Abstract: The present trend in the motion picture industry is toward more extensive use of the high-intensity carbon arc in both the theater and the studio. From the earliest days, progress in the industry has been attended by constant demands for more light and for light of better quality. The high-intensity arc is the most effective means of satisfying these demands, and promises in a short time to dominate the field of theater projection and to extend its field of application in studio lighting.
