with Curtains.
The baleful phrase with curtains
has already come to have horrors for
those who have witnessed some re-
cent performances supplied with this
manner OF stage decoration. The
writer still has distinct and also
painful memory of the forest scene
with the black velvet background and
the apple blossoms which served in a
recent more or less artistic representa-
ton at a little theater downtown.
Draperies are taking the place of can
vas even in some of the most ambi-
tious presentations. Indeed. the stage
has never been so completely swaddled
before as it is just now.
After all, the use of curtains may
be made more suggestive and artistic
THAI any painted easel picture ever
could. Just what knowledge and ar
tistry in this direction may accomplish
to the good of the theater was shown
the other day at the Little Theater
when the Play Producing Society gave
another performance of the drama
which John Cowper Powys has made
from Feodor Dostioievsky's novel "The
IDIOT The result of Mr.. Powys's
labors has produced fantasia in the
Russian manner" rather than a play.

Nothing about this representation the

Frederick w. Jones Sd is a name
hitherto unknown among the illus
trious stage upholsterers, but he has
accomplished wonders with limited
means. The seat in a first class rail-
road train and the glimpse of the
bench in the park at Pavlovsk are per-
haps the most difficult problems with
which the decorator had to dea.. But
with the blackness about them and
the light strong on the point of in
terest the effect was sufficiently sug-
gestive to serve better, perhaps, than
most pictures would have done.
Certainly the higf ceilinged drawing
room with the candelabra and the gilt
furniture against the black walls, and
then the rather brilliant salon with
the crystal lusters and the furni-
ture in the Louis XVI. style. all still
against the velvet draperies. made two
of the most tasteful and artistic rooms
seen on the stage during this season.
The impression of wealth and rather
barbaric splendor characteristic of So
cial life in Russia in the late COS
was eloquently conveyed by these
scenes. Mr.. Jones may be young, and
he is certainly unknown. Yet none
but an artist in stage decoration could
have devised anything so attractive as
the interior scenes which he had pro-
vided for "The Idiot" And both were
done with curtains"

HEAT IN TIRES BLAMED
ON FLExING OF FABRIC

The heat that is noticeable in tire
after il has been run for Il few hours
is generated by the tire itself. due to
f1eXing and bending Of fabric and
rubber. The amount of heat depends
upon the rapdity and extent Of this
action. An overloaded or AN under
inflated tire heats more rapidly than
a properly inflated and properly load
ed tire. Similarly. an old tire. due Ia
weakness. is more susceptible to this
heat-producing action than new
tire.
The strength factor quilt into the
standard pneumatic tires Of today is
far above what the tire is ever called
upon to deliver, except under most
extraordinary circumstances. ENpe-
rimental tests have shown that i'll
