Ushers' Room The dressing-room provided should be equipped with ample hanger space, and hangers for uniforms when not in use. It should also l)e equipped with lavatory, mirror, brushes and combs, shoe brushes, whisk brooms and the items incidental to keeping clothing, etc., in neat condition. As ushers are required to be "spick and span" in appearance in the theatre, the facilities with which to accomplish this sliould be provided in the dressing-room. This room should be frequently inspected by the superintendent or manager; order and neat- ness should be insisted upon. In many theatres, metal lockers, with locks, are provided for the ushers in which to keep their street clothes while on duty in uniform. The plan is good; it obviates arguments when personal effects of ushers are missing—and tends to make each usher directly responsible for properly caring for his uniform. The prac- tice in such instances is to require the usher to deposit the key to the locker with the superin- tendent when leaving the theatre, and secure it from him or his office when reporting for duty. This provides a check upon the coming and going, promptness, etc., of the usher. 106
