THE AUDITORIUM, looking toward the rear, allows one to obtain a better idea of the capable manner in which the design of the interior has been handled. Damask of two distinct designs has been used on the walls: the lower portion in stripes, the upper portion in figures. THE LOUNGE, done in a manner which would be appropriate to a big town de luxe first-run theatre, has, for its appointments, furnishings which should satisfy the most fastidious of the theatre's patrons. The floor, heavily carpeted with a covering which is most modern in pattern, neatly sets off the smart furniture that is. at one and the same time, the last word in comfort and upto-the-minute design. It will be noted that here the lighting fixtures are of different type from those in the auditorium. yet they serve here, as there, as masking for the openings of the air-conditioning ducts, serving utility, charm. THE LOBBY, makes a most pleasant impression on the patron as he enters the theatre. Gayly decorated, the motif here is again modern. Well lighted display frames are built into a veneer paneled wall. From the top of the frames, fluted columns extend to the ceiling, continue across the ceiling in a rafter effect. Between the display frames, and over a round mirror (which adds further to the impression of depth) is a sprightly mural depicting a fairy queen feeding the royal swans. No carpet was selected to cover this lobby, subject, as in every theatre, to hardest wear, but rather efficient rubber mats. !•< I, i t
