General Theater Construction

This paper will discuss the uses of alternate materials and to some extent the varied requirements to be considered in the construction of a modest or low-cost type of theater as compared to the construction of the more elaborate or so-called de luxe motion picture house. It will neglect the considerations of the special features such as layout of a full-act stage, stage lifts, gridiron, dressing rooms, paint bridges, orchestra lifts, and other requirements of a full presentation or legitimate theater, as probably there will be few theaters of this description constructed in the immediate future.
