MOVING PICTURE PLANT
For Lecture Hall at Art Gallery The trustees of the National Art Gallery and Dominion Museum have completed arrangements for the installation in the lecture hall of an up-to-date moving picture plant with sound equipment; which will probably be ready for use before Christmas. The‘ hall, which, will accommodate about three hundred people, was constructed for the reception of such a plant. It has, incorporated in the building, a fireproof projection room, situated at the southern end of the hall, above the tiers of seats. By closing certain shutters over the projecting and viewing j apertures the room can be cut off entirely from the hall, so that there is no danger to the audience in case of fire. In any case, the devices now in use in pitcure theatres are so ingenious that the risk from a fire spreading from a film overheated in the passage through the machine is greatly minimised, indeed, made almost impossible. The lecture hall is situated below the main floor in the north-eastern corner of the National Gallery building, and adjacent to the rooms to be used by the Wellington Philosophical Society and the Royal Society:
