Excerpt from Theatrical Scene Painting: A Thorough and Complete Work on How to Sketch, Paint and Install Theatrical Scenery The demand for artistic scenic paintings for window backgrounds is becoming greater every year. All progressive stores now use them for holiday displays and for different seasons, and as in the other lines of advertising the art of displaying merchandise has made great progress, and a well executed scenic background materially helps the merchant or store keeper to dispose of his goods to the public. Another field, unknown to scene painting up to a few years ago, is the moving picture shows, which are being erected even in the smallest towns. Nearly every one of these shows require the services of a scenic painter, either for distemper work in interior decoration, or to equip same with a set of scenery for vaudeville performances. Still another field open to the scenic painter is the work in the better class of private residences, public buildings, schools and churches, which in late years have commenced to use, more and more scenic decorations and distemper work.
