ture are the entrances and stage w,
would earnestly urge that white in
0 expensive pillars may be made of cleo
trio light poles, these features to bt
designed in accord with the present
style of architecture of the building
We would urge that especial atten.
ton be paid to making THE CRYSTAL
Palace" tropical pavilion of extreme
beauty. This does not mean the lavish
outlay of money. On the other hand,
q We recommend that the simplest ma
terials be used on the most artistic
lines.
Let, everywhere, endless varieties of
palms, ferns and the hundreds of
semi-indoor plants so easy to grow
make permanent and special tropical
decoration of the building. The doors
could be opened daily for a nominal
| admission for tourists and others to
use, as is done with the out-of-door
pavflions at Manhattan, Long Branch
and other places.
TENANCY.
AS to tenants allow us to suggest
few of the many uses a building OF
this sort could be put to.
/. For all large official functions
L..
the Governor give a satisfactory ball
to Honolulu like here?
2 For all festivals of song given
by the united schools of the city, for
here under cover would be room for
not only the children but the parents.
3. For the meeting of the contest
ants for the award of the prizes grant
ed at our annual automobile show. If
in 1n
follow and the receipts go to some
good cause.
4. For the scene of the annual Mardi |
Gras given each year under the aus
pices of the Kilohana Art League. |
Here would be ample space for those |
en- masque on the floor and seating
capacity enough to make all comfort-
able, also room enough for refreshment /
and dressing rooms.
The ample stage, with the orchestra
box below, could hold, besides. the royal /
the ladies in waiting, the
patronesses and judges.
8. For the Fourth of July and other 1
National holiday celebrations of our
own and other countries. When we
had Independence Park the German
and English residents celebrated there II
the birthdays of their national rulers II
s. For band concerts in rainy weather
and for giving of concerts by clubs like
the Symphony society, where a large
hall is needed to make the music per-
'ect. The seating of our Opera House
s small and the rent high. In the
Crystal Palace" the admissions could
De small, for the number would be
arge
Z. For meeting place for the Civic
Federation when it is two thousand
trong and women are admitted.
This is enough in illustration. Charg-
ng nominal rental and daily en-
rance, the place could take care of
tself.
