The big red curtain which covers the
a scene OF activity that can hardly be
imagined after its folds have been drawn
back to show the living pictures In
viewing these pictures from an
orchestra chair one naturally wonders
how the affair is regulated yet no idea
is possible until the act Is seen from be-
hind the footlights. II might suggest
itself that i is only necessary for the
models TO take their places and keep
perfectly still while the curtain is drawn.
And, In truth, that is all. but as much
system is employed in bringing this about
as would be required TO conduct a fire
department.
The frame in which the pictures are
shown is large affair. weighing 24OO
pounds. and is readily telescoped, so az
20 serve for large and small pictures,
thus giving variety I'm size as we'll as
subject matter. The frame is lined on the
inside with electric lights In red, white,
and blue globes. and on top are three very
strong arc lights, all OF which connect
with a switchboard placed In the wings.
The electrician has his box on top Of the
frame. and Is furnished with q light

Indicated There are three trucks, which
might suggest the portable stage OF the
early days when dramatic entertainments
were given on the street corners.
These trucks, two small ones and one
large one. are the same height AS the
frame. and have a semi-circular back.
Each is used for three or more pictures
with the scenery for thel after in place
I'm the order I'm which they come. The first
picture is formed in truck l. which rs 10
the right of the stage. The background
and the base are already In position.
The models take their places and the
truck is rolled up 10 the frame. Al a
signal the electrician of the theatre puts
the house in darkness while the one above
the frame turns on the picture lights. But
a few seconds are required for the models

CHAMPAGNE CHARllF."

the title OF the Augustus Thomas new
musical comedy. Champagne Charlie. ="
which Frank Mckee presented for the
first time at the Court Square Theatre in
Springfield last night, with Peter +.
Daley in the title role. supported by
Christie Macdonald and a large company
Of talented people.
Mr.. Thomas not only presents very
lively humorous story with strong un-
deriving sentimental interest, but also
an array Of characters the originals OF
which will I've readily recognized as promi-
nent in both the smart set or the
stage and society.
In the second and third acts tthe new
piece is staged In three acts) he very
adroltly contrasts both the comic and
serious side of making theatrical pro-
ductions, developing a great deal OF fun
from the unconsciously humorous things
certain managers have been known 10 do
when beset by the troubles which always
face the impecunious protector OF the
atrical enterprise.
VIII Mcconnell known from one end Of
the country 10 the other as an advance
man, plays the theatrical manager. The
scenes represent the veranda Of the ho-
tel Manhansett on Shelter Island, the
lohbv and auditorium OF the Herald
Square Theatre az night during a re-
hearsal. and the dining room or the
