This in reality is the first step in the process of attractingthe patron to the playhouse. In some instances, the most effective results are obtained bycombining outline lighting with the flood-lighting method. Archi-tects are often willing to alter architectural details so that flood-lighting may be employed. In some cases special cornices are con-structed or in others architects extend marquees out from the build-ing for the accommodation of the flood-lighting projectors. 53. An illustration of a type oflighting unit that has been verysuccessful for the flood-lightingof a theatre is shown in Figure flood-lighting projector is notdesigned to throw a concentratedbeam such as is obtained with asearchlight, but rather to- spreadthe lighting evenly over a largearea. Projector units can now beobtained for use with lamps rang-ing from 200-watts up to 1,500-watts. Entrance Fig. 2 — A type of flood-lighting projector designed for use with a 250-watt lamp. A bright, warm, and attrac-tive, lighting scheme should beadopted for the entrance of the theatre. This is probably the brightestspot in the whole lighting scheme of the playhouse with the possibleexception of the stage, and the lighting should therefore be carefullyplanned so as to have the maximum attractiveness with a minimumof glare. One of the fundamental points to be kept in mind in planningtheatre lighting is that the whole illumination scheme should bearranged so that a suitable transition in brigh
