Panic-Proof Theaters Needed.

FROM the Architectural record Magazine.
II is not freproof theaters we need so
much as panic proof; the proof born of the
simple and natural plan. The free and
unrestricted area, with open spaces on all
sides is the first imperative requirement.
We legislate this. but we evade it. If under
present circumstances theaters cannot be
made profitable upon such expensive sites
does not the advent of quick and cheap
transportation offer a less expensive sub
stitute? Or if we must have some CEN
trally located playhouses then admission
prices must be advanced. or better STILL the
profit-taking spirit may be eliminated by
the advent of the philanthropist into the
field of endowed theaters
The perfect theater necessitates first the
perfect site, so that the architect may give
it a fitting and proportionate plan The
ancients understand this. Their semi-circu-
lar plan radiated exits. and more-ea CHI

ample is that mighty fabric, the Roman
