Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 June 1915 — Electric Lights as Ushers. [ARTICLE]

Electric Lights as Ushers.

A simple plan that practically does away with the necessity for ushers has been adopted in some of the theaters in Vienna. This consists in placing in the back of each: seat a small electric light which illuminates the seat number and is countersunk so that it cannot be brushed against and damaged. So long as the seat is turned up, as it usually is when not occupied, the light is burning, but js shut off the instant the seat is turned down. With this arrangement all the theater goer needs when entering the theater is general directions as to the location of the seat, since the numher is illumniated and therefore easy to find. All the lights are controlled by a master switch by which the current can be turned on at the opening of the theater and turned off at the close of the performance. —Popular Mechanics.
