paragraph uses such technical terms as facade, set designers, movable scenery,
and linear perspective. The terms, however, probably have meaning to the
audience.
-^ Enhancing the definition, a comparison with earlier stage construction and
the analysis of two structures help the reader recognize the significance of the
proscenium-arch development.

summarizes its impact.
