Theater safety debate on remodel costs and projection rooms
The architect warns that upgrading Virginia theaters to stage capable venues would cost 5 000 to 10 000 dollars per theater for over 350 houses. He argues motion picture houses lack deep stages and scenery, with only curtains and motors on stage. Budina opposes mandatory two doors from projection rooms, citing remodeling impracticalities and safety of projectionists in the room.
