A CLOSER, angled view of the proscenium reveals the more the striking effect that can be achieved with just light. Here, too, may be seen more clearly the plaid effect of the Acoustone tiles. With the continuous light cove, with the hidden bulbs at full incandescence, the proscenium is limned with a brilliance such as could not otherwise be obtained, adding further to the dignity of the plain velour traveler in old rose with a silver sheen. The exit doors (never a thing of particular beauty) shrink to a minor consideration before the greater charm of the regal simplicity of the theatre auditorium.

ANOTHER VIEW of the lobby, this reveals that which is back of the glass-block panel, prominently seen in the first picture of this series. Again is seen the clubby appointments of the room which, aoparently, has been further decorated with more floral tributes to Architect Rosario Candela, Associate Architect Benjamin Schlanger, and Owner Robert Walton Goelet. Well may these "orchids" be tossed at these three, for seldom before has so notable a presentation in stark simplicity been revealed. May the pictures presented on the screen be worthy of so noble an architectural achievement.
FORMAL and dignified are the uniforms, designed by Howard Zeimer, and manufactured by Russell Uniform Company.
