- Abstract
- Less than two years ago, leading theatre architects in answer to a survey on the subject expressed it as their belief that the motion picture theatre had reached its maximum size in the 5,000 seat house. Today, we have in course of construction the new Roxy Theatre in New York which will seat 6,200, and there are now those who predict that a cinema palace seating 10,000 is not at all an improbability of the future. Theatres of 4,000 seats are becoming comparatively common when we consider how few houses of this size there were three years ago. Beautiful playhouses of a capacity from 2,000 up have been erected on an unprecedented scale in the metropolitan centers in the past few years.
