Stage Thunder and Lightning.

The reason why the mechanism for
making the noises that give realism to
a play are never seen by the audience
Is because the illusion would be COM
pletely destroyed If its operations were
exposed to view, explains Frank Fyles
In The Ladies' Home Journal.
The noise of the waiter falling down
stairs with a tray of dishes. for in
stance, is simulated by dropping as Of
ten as necessary a basket filled with
bits of broken china, and cylinder of
silk, turned with crank, drawing the
cloth over wooden f1anges, gives a per-
feet rain and wind storm. A lightning
accompaniment Is made by touching
an ordinary file to a bit of carbon. both
on live wires. and thunder by rolling
tenpin balls in long. narrow. wooden
trough.
The rumble of the wheels of car
riage is initiated with a vehicle like n
miniature freisilt car run on wooden
track, and striking of wood or metal
on hard or soft surfaces serves TO con
vince an audience of the approach or
departure OF a horse When there is
war. Il single shot or two Is usually
the real thing, but a rife volley effect
is obtained by rapidly beating n dried
calfskin with rattans. while heavy
strokes on the bass drum will convey
;he idea of cannonadng.
If this mechanism were seen in OPP
Grafton by an audience. it would make
the whole performance seem ridiculous
