Henry Callahan tells us tnat Port
Clinton will be one of the first Is
Ohio cities to have Cinemascope
movies. The huge wide screen will
be placed in The Clinton as soon
as Cinemascope is available, pro-
badly during October. Three rows
of seats in the front of the theatre
will be removed so that the wide
screen can be installed. Over the
weekend, Callahan and projection
ist' Kenny Pool fixed up theiS cam
eras and sound equipment for Sd
movies. Monday morning they had
preview run on Fort Tt" and
POOLS mechanical artistry proved
tops as we ducked quickly when
George Montgomery tossed a tom
ahawk which seemed to split our
scalp. For BID movies, two cameras
must be used and the films are
marked fright" and cleft. If they
fail to synchronize, both cameras
must be stopped and repairs made.
Under Cinemascope, only one cam
era is necessary but five sound
tracks are used-and spectators do
not wear colored glasses.
