantern has been successfully devised
for throwing these tremendous pic
lures the necessary distance. The
screen will be $50 feet from the near.
est spectator and will be built to
Withstand 40 pounds pressure to the
square foot. The lantern which will
project these pictures has already
successfully thrown pictures on a
screen in New York City across q
distance of four and half city
blocks. According to Architect Harry
G. Holbrook, the screen will be, in
effect, three sides of a house. 1t is
necessary to give it the foundations
equivalent to four-story building.
In order that there may be as much
salvage as possible after the screen
has served it's purpose, the picture
face will be of fitted lumber, which
later will be treated with a white
surface preparation.
The estimated cost of this screen
will be $4,000. The screen and the
lantern will be used in showing the
tens of thousands Of views, made all
over the world by the Methodist
Missionary Survey, which has the
