The way that Murphy took UP the

materials and according to Identical
plans and specifications, yet one may
be a poor place to sing in and the
other excellent. The ear is a stub

to please but the eye is less indirect
and much more frank. There is no ex-
cuse that may be reasonably urged by
an architect who plans public room

is distressed by intervening posts or
confused by encountering in the line
of light the heads of those who sit
in front.
When a theater is built, its seating
capacity is measured as the earning
capacity of an emp1oye is taken into
vital account. The more seats. the
more money; hence a protest, such as
is contained in the letter which will be
appended, is worthy of notice and is
wholesome. This is part of the COM
munication:
ALLOW me, as one of the many en-
thusiastic theater goers in San Fran
cisco to call your attention to a subject
which at the present time needs i'm
mediate and urgent action and which if
neglected now will result in discomfort
of the public for all time.
after the great calamity number
of places of amusement sprang up,
They were inconvenient and dangerous
but they served immediate needs and so
were justified. Afterward more pre-
tentious and safer places of public re-
sort were constructed, but almost with
out exception the present high class
theaters are comfortless and incon-
venient.
The seating capacity of theaters is
being planned to squeeze in the great
est possible number of patrons, without
consideration of comfort, and is result
ing in real calamity to the public. The
floors of our theaters have not suff1-
cient slope and in consequence only
those who occupy front rows are able
to see what is transpiring on the stage
without craning and twisting in a
most uncomfortable manner.
