I the permanent boards of the Broad On
the stage are placed two tremendous
platforms, or tables, each &c feet in length
and graduating in width from three feet
just back of the tormentors, where they
are pivoted, to 16 feet at the end of
the table. Two immense king-pins form
the centre on which each platform re-
wolves, the king-pins being carried
through the stage and solidly bolted
beneath. Different sets are constructed
on the two platforms and swung sue
cessively into position behind the curtain
Thus. one platform, with its settings, is
visible while the other is resting in the
wings ready TO be reset. BY this means
the seven scenes of the play can be shown
with virtually no break
In front of the tables there is placed
an immense gold picture from &c feet
long by Il feet high. the frame itself
Is inches in width. Masking in the
scenery are two Moorish curtains, dull red
in color, closing to mark the end of each
scene and reopening at the beginning
of the next period. What is most
pertinent and surprising in the working in
this special stage and curtains is that
but four seconds are required TO transport
the auditors from their observation of one
scene into intimate connection with the
next
Electrically also. the equipment is out
out of the ordinary. Her Price" carries
its own switchboard. DINNERS and an
immense assortment of lamps of varying
colors to give the necessary touch to
each separate scene. The switchboard
is six feet square; there are Is large dim
mers controlling 100 lights each and u
small dinners controlling 50 lights each.
The amperage necessary is from 50 to go;
each light is of 10O-Watt value and there
are 1900 feet of cable used.

PUNCH" SETS SEAL

Still Does Chas. Cause Critics
to Scrape-Punch Takes
Off His Hat

Many times have our most sincere
critics fought over the irrepressible
Charlie Chaplin. and many people sim
ply cannot stand his low methods" but
at last the personifcation Of high brow
fun and humor steps forth from the
shadow OF war to add his weight Of
opinion, and that staid English view,

Punch" is on our Charles side:
Whether or not Charlie Chaplin is, as
Is claimed for him by certain not disin-
terested people, the funniest man on
earth leave 10 others to decide. Two
persons rarely agree on such nice points,
and retire at once from the arbitrament
because I don't know all the others. But
that he is funny is beyond question /
will swear to that. His humOr IS Of
such elemental variety that he would
make TERRA del Fuegan or a Bush
man OF Central Australia laugh not much
less than our sophistical selves. One needs
no civilized culture to appreciate the fun
of the harlequinade, and 10 that has
Charlie, with true instinct, returned. But
IL is the harlequinade accelerated, intensi-
fed, toned UP for the eXacting taste OF
the great and growing picture public 1t

Charlie has brought back that admirable
form of humor which does not disdaiu
the cooperation Of fisticufs. and in
which, by the way of variety, one man
is aimed at and another, too intrusive
is hit. However long the world may
last, 1t is safe to say that the spectacle
of one man receiving a blow meant for
another will ever be popular. Indeed, the
delivery Of blows at all will ever be
popular. Thus-Elory bc!-are we built"

works than any other of the more Illus

course OF five minutes he receives and
distributes a myriad black eyes, a myriad
falls. He kicks abundantly and is abund-

THE REVOLVING STAGE AT LAST

but it brings with it a mechanical device
that has had long years Of successful
operation on the Continent, device that
has made playgoing a considerable de-

New York has at the Century and the
Little Theatres two of the very few
American examples OF this great disk cut
in the centre of the stage and permitting
four or five scenes already set TO be
swung into view in a few seconds. No
American manager has yet tried TO adapt
TO our theatre the sliding and wagon
stages which are also part of Conti-
mental development; they are sections of
stage on wheels which can be rolled into
position in a moments time with the
scenery all ready upon them.
The producers Of Her Price" however,
have devised a compromise between these
two methods. They have constructed n

MUSIC AND THE EXHIBITOR

You can make up a twO-hour enter
tainment, but what are you doing to have
the best music? II is the musical prop
Osition that needs attention. You have
got to improve your methods. Play q
little different music. Take away the
trombone and use the cello. Good, con-
structire music can be gotten out of a
piano. Mr.. Lyman Ii. Howe used only
one piano for his pictures.
Have an introduction in your music
Some piece from foreign country. Have
n little piece here and there TO run in
accord with the pictures. When there is
q parade in the picture I have two or
three monographs playing marches.
This makes the scene more realistic, be-
sides giving the audience n novelty. L
try to have little variety in my show.
Something new or novel TO correspond
with the pictures. Continuity of all
these is great help in bringing people
TO your theatre.-SamueI RothapfeL
