MOTION PICTURE PROJECTION 91 A lot could be said about the position of booth and the construction of same, but the trouble is that the operator is generally the last man a manager or exhibitor will consult in this matter when planning the theatre, so the operator has to work under conditions as he finds them. One thing we would advise and that is, that the walls of the booth should be painted a flat black (if same has not been done). The size of all openings should be reduced as much as possible, shade all lights so that none of the light finds its way into the auditorium of the theatre. Each operator naturally has his own idea as to just what constitutes an ideal projection room, however, we are submitting in the following pages a detailed description of the furnishings and fittings of two well known and much discussed projection rooms in New York City.
