NEW CONCEPT IN THEATRE DESIGN
Continued from page 12
eating of the manager's desk, a modern
black Formica unit, prominently in the
foyer directly opposite the doors, thus
keeping him in close contact with his patrons.
There is actually no office within the
Capri.
The Capri's concession stand is along the
wall between the managers desk and the
glass front, and has a street entrance as
well as service to the lobby. Jones was able
to use most of the standard concession
equipment that came with the theatre, all
of which was realigned for more efficient
operation in the new custom-built case.
A NEW CONCRETE FLOOR
In the auditorium the remodeling included
the poui-ing of a completely new
concrete floor and installation of 715 seats,
215 of which are the Air-Flo loge type
measuring 44 inches back-to-back. The remainder,
or general admission, measure 36
mches. The chaiis were painted a flat
black to match the interior decor, which
is in gray and black with the columns accented
in Chinese red. The heavy ornamentation
of the Egyptian's columns and
ceiling cross beams disappeared under the
sohd colors in keeping with the neoteric
theme. The waterfall curtain, also in gray,
extends completely across the front of the
auditorium.
To achieve a sufficiently wide enough
picture for the new processes, it was necessary
to bring the screen out in front of the
proscenium. Stereophonic sound was also
installed.
Completing the remodeling, new restrooms
were built with walls and floors
both in terrazzo. The fixtui-es are aU wall
hung and Sanistand units are featui'ed in
the women's room.
NEW AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
An entire new air conditioning and overhead
distribution system was Installed utilizing
two 15-ton Westinghouse compressor
units for refrigeration. Heating is by a
low pressure hot water system through
coils in the main duct. Automatic thermostatic
and aquastatic controls keep temperatures
even.
Another factor contributing to the
Capri's success is the maintenance of two
paved and lighted lots providing adequate
and convenient parking facilities. The theatre
is three miles from downtown, but
geographically in the heart of the city and
easily reached from all parts of San Diego.
Pi-omotion-wise, Jones has devised a
clever sig cut featuring the theatre name.
Attractions are advertised within the large
C. He has cuts in two-column width, four
and one-quarter inches deep, and in onecolumn
widths, two, and one and one-quarter
inches deep. As he puts it: "That large
C certainly does steal a page with only
two inches!"
