to foot and a half, but very accurately
sized. This is given to the stage carpenter,
who from it measures his lumber to hair.
Upon the frames thus built the canvas is
stretched, and is generally given one coat OF
printing by the carpenter. Then it is hauled
up on the paint frame and the scene painter
goes TO work. If he has great deal to do
he measures off the canves in squares, his as
sistants draw the ground plan from the
model, and then he paints it in.
The kind of painting done is known as dis
temper; that is to say, water color. Oil is
never used in any department Of stage work,
because of its inhammable character. The
color is usually laid out On large, fat wooden
pallettes The time taken TO paint set of
scenery, Of course, depends entirely upon its
character, one scene filling TN entire stage

other would take couple of weeks

"These are drawn first in crayon or ink.
then separate those parts in the foreground
of the picture which intend to use in the
front part of the stage scenery-that is, in
the wings. For example, supposing my
crayon sketch represents a street in some OLD
town or village The first two or three
houses on both sides of the way cut out OF
the picture for wing pieces. These are given
to the stage carpenters and mechanics, who
use them as models to go by in making frames
for the canvas In this manner work into
the perspective until l come to the back
piece, which scene painters call the back
drop. To paint this piece properly requires
great skill for the actual perspective of the
stage has to be carried into the canvas. This
is difficulty which thepainter in oils knows
nothing about. After l have cut up my
sketch | proceed to paint the several parts &C
cording to the conception l have formed Of
the scene to be produced.
These | intrust to competent workmen
who copy them carefully upon the canvas
The back drop is painted according &c
the following plan: first produce my
idea in colors upon small piece of card
board. | then divide the sketch into squares
Taking this as my guide, go to my work
shop. Come with me, and l will show you
what do next"
High up above the stage, in the extreme
rear of the building, an immense platform or
bridge extended from wall to wall This
was the artists work room. There were
several long, wooden tables here upon which
stood scores of huge pots containing paints
Of various colors. An enormous wooden
frame, hung upon pulleys, swayed idly back
and forth behind the bridge.
Upon this Frame" said Mr.. Hoyt, 1.-THE
canvas for the back drop is stretched. 1t is
40 feet in height and 20 in width have this
canvas divided into the same number of
squares that my sketch contains, and proceed
TO draw the outlines of the scene into the sec
tions, copying carefully my original design.
This is easily accomplished, for the frame
can be raised or lowered by means of the pull
leys upon which it hangs to suit my conven
fence | make all my outlines in charcoal,
using long rod to facilitate my movements
When this part of the work is completed ]
mix the colors for the scene and set my as
sistants at work. Often | have as many as
six or seven men painting upon different sec
tons at the same time. Everything has been
mapped out for them, and they have only to
follow my original sketch closely in order to
produce the effect desire. After they have
finished put in few touches here and there,
and the scene is ready for the stage. rarely
have the opportunity of seeing it is a whole
until it is set for performance"
The usual method, however, of construct
ing a scene is, first, for an artist TO draw the
sketch of it, and very often it is not the
scenic artist that does the drawing From
this sketch the scene painter makes a minute
model, usually on the scale of about an inch

his scenery. he is fun of suggestions, and
imposes innumerable restrictions which tend
to trammel my ideas. He must have a door
here, window there, an ascent leading up
into the wings to represent asmountain path
way, or fight of steps on some particular
part of the stage. My painting must be
adapted to these requirements, which are often
essential to a correct representation &c the
play.
Everything must be historically correct.
In painting the scenery for the opera, Queen
of Sheba,' got many valuable hints from a
careful reading of the Old Testament 1t
was also necessary for me to read dozen or
more works on ancient architecture, and to
thoroughly Undue my mind with the charac-
teristics of Oriental scenery. Thus equipped,
set my imagination to work and prepared
my sketches

