Theatre Accidents 421 Violation of these conditions means that in case of loss the insurance company is not responsible. Rating schedules should be considered for the possibility of improvements which would result in reducing insurance charges. In the case of every policy the manager is supposed to carry out the conditions of the contract as outlined in the policy. To do this he must familiarize himself with those conditions. Conclusion. Accidents at the theatre are in the majority of cases preventable. Every accident, apart from the damage cost incurred, affects patronage because the community's opinion of the theatre is influenced. It is not a wise business policy to wait until an accident occurs and then remove the cause. It is better business to be constantly on the alert, so that causes of accidents are removed before the accident occurs. This is a matter that requires constant supervision, and the more thorough the supervision is, and the better trained the staff is to assist in possible emergencies, the better will be the record of the individual theatre as far as accidents of every kind are concerned.
