NEW CARRIAGE CALLING SCHEME.
AN ELECTRIC SIGN INSTEAD OF A MEGA
PHONE GIVES "CABBIES' THEIR
NUMBERS

The believing of megaphones was not heard
when the Criterion Theatre let out and
riages were needed to take its patrons home.
Instead of calling the drivers by voice. with all
the shouting and confusion that that process en-
tails, the man in charge at the exit simply dis
played on q. large electric sign the side
walk. facing down Forty-fourth-st toward
Fffth-ave. the number of the carriage wanted.
The drivers kept their eye the sign, and when
they saw their number they came up. AS there
had been rehearsals, this first performance
had to have some prompting. but it worked well.
and with much less din than used to be the case.
The system is simple. To each carriage it
comes up before the play is given a check which
tears in two like ticket. The driver keeps
one-half containing his number, and the other
half is retained by the occupants of the carriage.
This half looks like piece of the roll of piano
player for il is full of holes with no apparent
significance. 1t is made of stiff cardboard.
When the playgoers come out and want their
carriage the attendant takes the bit of per-
forated cardboard, thrusts it into little box be-
low the sign, on post of the sidewalk canopy,
and pulls a lever The connections of all the
figures the sign drop down the card. but
only those for which holes have been provided in
the card can fall through and make circuit.
Thus the number of the card is lighted on the
sign above. The driver sees then his number on
the sign, and up he comes without fuss or noise.
The transition from the appeal to to the
appeal to eyes seemed to meet with the ap
proval both of "cabbes" and public. and the
system. it was said. should be here to stay.

discover him the American Line pier, and
there was no effort on his part to escape them.

Then Secretary Shaw fell to talking with the
reporters if they could be of assistance TO him

questions.
