An open-air picture theatre for motorists has just been opened at Camden, New Jersey. Patrons drive in and park their cars in semi-circular rows. Then, without leaving the vehicles, they enjoy talkies projected on a 60ft screen. Occupants of a car may chat or smoke without fear of disturbing others, since their car is for practical purposes a private box. A newly-perfected system of directional sound projection makes the talkies as plainly audible to the farthest as to the nearest of the 400 cars accommodated. Each row is inclined so that cars may use the rear part as an aisle without interrupting anyone’s view.
