The Decor atoms

The decoration of the interior of the
theatre is unusually beautiful and eff
fective This work was in charge of
the C. A Brand Co of Chicago, W.
Wilk of the firm acti ng as foreman of
large corps Of painters and decora-
tors. The mural decorations consist of
number of panels tYpifying joy, pleas
ure, delight and varying pleasurable
human emotions. They are from the
brush of Mr.. Brand
The boxes which extend entirely
around the sides and rear of the audi
torium are separated by massive pill
lars. These pillars are covered with
Dutch metal gold leaf in floral design
and above the boxes are floral garlands
in p(astics tinted in delicate majoIica
coloring. The ceilings throughout the
building are in ivory. The wood work
aside from that in the auditorium,
which is entirely in gold leaf, is an
ivory finish the work having been done
by C. L. Kleckner of Baraboo. The
ladies' reception room which opens
from the mezzanine floor is artistically
decorated in rose and grey and is ap-
preached by white marble staircase
The plastico decoration in the LOBBY is
especially effective, the floral designs

The Organ

The w. Fl. Atom Piano Company in
stalled the Wonderful new Hoped ones
Unit Organ in the theatre. This was
strenuous job on account Of the organ
being placed in a small room built es-
pecially for it in the roof of the thea
tre. All of the parts of the instrument
had to be hauled up on block and tackle,
the total weight being some Blk tons
This plan of placing the organ in the
roof of the theatre is original with Mr.
Ringing and the effect produced ex
ceeds all expectations. No one can con-
ceive where the music comes from, as
it seems to come from the dome of the
auditorium and from every direction
instead of the direction of the organ.
In playing this instrument some parts
seem to come from the orchestra pit;
other tones seem to come from the
west side of the room behind the boxes,
all combining and making 8 harmon

Distinguished Guest Speaks

At the close of the performance Gov
ernor Philipp was introduced and spoke
from his box. He said he was glad to
be present on Ithis pleasant occasion
and that to him it seemed like a home
coming. Although he has been away
twenty eight years he assured his hear
ers he had not forgotten the many ties
of friendship in Barsboo and his being
present was like unto one who returns
from long journey. He said the citi-
zens of Baraboo are most fortunate in
having this beautiful theatre for drama
tic art, music and literature. He spoke
on the fact that music is a universal
language and of the value the play
house will prove in art as the years go
by.
Governor Philipp spoke of the success
the Ringing brothers had made and
how their name had become a house
hold word all over the nation. He
spoke of the uplift the circus business
had felt from them and compared it to
what may be done for the stage. He
closed by saying the people of Baraboo
are to be congratulated on the beautiful
building and joined with the audience
present in wishing MIR. Ringing a long
and happy life.

STRUCTURE COST
ABOUT 100000
Equipped With Fine Or
gan and Other Essen
tials of the Newest
Design.

It was a gala occasion.
1t was the greatest event ever seen
in Baraboo.
The AL. Ringing theatre exceeds all
expectations.
The weather was an ideal November
evening.
Many distinguished guests were
present.
Many were disappointed that they
could not be present.
With all the beautiful gowns and ap-
preciative audience it was memorable
scene.
On Wednesday evening the new AL
Ringing theatre was opened with a ca
pacity house. The attraction was Lady
Luxury, comic opera which played
for many weeks in New York. The
star of the cast was Florence Webber
and all the members of the company
were clever. There was plenty of mirth,
the costumes were fine and the music
was pleasing. 1t was just such play as
one might desire to open new play
house. Since the story of the play has
been previously given in this paper it
will be omitted here.

