Abstract: The photometric factors in designing the visual environment in a motion picture theater to promote the comfort, enjoyment and safety of the audience are discussed. The dependency relationship of screen surround and house brightnesses to screen brightnesses is explained. Optimum relationships are given and suggestions made for the practical execution of the recommendations, including the locations of lighting units and the shaping of the auditorium walls and ceilings.
