'tsets'' have been painted at the studios of Lee Lash and MT. Po1i, in New Haven. The switchboard, which con- trols the lighting system, is the latest type Of theatrical device, and is most simple in operation. The picture sheet,'' the curtain on which moving pictures are shown, is something new in this city. Instead of white sheet, the surface is silver bronze in finish. This makes the pictures clearer and does not tend to cause eye strain.
 To handle this new theatre, MT. Poli has a corps of 53 men under Manager s. J. Breen. One of the first things done, as soon as the house was partly ready for occupancy, was the assign ing of employees to stations Tor fire or any other emergency Several drills have been held already. Twenty three emergency exits can be thrown open in a few seconds and the house emp sion arise. Six exist are from the or chestra floor, six firm the first balcony, seven from the second balcony and four from the stage
 The dressing rooms, 12 in number. are north Of the stage and in a sepa- rate building reached by two stair ways from the stage. The dressing rooms are connmodious and fitted with hot and cold water. Baths are on each dressing room floor.

ROCHESTER CLUB
 GETS DEL PADDOCK
NEW YORK AMERICANS RELEASE INFIELDER TO INTERNA-
 TIONAL LEAGUE.

President Frank Farrell. of the New York Americains, announced yesterday that he had released 1nhe1der Del Pad dock to Rochester, of the International League. Paddock joined the Hilltop forces toward the close of the past campaign. He came up from Dubuque, Iowa of the Three-I. League, having been turned back to that minor or ganization by Jimmy Callahan.
 The release of Paddock shcu1d prove welcome news to Midkiff, the yourg- ster, who showed eexcef+:nllal promise under Wo1verton the last couple Of weeks of the past season. Midkiff is the only third base solution of the Hilltop infield, barring the veteran Roy Hartzell. The latter did not have a successful time of it at the position in 1912. He started out well enough but appeared to go stale on the job: He degenerated into a stationary" third sacl1er. Switched to the outheld, Hartzeu proved far more formidable than in the first line of defense. If Midkiff makes good on the near corner HartzeH in all likelihood will become a candidate for garden duty
