Audience wearing special 3D glasses to view film Bwana Devil, shot with new “natural vision” 3d technology. Paramount Theater, Hollywood, California, November 26, 1952.

There exist at least two versions: one, employed for the cover of the Society of the Spectacle, depicts its elegantly attired audience in a virtually trance-like state of absorption, their faces grim, their lips pursed, the other shot of the same audience, however, the 3-D spectators are laughing, their expressions of hilarity conveying the pleasure of an uproarious, active spectatorship.

A detail of J.R. Eyerman’s photo (1952) was used for the cover design of the 1983 English edition of Guy Debord’s La Société du Spectacle (The Society of the Spectacle). The cropped selection used for the book was also flipped from left to right.
