MANUFACTURE OF SETS IN AMERICA START TO BE MADE AT ONCE. PICTURES IN THE HOME. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. HOLLYWOOD, November 7. Striking a sharp blow at fears that television would injure the cinema industry, Paramount Pictures announced today that it is starting immediately the manufacture of television sets and the establishment of stations across the continent.
Sets will cost 150 to 200 dollars and will give an image of 11 by 8 inches. Claudette Colbert and Dorothy Lamour will be the pioneer stars. Mr Stanton Griffis, chairman of Paramount, expressed the opinion that television would aid the picture industry by providing a new outlet for its products.
He envisaged eventual telecasting into theatres where the images will be magnified to full theatre-screen size. He added that eventually two types of film would be produced, one for theatres and a more intimate kind for homes.
