able that this be done. To accomplish this it is necessary that the width of the house in propor- tion to the proscenium opening be accurately adjusted, and that proscenium boxes be care- fully placed so as not to obstruct the view from the extreme sides. In general, it will be seen that the slope or grade of the floor results in those in the front rows looking slightly upward, those in about center looking in a practically level direction, and those in rear rows looking somewhat down- ward, establishing a different sight line from each seat and each row to a given point on the stage. It is therefore necessary so to adjust the pitch or slope and so set the chairs as will make it unnecessary for the patron to crane or stretch from side to side, up or down, in order to look past the person seated immediately in front. Every seat should be placed at right angles with the line of vision from that seat, and an aisle should never be located down the center of the house. The writer hopes that the important subject of sight lines will receive from the architect and builder the thorough and careful attention it merits. 24
