After the war, Terrell tried his hand at a twelve-minute'film called Smellodrama -an odorously unsuccessful precursor of Mike Todd Jr.'s untried Smell-O-Vision (TIME, Nov. 17). Then in 1949, Terrell opened the nation's first musical arena-theater tent at Lambertville, although " 'tent' was one of the few four-letter words you didn't use in the theater."