l"This is as fixed in their minds as were the
ffructures in stone and marble where the
people of centuries ago sat and witnessed the
self same unquestioning obedience to prece-
- dent on the part of their actors. In this re-
production of the old theatre of Orange, or
Araceio, as it was known by the Romans,
the turning prisms help 20 convince the spec
tator of what the author intended, without
in the least manner attempting to impose
upon them by means of scenic illusion. There
was no more deception in these rotating
prislns than there was in the labels in Shakes
peare's Globe theatre, where This is Il pa
lace, This is forest or This is a sea coast,
ansrered the requirements for that time"
The origin of the curious piece of theatrical
slang, gallery GODS is unearthed by one of
these models 1t is that of THE Mysteries Of
Valenciennes," given in 1917. 1t is merely a
panoramic view, presenting successfully hell,
purgatory, the golden gates, the sea, the
bishops house, the palace, Jerusalem, the
temple the town of Nazareth and Paradise.
N this model they are longitudinally dis
played, but they were commonly shown in
stages, one rising above the other, the lowest
being that of his satanic majesty, the top
floor showing Paradise Thus it was that the
piled to gallery spectators.
Each scene painter naturally has his own
method of work VoegtIin, one Of the most
famous Of them all, is generally considered
to be the most rapid. His speed is wonderful
He has been known to wait until the very
day before an elaborate production and then
paint three or four big drops in a single night
And with it all, his scenery is always strik-
~ ~,
broad daubs and with no attention to detail.
Herry E. Hoyt, the famous New York
scenic artist, in an interview once said:
Some people imagine that men in my
profession are Of little consequence, and few
would deign to call them artists. Now
claim that the scene painter is as much of an
artist as the man who paints in oil colorS
The same amount of originality is required,
the same careful study, the same knowledge
of perspective and other laws that govern
painting. and tine same amount OF practical
experience The effects produced by both de-
pend mainly upon the judicious use Of the
colors employed.
The scenic artist works upoL q gTander
Sfsc7Ile, uses huge brushes and profusion Of
I materials in his work, but his methods are
the same as the others
"To prove the truth of this statement need
only assert that if any stage picture of artistic
merit were to be reduced TO the size of an oil
painting the great splashes of color would be-
come delicate lines, and the correctness of the
work be apparent to all On the other hand,
e the smallest oil landscape were to be mag
nifed to the size Of a stage scene the exquisite

pear as huge daubs of paint Twill now e1-

REAR VIEW OF SCENERY. bare stagel To
make the end of the repentant adventures
effective a bedroom is necessary, and that
bedroom must be made of canvas. But it
mustn't look as if it was made Of CANVAS,
On, mol The walls must appear as solid as if
they were built of the plaster and timbers
they pretend to be built of, and the painted
hangings and decorations must be as elegant
and elaborate as if they were made of silks
and satins, OF course, this all costs money,
and good deal Of it. too. But the work Of
the most talented actor and actress IN the
world would go unapplauded in these days of
elaborateness il the money was not spent.
The making of the canvas hills and valleys
and houses and ships and trees and bushes,
is one of the most important of the many
branches Of the theatrical business, and by
working at it thousands Of men make their
living.
The salary of a first class scenic artist sell
dom goes higher than $50 week, although
there are few exceptions to the rule. The
assistants are paid from s. to SIS a week.
The growth of scene painting and elaborate
stage settings is an interesting subject to
glance back upon. One of the features of the
big Paris exhibition is collection of models
of stage scenery. 1t shows the evolution from
the crudest and earliest attempt to the mag
nificent productions of the present time.
There are twenty-four of the models each
carefully and artistically constructed upon u
scale of half an inch to the foot,
Each model is inclosed in a case two feet
high, and they look good deal like the little
theatre for sale in the toy shops, Five Of
them are devoted to the old Coincide Fran
caise and nineteen to the Opera since its
foundation. In writing of the model of the
Roman theatre at Orange, James Schonberg,
IN The New York Star, says:
at reproduceS the stone constructions for
merly ornamented with marble columns ard
panels, like the front of a palace, to serve as
its permanent decoration. The door in the
center is the regal entrance, opening upon a
recessed half circle, indicating the portals of
the palace itself; two other doors in lateral
positions being, according to tradition, the
one the guert's lodging place and the ap-
proach from the exterior, while the other an
swers to the requirements of the sanctuary,
the prison or any other part of the structure
supposed to lead into the interior Of the
building. To show how eternal are the ira
ditions of the stage, it is quite possible to find
SSsertain old stage managers who will gravely
\ inform you that one side of the stage, gen.
orally the one to the left of the spectators,
should always be used for exterior entrances
and departures, while the other side should
be kept solely for interior comings and GO
ings.

Jrupgp FROM A TRAIN Sunday morn
;nI, hire man II smt Wyatt Drury board
ID PASSENGER train at Chatham station, on
the Virginia Midland lsilroad' stating to the
conductor that he desired to De put on at
Lawyers, about 10 miles east OF chatham.
He was informed that the treln wouli not
stop there and that he would have to 20 10
the station beyond. After passing Lawyers
the conductor missed his passenger ana con-
cluded that he had jumped of at the stauon,
despite the fact that the train was moving
at the rate of so miles per hour. The con-
ductor's surmise proved to be true, as
freight train coming along snort Tune
after found Drury's frightfully mancled
body within one hundred yards Of the sta.
tion, The remains were taken to Lynch
burp and the mans frieuda notified.
