the utility of Placing iron drop.curtains in

gcsting the lining of the stage side of the pro-
cenium arch and boxes up to tho peak of the
roof where no wall exists at that point with
tin, and to make a drop-curtain of tin, rivctcd
in place of being soldered, an to be dropped in
case OF FIRE; tin being. until oyerheated, nom
conductor, would, when dropped, give the au.
dicncc time to vacate. Tin can be handled
much easier than iron. The experience here

that the fire from COmbustible materials on the

auditorium more rapidly than through the cur
