should be a master-lever for each color, and a grand master-lever controlling all stage lights. House lights and fans should also be controlled through dimmers, similarly arranged. Two types of dimmers are recommended: the Cutler-Hammer 120-step type interlock- ing; or Ward-Leonard 125-step type. Either will give satisfactory service, the latter being somewhat cheaper. There should be separate controls for each floor of the auditorium, side wall brackets, beam lights, etc. These lights should be governed also by remote control switches, workable from push-button switches in the box-office and picture booth, and from some place con- venient to the door-man, so that auditorium lights, in an emergency, may be turned on from any of these points. The control of auditorium lights from the booth should be practicable, as in the event of the house adopting a straight picture policy the expense of having an elec- trician back-stage will be saved. Upon the face of the stage switchboard should be placed the signal controls, connecting with booth, orchestra and fly gallery, and at some point on the board or very close thereto, the opening of speaking tubes running to these three locations should be placed. 54
