-Fhyne Moore to He Seen on tho Stage.
In the roof resor. at the Victoria styled the
Venetian Terrace Garden. Oscar Hammerstein
has again devised something out of tho ord'-
nary. Besides differing from other roof re-
sorts in'appearance. 1t will be novel In respect
to the distance that will separate auditor and
performer. Fifty feet is the extreme. In the
centre"of the roof is an oblonR platform two
feet, above the tiles, This 10 whore tho spe-
clalists will disport. Around It on the roofs
level 10 SPACE for chairs and tables. Next
toward the edges OF the building Is q large
space outhtted similarly. and raised q little
above the le5el OF the stage. This last section
extends TO but three sides OF the building To
the west ts two-story stage for musicians.
| Around the outer side OF the roof and ten feet
above 1t II further seating space. Here &C.
| cupants OF boxes and reserved seats will look
down upon the entertainers and those seated
at tables. Above the boxes 10 a fanciful struc-
ture intended partly for ornament. but useful
as O support OF 2,0Oe electric lamps These
are expected 80 to illuminate the entire space
that footliRhts viii not be needed. AS the
stage will be viewed from all four sides. foot
lights OF anything like the ordinary sort could
not be used The upper tier or.terrace Is sup
ported by posts. and the WALL OF the music
hall does rot reach to It, SO those seated on
the roof Itself will be placed almost-as airily rs
those above The performers will make their
way to and from the stage through a small
portion OF the sitting space. but. as 1t is not
the plan to include dramatic, numbers in the
| programme. this feature will not cause awk-
ward difficulties. Mr.. Hammersten doesn't
