STAGE EFFECTS.-The expression. "be-
hind the scenes" brings to mind mys-
terious little world apart from everyday
life-a little world of joy and pathos, music
and splendor. Literally. behind the
scenes means the unmasking of wonderful
artifice, the work of genius.
From the front an audience is thrilled by
the accurate realism of the stage storm.
The flashes of lightning, the roaring of the
tempest and the thunder crashing and re-
echoing till 1t is lost In the sound of the
wind. Really, the storm is one of the SIM
plest of stage effects" In the flies hangs
ordinary arc light which is thrown on
and off by the man at the switchboard.
This is the lightning. Set where 1t may be
best heard is a wooden wheel about six feet
in diameter. This wheel is turned by hand
and rubs against pads of silk. This is how
the roaring wind is made
In the extreme back is set long trough.
Thin galvanized iron sheets are fastened at
Intervals of foot or so along this trough.

ton, and plenty of novel business is in
troduced for the general delectation of
the audience.
Particular stress is laid upon the ele
gance of the scenic effects and the cos
tunes. One incident, of which much Is
expected, Is where Kris Kringle, in his
a golden sleigh, drives a team of pretty
reindeer girls of the chorus. Another
scene incident claimed to be especially
novel is fire spouting dragon that
keeps itself busy helping out the con-
spring elements of the story.
OF the principals mention may be made
of Gus Weinberg, Mae Phelps, Grace Bel
mont, Nellie Lynch, Will Donnelly, Matte
Nelson Ross Snow, Maude Brown, Eddie
Redway w. II. Mack and H. L. Zeda and
a beauty chorus of sixty-five voices.
