THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF leave bis theatre until he assures himself that all funds have been properly placed in the safe, and the safe and combination locked, and that proper instructions have been given to night watchman or to the chief janitor, should your cleaning force work throughout the night. During inclement weather it is very important that the marquee lights be left burning until all of your patrons have been supplied with cabs or have left the front of your theatre. Your footman should be instructed that on such evenings he must remain until the last patron has left the front of your theatre. Immediately after the close of the performance the fire curtain should be lowered, raised, and then lowered for the night. Proper work lights should be placed for the aid and assistance of the cleaning force, an inspection should immediately be made by the night watchman or the chief janitor, and all exterior doors securely bolted or locked.
