Vaudeville shows come along with a rather voluminous arra}^ of properties, sometimes; for instance, a diving act with a big tank, an animal act with a number of cages, a sketch with spe- cial set and furniture, or a singing act with a grand piano; and limited stage room hampers the proper presentation of such shows. The proscenium opening should be propor- tioned about as follows: In general, the rule is that the width of the proscenium should be six feet greater than its height. The floor of the stage "in one" should be laid in maple or other hardwood, and the balance of the stage in good, clear, narrow T & G floor- ing, free from knots, thoroughly kiln dried and seasoned. No other floor is required to stand the abuse that a stage floor is called upon to sustain, and to be right, it must be securely laid. The flooring should run up and down; that is, be laid from apron to back wall, not from side wall to side wall. 36
