Functional design of Los Angeles Theater with 1800 seats cuts construction cost by use of graduated arch wall and roofing components; cost will average about $150 per seat, whereas more conventional structure requires $200 to $250; roof forms tapering tunnel due to use of 10 × 20-in. glued wood arches, whose span is graduated from 85 ft at screen end to 110 ft at entrance.
