THE FOYER:
In most instances the old-fashioned foyer will have plush covered rail or wood panel standee rail only.
We suggest building a foyer wall with doors at the aisle ends, and the installation of a corresponding plaster cornice and ceiling.
In building these partitions, the old wood panel rail can in most cases be utilized. Glass sash can be added, and interesting fabric covering can be used on the old rail to make same new.
THE MAIN FLOOR:
In each individual case it will be necessary to change as much as possible the decorative and color appearance of the floor by prescribing a change in side wall panel effects and the decorative treatment of the ceiling under the balcony.
As far as construction is concerned, we believe that the shaping of the floor should receive considerable consideration. Steppings should be removed and a seating arrangement planned whereby new chairs could be placed in a radius of a small arc, which arrangement will in many cases allow a slight increase in capacity and at the same time give the lower floor the desired intimacy.
THE BALCONIES AND MEZZANINES:
It is in the re-arrangement of the mezzanines and in the retiring rooms which should be designed to feature a location close to the balcony seating that the biggest and most important improvements can be accomplished in an old-fashioned theater. Here many opportunities will be found to give extra ceiling heights and a double deck effect.
Waste spaces on the balcony can be used to provide retiring rooms and parlors. Sparing, but intelligent application o f additional ornamentation, will give these spaces an entirely new
