! To learn the electrical wiring sys-
tenn of the new World theater for
light and power is an education in
itself.
One wonders at the gigantic
switchboards, motors and resultant
lighting effects, how the mind of
man could possibly plan such a
project-to, one not versed in the
principles of electricity it is feat of
engineering and skill.
Otto Hansen, supervising engi-
neer of the World, is responsible for
the harmonious lighting effect in the
new theater, together with the
splendid and most modern appoint
ment of the projection room. 1t
was his genius that assisted c. H.
Brown, Omaha man, in the installa-
ton of electric motors for blowers
and huge suction fans in basement
and on ceiling for the ventilation
and heating of the World.
Six Transformers.
To begin with a lead-in of $500
volts enters the World tleater to
six huge transformers that permit
electricity into /, the theater on 10
and 220-volt wires. The transform
ers are protected by oil circuit break
crs, an innovation in wiring for huge
buildings. A main safety throw
switch is in the basement of the
theater.
AS explained by Mr.. Hansen hint
self, the wiring of the theater was
done with strict regard for per-
manent safety. There is not
switch in the entire theater that is
exposed.
The main switch board, manned
at all times by all electrician, is back
stage. The board is of the Mutual
electric dead 'front.' type with fuses
in each throw switch. From that
switchboard practically every light
and oil power in the house is con-
trolled, Mr.. Hansen explained. Above
the board are DINNER controls, worm
driven, for .colored light effects on
stage and through the theater. There
are two variable controls back stage
also for two 40horse power Wag-
ner motors above the ceiling of the
theater for fans in the ventilating
and heating systems. An automatic
switchboard in the attic of the thea
ter is controlled from the main board,
also novel design of wiring in it.

Automatic Switches.
On the stage there is no lamp under
200 watts.
All motors for blowers in the ven

theater are controlled by automatic
switches from the main board.

Organ Music From,
Walls of Theuter

From the upper walls of the arches
about the proscenium descended the
swell of beautiful organ music. Open
ings through the plastic artwork
above the draperies let through the
sound of harmony as played by
Arthur Hays at the Wurlitzer-Hope
Jones organ in the pit below.
From the main auditorium of the
World the travellers wound their way
in curiosity to the first mezzanine
floor. Torcheres of rare type with
candles and marble bases attracted
their gaze. Large balcony openings
set off with rich draperies or tur-
quoise blue and gold afforded them
commanding view of the lobby and
street. The mezzanine opened into
loges set with deep-cushioned seats
which afford a restful view of the
auditorium and stage-a distinct in
novation in theater construction.

A few steps further admitted the
couple into the mems rest room, done

The World Realty company con-

ment to their achievements. The
germ of the idea originated III the
genius OF Samuel l.. Goldberg and

With such capable heads as Mr..
Goldberg, Mr.. Mcfarland together
with Harry L. Goldberg, treasurer
of the World Realty company, w.
H. Jones and Harry Rachman, vice
presidents, the financing of the huge
project was we'll accomplished. For
their architect, they chose c. Howard

more than 100 playhouses in this
country.
The World theater thus Expresses
the ideal of six men OF long and
broad experience. both in theatrical
architecture and in the practical pro-
duction OF motion pictures. The re-
SUR is impressive.
What first impressed the travellers
IS they entered the lobby, was the
elaborate mural and ceiling decora-
tions, set off in cleaning lights from
three elaborate fixtures, designed by
the Victor S. Pearlman company OF
Chicago. The decoration is an art
IN itself, done in skillful handwork
by the Nelson Decorating company
Of Chicago. The color scheme OF
turquoise blue and gold with here

pedestal in chargin if she should en-
ter any OF the modern jazz palaces,
according to Theodore kosloff, ia.
nous Russian dancer, head OF the
Imperial Russian ballet school in
Los Angeles, and character actor in
pictures.
"The muse of dancing and choral
song would never recognize the
antics the young people Of today so
through with under the guisc of
dancing" he said. "The dance is a
wonderful thing but when it becomes
only an eccentric walk or flapper
glide it. falls outside the realms OF
terpsichorean art.
"Essthetic dancing, of course. is
pure form of the art but the old
time dances-the minuet. the waltz
and even the two-step were great
aides to grace and charm for those
who participated.
They're Awkward Now.
"The dance is an essential to
modern civilization because without
it we. would haye no way of acquir-
ing the poetry of motion. When
men and women roved freely in the
primeval forests, as the ancient In
dian tribes did, they acquired grace
naturally. The body untrammeled
by the clothing and lacing of civiliza-
ton, their feet unbound, these people
walked with the abandon and swing
of the panther or the deer. They
reclined, stood or sat with perfect
ease. But since men and women
have become civilized they have ac-
quired awkwardness as one of the
penalties of this transition. 1t now
requires special training-and the
sooner it is taken up the better-to
give them back the heritage Of ma
ture.
Then there is also the matter of

ficial than that of dancing. ] do not

One paramount feature OF tho con-

which dcadens any vibration.
In winter fresh air is inductcd by