The Theatre

The playhouse stands on Fourth ave-
nue. on the site long occupied by TIE
Wisconsin House, a Baraboo landmark.
1t faces the south, the courthouse park
and is on one of the finest streets of
the city.
The building is as near fire proof as a
theatre can be made. Brick, stone.
ce nent and iron enter into its construc-
zion. The base of the exterior at the
front is of fine polished marble and
other parts of the front are of white
marble and other material. The en-
trance is to the right, three stores be-
low and three Offices above occupying
the west part of the front of the struc-
ture. The side walls and stage are of
brick, cement and iron. Here are a
few figures about the building which
may be of interest:

The Lights

The lighting fixtures installed
in the new Al Ringling theatre
are as beautiful as found anywhere.
The center one in the auditorium has
forty eight lights, trimmedIin silk and
verre de sole glass engraved panels.
Each of the seventeen boxes has
Pearlman antique provost finished light
with silk tassel on the stem. There
are silk fixture lights in the ladies' rest
room and through the foyer are candel-
abra bracket lights trimmed with silk
shades.
In the stairwell is Pearlman design,
cathedral glass panels. There are six
tubular candelabra lamps inside. Many
of the lights mentioned have gold
wreaths on the outside design.
The lobby light is antique gold, fin
ished with soft high lights. There is a
caIcite cut glass bowl, inverted top and
three large lamps in bottom. About
the lamp is laurel band of cast bronze
hand done.
The fixtures are finer than in most
theatres in design, quality and finish.
Victor S. Pearlman, rs Adams street,
Chicago, designed the fixtures and they
have been installed under the direction
of Leslie C.. Miner of the same city.
The installation is an excellent piece of
workmanship.

Here's To TIE
Grand Organ!
To the Editor:

LIZ Ll1O GO1GOA
Particularly should like to say that
at the theater opening last evening, l
was most delighted to hear the music
of the big organ, and to add that, if a
r eally good orchestra is unavailable,
the organ might be used regularly and
orchestra be omitted. have attended
theaters in Madison when / wished the
orchestra far away. so poor and rudely
noisy was it. Besides, the organ is
never eccentric; it never goes on
strike; it never argues with the man
agement; it always is amiable and rnelo-
dious. These surely are comfortable
qualities, both for manager and audi
ence-and for economy. So say, let
Us rely on the splendid organ. 1t is our
good fortune to have this wonderful in
strument. Few of the older theaters
are thus favored, and not many of the
new. Here's to the grand organ, fit
ting complement to our perfect play
house. IL. +. Enings.

ious whole, and even the softest small
est pipe can be distinctly heard in
every part of the house.
The actual work of installation was
done by Robert Atom of the w. FL.
Atom Piano Company and Arthur Tenn
pie from the Wurlitzer factory.
If it is desired, all the effects known
in the category of music can be sum-
moned into being through the use of
this instrument. The marching of SOL
diers, cheering of crowds, the calls of
animals, = all of those sounds which
make the picture story more realistic
are within the range of the Wurlitzer
orchestra. There is practically no
limit to the realism which may be Civ
en- to the plays by this means.
Mechanically, the Wurlitzer orches-
ira is a marvel. 1t is electrically oper-
ated and controlled and unlike the ordi-
nary organs it has high pressure, and
instantaneous touch. Every organ tone
may be had in greater power and a
world of tonal achievements which no
ordinary organ could compass are with
in it's scope. 1t does not merely repre-
sent an orchestra, it is an orchestra
with the various Instruments all under
the control of the master hand.
These instru nents have been Install
ed in many of the leading theatres of
the world, including Cort Theatre, Chi
cago; Cort Theatre, New York;
ViCagraph, New York; New Pitt
Theatre. Pittsburg; Casino and. Hippo
drome Theatres, Ciucinatti; German
town Theatre, Philadelphia; Imperial,
Montreal; Beaver, Toronto; Liberty
Seattle; Regent, Rochester, N. Y. Lib
erty, Spokane; Paris Theatre, Denver:
and many others.
Different from many organs, this in~
strument can be played If desired by a
music roll mechanically, making it pos
sible to have the best of music whether
there is a musician available or not This
was special request of Mr.. Ringling's.
He did not want to build this beautiful
theatre without providing some way of
having good music. Tn e instrument
must be heard to be appreciated and
Baraboo people will have unlimited op-
oortunity to enjoy the best of music at
all times.
The w. Fl. Atom Piano Company has
more than local reputation for this
kind of work, having installed theatre
organs and automatic pianos in all parts
of Wisconsin and Minnesota
