Abstract: During the past twenty years much information on theater and screen illumination has been accumulated. The significance and reliability of these data are discussed in the light of known physical factors influencing proper illumination. As a first approximation to a standard, it is suggested that the data indicate a value of 8 to 12 foot-candles as representing satisfactory illumination. Variation of required illumination with screen size is analyzed, and a solution of the problem is suggested. The brightness of screen surroundings also is discussed. It is concluded that improvement in projection may be made by stricter application of existing information but that further investigations are desirable.
