Temple Auditorium Acoustic Proper

Scenery Is Reconstructed.
Speaking Parts Assigned

The first dress rehearsal of the PAS
sion play will be held tonight on the
stage of Temple auditorium The COM
pany will go through three acts-Christ
leaving his mother at Bethany; Christ
before Herod and the trial before
PLATE. The scenes will be set as fol
the performance. From now on unit
the opening night, Monday, March IA,
Mr.. Stoermer will hold several re-
hearsals at the Auditorium, the re-
mainder of the time drilling his people
at ST. Joseph's hall as heretofore.
A great deal of work remains to be
done at the Auditorium before all will
be in readiness for the great produc-
tion. Reconstructing the scenery alone
will keen a force of fifteen stage car
penters busy until within day or two
of the performance. While it is being
made over and cut down to fit the
stage, 1t is also being rebuilt in such
form as to make it easier to handle
when the production is taken on the
road.
In order to improve the acoustic
properties of the Auditorium, which Ed
ward Heyes, music director of the Pas
sion play, decided were not entirely
satisfactory after making q test one
day last week, several thousand feet of
harp wire will be strung at close in
terVals from wall to wall, half way
between the ceiling and floor. From
each of these horizontal wires others
will be stretched to the ceiling. This
network will act as q resonator thai
will help to carry the voices of the
performers to every part of the theater
and intensity the finer harmonies of
the music, which otherwise might be
blurred.
