display on the wall has similar lighting, but this light is masked so that the light cast from it falls only on the wall display. All of these troughs are connected together as a single decorative unit. They are made of sheet metal, to be painted according to the decorative scheme. All of the necessary wiring and lighting elements are contained within the troughs.
Th is scheme eliminates the need for any lighting in wall displays themselves. With such lighting it is advisable to use a minimum depth for any of the moldings which are used to frame the display so as to prevent shadows from being produced along the display case framing by the overhead lighting.
This indirect ceiling light scheme does not preclude the use of some points of concealed downlighting in the ceiling, which could be used to focus attention on any special advertising display, or emphasis in the floor pattern.
BOX-OFFICE TREATMENT
With Sketch 5 we go to the entrance of the theatre. Here we have a box-oflice in a weather-protected lobby. The top of the box-office is completely open for ventilation and is about 7 feet above the floor, with open space between this top and the ceiling of the room. The upper part consists of joists and an open mesh expanded metal covering, which, besides being decorative, is practical for ventilation and lighting. The box-office is illuminated by downlights placed above it ; the fixtures throw the light through the open mesh into the box-office.
The lower portions, under the plate glass area, can be faced with the embossed metal finish heretofore referred to. It can be stainless steel or aluminum, with the stainless steel being preferable because it requires no maintenance other than wiping with a slightly damp cloth. This material is manufactured as a Rigidized metal. The embossing is available in many patterns. It serves also to strengthen the material, thereby permitting lighter gauges, which cost less.
[An arrangement for a wide-screen setting by Mr. Schlanger will appear in the April issue of Better Theatres.]

SKETCH 4: Arrangement for modernizing lobby lighting. Extending laterally are lighting troughs
(A) containing fluorescent lamps, these lighting the ceiling. Attached to them is another trough, parallell to the wall and opening to it at an angle
(B) to confine illumination to a display.
•
SKETCH 5: A method of giving the box-office a new and decidedly modern look is illustrated in this drawing of a structure topped by joists (A) between which metal screening is placed, through which downlights (B) illuminate the interior.
