As motion pictures developed as an art form, theatre infrastructure needed to change. Storefront theatres and nickelodeons catered to the busy work lives and limited budgets of the lower and middle classes. Motion pictures were generally only thought to be for the lower classes at that time as they were simple, short, and cost only five cents to attend. While the middle class regularly began to attend the nickelodeons by the early 1910s the upperclass continued to attend stage theater performances such as opera and big-time vaudeville.<sup id="cite_ref-Enchanted_Evenings_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Enchanted_Evenings-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, as more sophisticated, complex, and longer films featuring prominent stage actors were developed, the upperclass desires to attend the movies began to increase and a demand for higher class theaters began to develop.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Nickelodeons could not meet this demand as the upperclass feared the moral repercussions of intermingling between women and children with immigrants.

The atmospherics usually conveyed the impression of sitting in an outdoor courtyard, surrounded by highly ornamented asymmetrical facades and exotic flora and fauna, underneath a dark blue canopy; when the lights went out, a specially designed projector, the Brenograph, was used to project clouds, and special celestial effects on the ceiling. </p><p>Lamb's style was initially based on the more traditional, "hardtop" form patterned on <a href="/wiki/Opera_house" title="Opera house">opera houses</a>, but was no less ornate.

The theaters were often designed with an eclectic exoticism where a variety of referenced visual styles collided wildly with one another. French Baroque, High Gothic, Moroccan, Mediterranean, Spanish Gothic, Hindu, Babylonian, Aztec, Mayan, Orientalist, Italian Renaissance, and (after the discovery of <a href="/wiki/Tutankhamun" title="Tutankhamun">King Tut</a>'s <a href="/wiki/KV62" class="mw-redirect" title="KV62">tomb</a> in 1922) <a href="/wiki/Egyptian_Revival_architecture" title="Egyptian Revival architecture">Egyptian Revival</a> were all variously mixed and matched. This wealth of ornament was not merely for aesthetic effect.
