The last chapter of my gradually forthcoming book deals with how cinema represents smell, emphasizing more how smell can be encoded in the audiovisual image but also discussing "extradiegetic" techniques such as Odorama. I've also given a couple of talks on the subject, "Smell-o-vision" and "Olfaction and Intellection," which I'd be glad to forward to your friend. An essay I published in Afterimage, "The Quays' _Institute Benjamenta_: An Olfactory View," also deals with this subject. You might also look for a recent article by Jim Drobnick in Parachute. On more historical notes, my colleague Charles O'Brien tells me that Marcel Pagnol diffused smells into the movie theatre during the premiere screening of _Angele_, causing mass panic. Rick Altman mentioned to me that he's seen advertisements in 20s trade publications for cooling systems that also permitted pumping scents into the movie theatre. Other examples include Griffith's burning incense at screenings of _Intolerance_. Laura U.
