From any place in the seat area the unpleasantlight from the old fixtures is gone. The new fixtures areup so high as to be almost unnoticeable to anyone in theaudience, especially those on the main floor. This is avery desirable feature in any illumination system. Thepainting by Millet shows up better than before the oldfixtures were taken out, the suggestion of bars in front ofthe painting is done away with and the whole appearance isvery much improved.
