GERMAN STAGE DEVICES.

-, successful stage devices. In three Ber-
n, theatres the revolving stage is IN con-
slant use. Several scenes are set on the
revolving stage at one time so that the
uaits between the scenes and acts are
materially shortened. Its use In the New
Roval Theatre has made Faust possible

tbe elevator stage 70 lower part OF the
scene below the floor level or TO raise
II as desired Cliffs may be raised on one
tran and dungeons be lowered on another.
Aside from the speed with which this
enables a manager TO change his sets, II
also makes possible the weirdest OF FAIRY
tale effects. A stage the size OF palace
may be reduced to the proportions OF a
hovel by adding a second proscenium
arch within the stationary one.
I'VE must insist that our stages shall
be Just as plastic as the German. The
