Signs, Directional
Take the case of a patron who comes from the auditorium and asks for directions. If the theatre owner has had this experience he realizes the embarrassment and other inconvenience. The patron is paying his way into the theatre and he deserves every consideration. The modern theatre today is equipping itself with the directional sign. Every business building is doing likewise.
Signs may be considered in two general groups — those that are illuminated and those which are etched on metal or wood without illumination. The illuminated signs, which are highly artistic in finish and construction, are made to read either from one side or both. The lettering in the signs is chipped into the glass and silvered, making it easy to read in daylight. The letters glow in a soft greenish color. Illumination is accomplished with 25 watt show case clamps. Signs are fitted with lamps, cord and plug ready for attaching to light socket.

Signs — Electric
Motion picture theatres are leaders in the use of Electrical advertising, the usual electric signs at some of the metropolitan houses being the most elaborate of their kind to be found anywhere. Among the smaller theatres also, electric signs are widely employed. Electric signs may be obtained in many desired sizes and designs. In fact, a good design is one of the outstanding requirements of an effective sign and in this connection, a number of manufacturers of theatre signs have created special departments for the design of signs especially suited to theatre purposes. Since the sign must necessarily be made with consideration for the size of the theatre facade and facilities for anchoring it, the matter is usually given individual consideration, and sketches prepared for the specific building to which the sign is to be fastened.
