Abstract :
The application of light-intricate in its many colors and intensities to the plot of a theatrical production has, within recent years, been developed into a veritable art. The “light plot” of a large production is just as surely an essential factor in its success as are the actions and movements of the actors themselves. The proper use of light on the stage may transform a bare set of draperies into almost any scenic illusion desired. On the other hand a scene may be ruined as easily by improper lighting as by poor acting.
