Some of the finest music halls in the
world have been made so by double

wall made of hard cement or plaster
Is totally unfit for music or oratory.
One talks or sings against a dead
surface without elasticity or rebound

acoustics and fireproof construction
seem to be wholly incompatible, as
thin wooden paneling is, up to date,
the only wall material for this pur-
