SOUND SYSTEM
THE FINEST
Feature Altec Lancin g S
''Voice of the Theatre"
Loudspeaker
FOUR STAR SYSTEM

The same fine engineering re.
search and craftsmanship which
made the Simplex Projectors the
"eyes of the show" the world over
have created the Simplex Sound
Mechanism to be the "ears of the
show"-enabling theatre patrons
to enjoy the perfect blend of sight
and sound.
In designing the sound mechan-
ism-the Simplex Four Star Sound
System-the engineers have en-
ployed the most advanced develop
ments of modern acoustical re-
search and sound reproduction.
Since it was first introduced in
1928, this Four Star System has
become world famous. AS a re-
suit of its many De Luxe features,
it is the natural choice of leading
theatres everywhere. Many of its
De Luxe features have been dupli-
Gated and accepted as standard by
other manufacturers. If and when
push-pull or stereophonic record
ings and reproduction are univers-
ally accepted, this system will not
be obsolete. -
The system consists of four
major parts: ~ the sound mech
anism which converts light waves
from the film sound track to elec-
trical waves; (2) the amplifying
equipment which amplifies these
waves to an intensity to properly
actuate the loudspeakers; (3) the
loud-speaker equipment which con-
verts the greatly amplified cleo
trical waves to sound waves and
directs them to the theatre audi
torium.
The heart of the sound system is
the Sound Mechanism which is
equipped with a Rotary Stabilizer
feature insuring uniform film mo-
tion essential to perfect sound re-
production. 1t is also designed for
easy installation and maintenance
and incorporates a pre-heated ex-
otter lamp which guarantees in
stantaneous sound changeover and
a vertical photo electric cell easily
adaptable to stereophonic and
push-pull recordings if this form
of sound reproduction is universal
ly accepted.
The amplifying equipment found
lin the projection booth consists of
Smyrna times., 1948-04-01

two volume control amplifiers To-
Gated conveniently at each pro-
jector for easy control of sound vol
ume and carries electronic sound
"changeover", making it possible
to instantaneously and noiselessly
change over sound from one pro-
jector to the other with no inter-
ruption to the theatre audience
and eliminating controls in the
speech circuit. The power ampli-
fiers are designed to provide am
pie power and volume range nec-
essary to achieve a quality of
sound which mirrors" the origin
al.
The Altec Lansing "Voice of the
Theatre, located backstage be-
hind the screen picks up the sound
from the amplifiers and distributes
it out over the theatre to the audi
ence. 1t may be adjusted to min
imize reflection of sound waves
from walls and ceiling, thereby,
improving the sound.
According to the manufacturers
of the Simplex Sound System, they
were the first to introduce a sound
system which most nearly ap-
proaches the requirements recon-
mended by the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences in Hol-
lywood; permanent magnet speak
er units for greater dependability
and economy for the theatre; am
plifier cabinets that open like
drawer, permitting easy servicing;
sound system built for the fu-
ture to take care of possible push
pull or stereophonic recordings
when this system is introduced; a
sound system which provides the
snnalN theatres with the same de
luxe equipment as the largest the
atres with no compromise in quail
ity; a sound mechanism designed
for simple mounting with project
or mechanism; a sound reproduc-
ing system employing inverse feed
back circuit permitting easy varia-
tion of sound without loss of pow
er and best results under a wide
range of acoustic conditions; vol
rt1ne control amplifiers designed to
use of electronic
changeover which performs its
function noiselessly.
All these sound features combin-
ed are certain to afford patrons of
the Smyrna" chance to sit back,
relax, and enjoy the show without
a word that is said on the
screen. 1t is this-the giving to
the Smyran patrons the very best
in entertainment through top
notch facilities and equipment -
that will make the Smyrna"
must on everyone's list in this
area. a

