Skouras Theatres Opens New House In Shopping Center
Skouras Theatres have opened a new 900-seat house in Wayne, N. J., at the Preakness Shopping Center. The new theatre, named appropriately for the city in which it is located, was erected at a cost of $265,000.
The air-conditioned auditorium is decorated in blue and white, a color scheme begun in the lobby and foyer. Stage curtains are gold; auditorium seats are in blue and gold.
In the projection booth are two Simplex XL's, with Ashcraft Corelit lamps and rectifiers. The sound system is Ampex multichannel magnetic and optical.
Architect Drew Eberson gave the building a variegated color fieldstone, granite and glass facade, and integrated the interior to provide a smooth flow of traffic through the various areas leading to and from the auditorium. The Wayne's concession stand is in walnut, and stands in a lobby whose floor is in black flagstone and carpeting.
Downlighting in lobby and foyer accent the soft blue and white vinyl wall covering. The accompanying photos are views of the new Skouras house.
The grand opening was held early this year, and featured the showing of "Four for Texas."
Bold block letters, backlighted on the marquee of the Wayne Theatre, attract shoppers and passing motorists.
A bright setting combines with modern appointments to make the Wayne Theatre's lobby most attractive.

Polished wood backs of the auditorium seats lend rich contrast to the blue and gold decor. The "business end" of the seats are deep cushion upholstery, however.
