Excerpt from The Motion Picture Theater, Its Interior Illumination and the Selection of the Screen: A Booklet for Motion Picture Theater Owners and Managers The results of these tests, it is believed, will be of very great interest to every motion picture theater owner, archi tect, and engineer. The question of correct lighting of the theater and screen is of as much importance in the motion picture theater as the acoustic properties of the opera house, concert hall or the theater devoted to the spoken drama. This booklet is published in order that the lighting condi tions may be raised to the high standard already set in the other details of the theater and in the excellence of the screen offering. It is as important that theater patrons be relieved from tired eyes as that they should have comfortable seats, good ventilation and satisfying music. They go to see the pic tures for rest and relaxation as well as for amusement. If they go home from the theater with all of their senses pleased, they will come back to that theater again and again. The Kodak Research Laboratory is peculiarly adapted to handling problems connected with light and lighting. It is light that, by affecting the sensitive materials, makes the negative. It is light that prints the positive from the negative. Light is the basis of photography and so our Laboratory men know light as no other group of men in the world know it and they have at their command all the apparatus for conducting the most exhaustive experiments. And when a new problem comes along that requires some hitherto unknown piece of apparatus for its solving, they design and construct whatever may be needed.
