 Theatre Nursery
 Many mother can testify to the small baby's utter lack of appreciation for the subtleties of the drama. In fact, the babys tendency to crow, as the heroine expires, and to weep clamorously at the big joke of the evening. has resulted in a policy of rigid exclusion in most the eatres. To obviate this, however, the builders of new Chicago theatre in- structed their architect to include a real children's room in his plans. So he provided two big rooms which occupy almost the whole of the third floor front between the gallery promenade and the street, and the result makes an interest ing story, with pictures. in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. And mothers kid dies can now sleep in dainty nursery, or romp in the cheerful. airy playroom which contains every one of the non breakable joymakers dear to childish
 hearts.
