is a beautiful theatre and situated
in the heart Of the city. The house
has seating capacity of nearly $500
and is furnished in the most up-to-date
style. In all South American theatres
the stranger Is struck by the number
of boxes. In some of the smaller
there are no less than three tiers Of
boxes, which run the whole length of
the house. The theatres are really too
big for the productions. 1t was at the
Coliseo that Pavlowa held forth during
her first journey in that part of the
world. Also, a number of opera COM
panies, and in South America there
are many, make their abode at the
Coliseo. 1t seems to be the rule with
travelling opera organizations to give
q short season In Bucnos Ayres upon
their arrival in South America in order
to make enough money to travel on,
and also to secure enough good press
notices to give the proper start, and
upon the return also to play a short
season to make up for whatever losses
may have occurred.
There are numerous other first class
houses to be found in Buenos Ayres,
and nearly all strive to give the best
sort of entertainment-and for a rea-
sonable price.
One would think that, with all the
JOY and gayety of the South American,
farce comedy would appeal, but it
does not. A comedy without music is
opera field that brings Joy to the Ar
gentino. The Spaniards love their ma
tive music, and their little one-act oper-
ettas are nearly all musical gems. The
plots are complete; they call for plenty
of action, but, above all else, artists
must know how to sing. At all the
leading musical. comedy theatres one
hears voices that would grace any
grand opera stage to the just envy of a
number of overly advertised prime
dome.
The Argentine music manager is a
keen, but just, business man. In spite
of what some Americans may say about
.1is business methods, he does not
attempt to take advantage of his
public by selling his house out to ticket
spectators who are allowed to rob
public which has no redress. A
number of just that sort Of schemers
from America have gone to the Argen-
tine for the purpose, but when they
found out that such business would not
be tolerated, back homo they came.
AS most all the musical comedies are
in one act, an evenings performance
may consist of five or six Of these
playlets. The Argentine manager makes
two kinds of sales. First, he has q
price for each act, and also one for the
entire evenings performance. Very
often one of the acts has been playing
at another house in the city, and the
man in his audience who does not care
to see 1t again is at liberty to spend the
time in an adjoining cafe, where he

made, and this would instil demand
tor our theatricals in that part of the
world.
One hears much every day about
companies from New York sailing for
South America. Nine tenths of such
reports are untrue, unless it be some
circus, street pair or speciality vaude-
vile acts. This country, at present,
has practically nothing to offer in that
line any more than the Argentine, so
1T is rather dangerous to build money
castles and return home with empty
pockets.

ulation of nearly 100000. but, unlike
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, San
Francisco and other centres, it has no
great suburban districts upon which to
draw. And it has been figured out
that during the amusement season
half dozen of the best houses. SO
in proportion to the population Buenos
Ayres is the greatest theatre city
in the world. The people love amuse-
ments and go to enjoy the opera and
plays SO long as they get their moneys
worth. One thing about the Argentine
playgoer is that he does not expect n
Metropolitan Opera House performance
at vaudeville prices. Should onetimc
famous opera star sing at variety
theatre he does not accuse the artist
of being "all in," but takes it for
granted that his best days are over,
and the artist is still revered for what
he has been, Yet, on the other hand,
let much heralded opera singer, actor
or vaudeville entertainer come be-
fore the public and not live up to the
touted reputation, and the reception
will be enough to convince the artist
that the over-active press agent is a
man unworthy of his calling. Then, on
the other hand, should the artist come
up to expectations no more cordial re-
ception can be given. The approval
of Spanish audience is thing no
artist can ever forget; there is moth
ing like 1t in the world, and were it
not for the conservative critics no
doubt the artist would lose his head.

partakes not Of whiskey and soda, or
beer and wine. but coffee served
in tall glasses. When the act is
over he purchases another ticket.
Should there be six shows and he buy,
three tickets, the chances are that the
purchaser will sit in nearly every part
of the house. There are also a number
of two, three and four act comic operas,
but these are generally old standards.

hold on the public, and whenever
manager finds business breaking bad

LANSING ASKS DIGNITY
OF EMBASSY FOR PERU

Washington, Dec. with the
approval of President Wilson, Sec
retary Lansing has asked congress
to raise the American legation at
Lima, Peru, to the rank of embassy.
Peru has signhed a desire to ap-
point an ambassador to the United
States, and, the administration
wishes to agree,
In letter to Chairman Hitch
cock, of the senate foreign relations
committee, transmitting the request,
made public today, Secretary Lam
sing pointed to Peru's friendship
and her alignment with the United
States in the war and urged the eX-
change of ambassadors. Argentina
and Brazil, on the Atlantic side of
South America, and Chile on the
Pacific side, now are represented
here by ambassadors.
Special interest attaches to the
recommendation at this time be-
cause OF the boundary difficulties
between Peru and Chile The United
States has urged the two countries
to hasten an amicabIe adjustment of
their differences to preserve Pan
American unity.

tent to sit back and wait for some
body OF men to do his thinking for
him. The problem of reconstruction
is an individual problem.
The man who has been intending
to erect new building or alter or
remodel an existing structure, but
who has deferred his work either
because OF the ban on construction
or for certain other reasons, has ex-
ceptional opportunity for doing
something definite in the matter
now.
Many of the best authorities argue
that the prices on building materials
are not likely to make any decided
change in the near future-perhaps
not for some years. On the other
hand. it is possible, considering the
high rentals prevailing, that a build
ing erected now at present prices of
material and labor will produce
greater return to the owner than a
building erected two years hence.
From many points of view, eco
nomic as well as social, it seems
propitious to have plans for building
made now, so that every individual
will at this time put into actual prac-
tice a bit of work that is going to
be a step towards the great work
to be done, Such action will help to
industry in this period inn
mediately preceding and which will
follow the formal declaration OF
peace.
Let us build-let us create--let us
,tage the great drama of the city
,ity streets on every corner where a
new building should rise on a va
can't lot. Let us begin now our plans |
or reconstruction; our plans to
provide employment for the return
ng warrior and for the loyal war
iors who remained behind and .
lelped make possible the great sue
,eSs OF his brother in arms across
he seas.

Building-construction work,-has
almost overnight, leaped from a nom
essential classification to the great
est OF all activities, In the initial or
der the War Industries Board lifting
the ban on prohibited businesses and
industries, construction work was
removed,
That really was not surprising.
Every student OF the problems of re-
construction has predicted in his cal
culationS that building would be the
supreme activity Of early peace
times.
Every indication points to these
predictions coming true. There is
serious economic need for new
buildings, mainly because the build
ing industry has been depressed for
years. There is an acute paucity OF
almost every kind of structure, rang
ing from small houses for workmcu,
increased peace-time factory and
plant extensions, to banks large ho-
tells and office-buildings. Soon there
will be an unprecedented rush OF
building Architects will be given
commissions that will flood their
