THE PROSCENIUM, of this ultramodern auditorium is deserving of much attention. This view from the balcony shows the principal elements of construction design and the modern manner in which it was treated. Quite noteworthy are the line drawings of sporting events used as mural decorations. Most obvious in this view is the excellence of the balcony seating arrangement, whereby every patron has an unobstructed view of the screen, assuring complete visual comfort. The modern chairs make certain that physical comfort is also enjoyed. 1939 PRESENTATION No. 13 The New TRANS-LUX Boston, Mass. Architect: Thomas W. Lamb Owner: Trans-Lux Boston Corp. Unique among theatres of its genre is the new Trans-Lux Theatre, in Boston, Massachusetts, for, unlike its sister houses in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, the usual Trans-Lux rear projection equipment is not used. In other respects, however. Architect Thomas W. Lamb, of New York, has created for the Trans-Lux Corporation a typical theatre for the specialized presentation of newsreel and short subjects. From the brilliantly lighted front and its turnstile, to the auditorium, smart in its simplicity, the theatre makes a worthy addition to the company's chain and to Boston's famed Washington Street.
