the double stage, by means OF which Mr.. Mackaye
gets rid of the necessity of filling large space Of
the stage with the fats" BY the arrangement of
,bo stage under ground the lats are stored under
meath the auditorium. aud once set upon one of the
duplex STAGES are lifted by machinery to the level
and confusion of shifting scenes and also with need
less delay between the acts.
The method by which the building is ventilated
