Ve- hlcli's for Wrottae, Blekel and Watson are never written for any other effect than fun. This fact waa kept well In mind by Barry Wlllfsma and Aaron HofTman when they wrote the book and lyrics.

Tbe walnacoting la higb and of white marlile, with Irregnlar black streaka, tbe doors are covered with Morocco leather, wblle the frleie and celling are adcmed with tellet work. , Within the auditorium, artistic symmetry and warmth of tone are admirably blended; The width of tbe house gives It a ^dona aspect, wbUe tbe depth makes It appear cosy and brings even the last row of seats Into proper relation with the stage. Tbe proecenlnm arch is massive and with tbe tMxea forms an impressive frame work for tbe stage plctnrea that wlU be piesented. The color scheme Is red and g«d.

The ^alia are npbolatered to ted. the hanging ot tbe boxee are red and tlie carpets are green. The effect Is that of ridinesa and vrarmtb. Above- the proecenlnm are finely wrought sjubolle Ogners In relief. No coloring baa been applied to these, and as a result tbey resemble Ivory carvings upon a large scale. An opulence of relief work also cbaractertxes tbe treatment of tbe proscenium and boxes. Electrlllers of artistic design are In har- mony with tbe general scheme of decoration. Indeed there la no discordant note discernible.

The sUge Itself Is sufficiently large to accommodate elaborate productions, and It Is equipped with all tbe very latest fa- cilities. Twenty Are-proof dressing rooms are arranged on tbe IJvlngston street side and are finely furnished. Special attention has t>een paid to the heating ot the suge, so as to obviate tbe discomfort to the audience of a blast of cold air when the curtain rises. As regards safety, everything that experi- ence and Ingenuity could suggest has been ntObied.

This Is worked by an electric button. Advanced m e thoda are also employed In the manlpoIatlaa_ ed the, electric lights, which play such aa hBgoitant part In up-to-date productions. The andltorlum will be heated by hot air .distributed by a new system.
