AN OUTDOOR-INDOOR THEATRE FOR HOSPITALIZED WAR VETERANS
OUTDOOR-INDOOR
A more commercial version of the hospital-theatre plan is presented in this perspective of a combination indoor-outdoor moving picture theatre for year-round operation. In good weather the patrons may be given their choice of seeing the pictures from without or within. The ample parking lot provided serves a dual purpose and therefore solves a persistent problem. This plan also by Edward Paul Lewin appeared in The Modern Theatre, issue of April 22, 1944.

A timely and most humanitarian touch to postwar theatre planning was introduced with this adaptation of the Tri-Stadium, Triple-Show Drive-In Theatre principle for central rear projection, as shown in the modelled perspective on the opposite page. In this plan, a rehabilitation hospital courtyard becomes an arena for the viewing of motion picture entertainment by our returned and returning disabled war veterans. With terraces at one side for wheel-chair patients, seats on the other for mobile convalescents and a view from the hospital wards for bedridden patients, our hospitalized war casualties are provided with one of the best medicines for health recovery — good moving picture entertainment, outdoors or indoors. This plan, commented on favorably by the press and public officials, was presented in The Modern Theatre, issue of January 1, 1944.
