Geyling, who painted the glass plates himself, used this process for the first time in 1925 in ‘Peer Gynt’; it was an enormous success, mainly because of the brightness of the colours. The projection was done with arc lamps at a steep angle so that the actors could get close to the horizon without casting a shadow on it. The brightness of this direct projection was stronger than that of the back projections that had already been tried out, which were projected onto a backdrop from behind and only had the brightness of a translucent image.

The devices were therefore not located behind the auditorium and were not housed in the auditorium ceiling or in the portal boxes, nor in the ramp towers, but directly above the stage, 3.50 m behind the ramp on a catwalk. The stage could be illuminated at any light intensity, but the stage lights were fitted with light shades and apertures on the horizon. The horizon projection was taken care of by the special equipment – with arc lamps – at a steep angle, so that the actors could get close to the horizon without casting a shadow on it. The luminosity of this direct projection was stronger than that of the back projections (Rückpros) that had already been tried out, which were projected onto a backdrop from behind and only had the translucency value of luminosity.
