8. What are the advantages of installing<br />
wallpaper?<br />
Wallpaper can be Installed easily and<br />
quickly. It needs no drying time, creates<br />
no mess or obnoxious odor and, therefore,<br />
there is no need to keep the theatre closed<br />
for prolonged periods. Wallpaper gives an<br />
of graciousness and character, warmth<br />
air<br />
and richness not otherwise obtainable.<br />
An impressive wallpaper scene on one wall serves to kevnote the mood o^ o decorative and spacious<br />
effect. The ocean scene here lends an illusion of uninterrupted expanse, of broad vistas, floor-toceiling<br />
draperies hung to very edges of mural give feeling of depth.<br />

9. Can wallpaper be used on the ceiling<br />
of a theatre?<br />
There are many patterns especially designed<br />
for use on the ceiling. They give a<br />
luxurious finish which would be impossible<br />
with a plain ceiling. Among the most<br />
popular for this use are those papers which<br />
are copies of elaborately carved ceilings in<br />
medieval masterpieces. Some emulate<br />
plaster work worthy of the old masters:<br />
olhers are reproductions of metal medallions<br />
done with the fine touch of an expert<br />
jeweler. Any one of these will give a thirddimensional<br />
feel and will provide true<br />
beauty in even the most modest theatre.<br />
Manufacturers offer a substantial variety of papers tying into local interests<br />
Some feature motifs of<br />

10. Must the same paper be used throughout<br />
the theatre?<br />
Many different papers can be combined<br />
effectively. Often two or even three papers<br />
can be used in the same section. For example,<br />
a scenic might be used on one large<br />
unbroken wall above a wallpaper dado<br />
which simulates wood paneling, masonry,<br />
or metal grille work. The other walls<br />
could be decorated with an all-over pattern<br />
which completes the colorings of the predominant<br />
design. The paper selected for<br />
the amphitheater might be still another<br />
design, just so long as the colors are harmonious.<br />
Many of the manufacturers are<br />

Wood paneling may be used where dignity is needed. With a<br />
contrasting Chinese panel it adds pattern interest as well as<br />
deep rich natural colorings. Excellent treatment in lobby.<br />
