theless, if installed at all, merits proper main- tenance and equipment. In a vaudeville theatre, where intermissions are not the rule, this room will probably not be nmch used, except in con- nection with its toilet facilities, but the expense of equipping it as a very small and intimate club might be equipped has in general experience been found well justified. Cuspidors, ash trays and an electric, gas, or similar cigar-lighter, with a few comfortable chairs and a substantial table, a durable, dark-toned rug and a few suitable pictures will generally suffice as to furnishings. Of course, this list may be elaborated, or reduced, depending upon conditions; but it is recommend- ed that the subject be not dismissed from con- sideration without a thorough study of its im- portance. It is well to install a public telephone booth with suppressed buzzer or bell in this room. Toilets Aside from suitable urinal (standing type) and seat facilities, the different types of which need not be discussed in this article, there are but three main important items in connection with the equipment of toilets, i.e., toilet paper, soap and towels. 104
