(Edward Austin Walton, "On Education for the Interior...)`` Designs , plans and furnishes interiors of houses , commercial and institutional structures , hotels , clubs , ships , theaters , as_well_as set_decorations for motion_picture arts and television . (Frank Getlein and Harold C. Gardiner, S.J., Movies,...)Motion-picture exhibitions took_place in stores in a general atmosphere like that of the penny_arcade which can still be found in such urban_areas as Times_Square .
