Abstract: Here and there a theater is planned with lighting features utilizing the fundamental principles that have been expounded on many occasions. In too many cases, however, interior lighting has lagged far behind exterior lighting for advertising, and owner and public alike have suffered. In too many cases, also, the theater falls far short of complementing the attractive scenes so well projected upon the screen. This paper reiterates the aims and advantages of proper lighting, and outlines the problem of locating, and controlling the lighting properly so that it will be comfortable and pleasing and an aid, psychologically.
