Motion Picture Herald (Oct-Dec 1932)

44 Better Theatres Section November 19, 1932 operate at slower speed. Fans of this type usually have four wooden blades and they are hung from the ceiling by an insulated hanger. The blower type of fan may be located over exits, under stage, at sides of projection booth and on roofs, either at front or rear. While the importance of adequate ventilation in the auditorium is generally recognized it has been found that many theatres have failed in providing ventilation in lobbies. Air in the lobby, particularly when crowds are waiting admission soon becomes stagnant and foul, with the result that patrons are unduly wearied and placed in an unfavorable state for enjoying the entertainment.
