Abstract
The various functions of motion picture theater auditorium lighting are discussed. Particular analysis is made of the lighting which is used during the period in which the motion picture is projected. Past and present lighting practices in this respect are explained. The advantages and disadvantages of these practices, and a new type of lighting are discussed. It is proposed that the illumination levels of the interior surface of the auditorium be at greater levels than have been heretofore found to exist. A definite relationship between the screen brightness and that of the auditorium surfaces is indicated as desirable. Recent tendencies toward higher screen brightnesses have made a very low intensity lighting in the auditorium much more undesirable, and therefore have made it more important to arrive at a new solution for motion picture auditorium lighting. The realism of the projected picture can be considerably heightened by proper surface illumination. Controlled reflected light coming from the screen and re-reflected from the interior surfaces is discussed as a medium for lighting.
