SCENERY FOR a NEW PLAY.
Ita Preparation In Modern Theaters

Its Preparation In Modern Theaters
an Interesting Process.
The preparation for new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is most
interesting A complete model in min
iature is made. about the size of one
of the German Toy theaters seen in the
shops The picture is carefully painted:
the rocks, if there be any. and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color.
mounted on pasteboard. and If the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature. flights of steps,
and the hangings, all seriously worked
out. 1t is something that would de-
light the heart of a boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced. and are then put away
on shelves, alasl only to warp and be-
come covered with dust.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per-
Torrance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; SO there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may be
! obtained.
When every detail has been settled.
then the great acres of canvas are
| spread on the paint frames. and the
! drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors These are filled
with paints. which are mixed with
water and a size, and enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas. 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist. who dashes on the paint with
no apparent care and who has TO work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries. which it does quickly

STRENGTH OF GlBRAL TAR.
Its Overwhelming Effect Upon an
American Tourist

American Tourist.
There Is no doubt that Gibraltar is,
from the nature of its location. the
strongest fortified spot on EARTH said
recently returned tourist. ''Dut the
English officers who are on duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it, They have very NONSENSE
cal rules and regulations governing the
, fertilization. and one of them Is that
no American can be admitted to the
fortified places. though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
Il do not think the combined guns of
the rest of the world, all working to-
gether and for - hours each day Sun
days and public holidays included. for
one year. could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock quarter of a mile thick, and
such thing as doing any damage in
u military sense would be simply non
sense Gibraltar could resist any at
Il
tack. and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces
sal.ily have to be exposed in making
its attack This exposure would have
to be within range of the guns of the
fort, even if they are 30 years out of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective rs modern guns,
for with all That is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are ont of sight Of each other.
while all this is admitted by mill
tary men of all countries. it seems
funny that there should be anything
of a secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed TO inspect as freely as the
people of other countries are. Eng
land may be whipped some time IN the
history of the world, but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar. ! as

IMPROVE ATHLETIC GROUNDS.
Band Concerts and Many Amusements

Steps have been taken by the AgricuI-
tural and Mechanical College authorities
to beautify the athletic grounds at the
college and in the spring to use the
athletic grounds for drilling purposes,
especially upon such days as shall be de-
signated for full dress parades.
The organization of baseball team
is already being discussed and the farmer
boys find that besides several of their
best last years players being ON hand
there is a quantity of good material
among the new students. The schedule
of North Carolina College games which
will be announced before spring WIN
show several good games that the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College boys will
compete in for the championship. 1t is
expected and hoped that several of these
games will come off lin Raleigh and that
the popularity of the national sport wiz
be revived in this city.
1t is the purpose of the college TO have
each week during the spring term, one
on two events OF public interest and to
which the public will be invited. The out
door sports will afford amusement for
many. There viii be debates from time
to time and the drills will be often re-
peated.
Facilities for accommodating ladies and
the public generally on the athletic
grounds will be arranged and shortly af-
ter the work is completed president