The United Nations, after months of eas,-West deba e, voted today to urn the atomic energy dispute ovec to the Big Five powers and Canada for another try for agree ment on basic principles.
 Since Russia is one of the Big Five and has steadfastly opposed = rOl Ideas of the United Sta es- the only nation known to have the bomb-there was little hope for an accord there. The vote, taken in the political committee, was Al
 6. With Russia and her satel-
 .tes opposing.
 A Soviet plan to outlaw the atomic bomb and set up at the same time an atomic energy con- trol agency was defeated 39 to 6. Basically, the Russians refuse to allow any international agency to check in the Soviet Union, now or later, on whether Russia is pro- ducing atomic weapons.
 Something like civil war broke out in Southern Korea, where a new government has been spon- sored by the United States in for mer Japanese territory. Rebellious troops, which the home minister said were inspired by communists, seized two towns and killed or captured 100 policemen. Martial law was declared. The rebel force may number 4,000 men and is growing.
 The Moscow radio asserted Sov- jet troops are leaving northern Korea which the communists now dominate. The broadcast said a North Korean spokesman thank ed the Soviet army and its leader Stalin, who defeated the Japanese imperialists and brought Korea freedom and independence"
 Russia entered the Pacific war when Japan already was deefated and virtually on her knees after two of her cities had been ripped by atom bombs delivered by U. s. planes.
 The Russians, who have trained and armed 100000 men in north ern Korea, have insisted that the U. s. abandon South Korea. The U. s. has said "No."
 The United Nations said that, despite the security council order for peace in the Negev Desert of Southern Palestine, fighting con- tinueS. Heavy bombardments were reported on both sides.
 U. N. observers said Israeli planes raided the Palestine caiptal of Gaza five times during the night and dropped at least 67 bombs. Three Jewish Corvettes were declared to have shelled Majdal during the night and de- Stroyed a hospital. The cease fire order reached Tel Aviv, which re- ported fighting was dwlindling.
 The Berlin blockade issue goes back before the security council Friday. The U. S., Britain and France which accused Russia of endangering peace looked hopeful ly at the six neutral powers for resolution asking an end of the blockade. A Russian veto can be but the record will be made. The Russians are tightening the blockade and ignoring the is

.Magaziner Gives
Violin Recital at
Phillips Gallery
By Eleno de Soyn

The rainstorm at the hour of
Elliot Magaziner's violin recital. or
the change to daylight savings time,
may have been responsible for the
small turnout in the Phillips Gallery
afternoon. Yet the artists
playing warranted a better attend
ance.
A sonata by Handel for an open
ing number has been a favorite with
violinists for at least half a century.
especially with those who have a
broad and sympathetic tone as has
Mr.. Magaziner. He chose one in e
Major" which did not fail to en-
phasize his prediction for the can
tilena. That he has also technique
equal to all demands was demon
strated further in Wieniawski's first

ia in D Major" and Bakaleinikoff' S
catchy unaccompanied "Scherzo."
A liberal use Of cliches, invented
and used by violinists-composers be-
fore Wieniawski's time does not
make his concerto very original.
There is more of Vieuxtemps than
Wieniawski in it, chiefly reflected in
the type of melodies some times
neither beautiful nor sincere. The
middle movement, played on the G
string, lacks by far the expressive
ness of the popular "Romanza" of
his familiar Concerto No. o. while
the last part is wanting in the
spontaneity of "A la Zingara" in the
same concerto. However, Mr.. Maya
liner deserves credit for bringing out
less familiar music, even If it is out
moded.
His reading of Prokofleff's sonata,
Evening star., 1948-05-03

in collaboration with Lucy Brown at
the piano, was of high order. Had
the artists paid more attention to
nuance and had Mr.. Magaziner a
better violin at his disposal than the
one he used yesterday, his perform
ance in this and other instances
could have been more varied in
in color and richer in suntler
effects. Typically Prokofieff, the
sonata is smooth piece of writing
with its themes, especially that of
the first movement, returning at
intervals with some new effect. A
fanciful scherzo and a delightful
finale, reminiscent of the composers
clever creation, Peter and the Wolf"

McGRATH PROTESTS LAND WITHDRAWAL

The townspeople of McGrath have banded together and drawn up a protest to the withdrawal of all lands surrounding the town, owned by the Northern Commer- cial Co.,, and under lease to the CAA.
 The people claim hat they have no place to expand and the town is crowded into an area 2500 feet long and 300 feet wide, with the river cutting deeper and deeper into the bank every year and the strip continually getting narrower.
 Their protest states that 160 peo- pie are now living in that area and more would like to move in, but there is no place to build. The Land Office has been notified of their predicament.

Present Grade School
Continued from page one)

First School
The history of the first schools
in Caldwell, back in the days
when the grade school and high
schools were held in the same
building, is an interesting one.
The first school building here
was located near the old Narrow
Gauge depot where the home of
Mrs. Mollie Rucker now stands.
This was two room building
and the only edifice for the high
and grade school students alike.
When the conditions became
too crowded here, a third room
was rented in the old K. of P.
hall and the pupils would 60 up
the alley when ever they had a
class in this room.
Constructed in 1880
AS more and more pupils be-
came interested in an education,
this old system became obsolete
and the present grade school
building was constructed on
North street in the year 1880.
There was only the one building
at this time.
A few years later the crowded
conditions again became evident
