when the lights were played upon It
there was considerable reflection,
which spoiled the effect desired. The

rors to throw back the light effects
toward the audience After some ex-
periments the push was discarded
and the proper effec, was produced
by hanging gauze1 In front Of can
vas, both gauzes and curtains dyed
black.
In Peter Pan" perhaps Miss
Adams's most notable success, she
carried out many scenic improve
ments. All sorts of gelatine screens
were analysed for their color trans
mission, besides the energy distri-
button of lamps, which resulted in TIE
elimination of the arc lamp from the

When David Belasco built his own
playhouse he was in a most artistic
state of mind. His nights were
dreams Of filmy color harmonies and
his days were very human struggles
with carpenters and decorators and
compounders Of changeable paints.
He was forerunner of the manager
with vision, the producer with new
ideas. He has just celebrated his
forty first year of activity in tho
dramatic profession. He has lived to
control the most completely equipped
playhouse in the United States. He
Is able to place at the service of his
dramatists all that science has placed
at the disposal Of the theaters art.
He is ever ready to encourage a new
tendency in the theater and watches
closely all Improvements that tend
for better mechanics and stage eff
fects. In recent productions notably
those with Chinese atmosphere, Mr..
Belasco produced some wonderful
light combinations, but as to the
probabilities of Mr.. Fitzkee's expert
ments with scenic settings inter-
changeable with light effects his
stage manager said Mr.. Belasco
would have to see an actual demon
stration Of the new idea In scenery
before he would say anything re-
garding it's value to the theater.
Theatrical producers and scenic
constructors are interested in the ex-
periments that are being carried on
toward the reduction in the cost Of
building and the labor of handling
scenery. The mounting cost of theat-
rlcal equipment has increased in ten
years about 100 per cent.
Canvas alone has increased 500 per
cent, so any device that will reduce
the cost of scenery will be warmly
welcomed. 1t will at least help to
keep more road companies on the
long neglected one night stands and
help to keep many worthy produce
lions away from the storehouses.

doses. He gave a unique demonstra-
ton of his skill with Arthur Hop
kins's production of Macbeth" for
John Barrymore, something which
had Already been accomplished by
Reinhardt in Berlin with Hamlet"
In which he used the same scenery
throughout, curtains being used in
stead Of scenes, the tones being alter
nately softened and heightened with
light effects. The effect was simple
and stern.
Mr.. Jones's effort here was not
satisfying to the public. If it had
been attempted with a modern play
the artistic values and results might
have been more generously ac-
claimed, but the attempt to mod
ernize" Stakespeare's fine old plays
found the public unwilling to accept
the change. The synchronizing OF
colors with lights in productions
other than those with which tradi-
ton has surrounded most of the
great roles with certain Characters
tics that are almost as hard and fast
as the laws of the Modes and Per-
slams may be certain of reward, but
tradition demands conventional see
merry for Shakespeare's plays, and no
one is going to be foolish enough to
persist in "clrcusing" the bard
:, However Mr.. Jones, better than
most artistic designers. knows that
the theater is very much alive and
ever ready for the fullest, widest ex-
preston Of the authors thought. He
valiantly attempted to show Mr..
Hopkins how to convey the synthesis
Of color, sound and movement by
supplying the decoration which bound
the whole and aided in throwing
across the footlights a perfect rhyth-
mic presentation.
Margaret Anglin, who has been se-

device which enables one set to do
fer every scenic change necessary in
any sort of play or musical produc-
ton. He can paint on one drop half
a dozen different sets, which when
seen in the ordinary light of day look
like a cublst's tumble of crudities,
but when illuminated with lights of
certain colors reveal artistic inte-
riors or decorative art scenes, each
scene standing out as its particular
soul color" Is projected upon 1t, the
light bringing out only the colors it
is tuned with.
This device promises not only to
revolutionize the art of stage decora-
ton but will make it possible for the
transportation Of scenery in much
less than half the space required
to-day. Instead OF company hav-
ing to contract and pay for the use
OF two or three sixty or seventy foot
baggage cars, the scenery and bag
gage will be conveniently loaded into
a forty foot car, which will be quite
an item of saving to the travelling
company.
Two Scenes on One Curtain.
So far Mr.. Fitzkee has succeeded
in painting two scenes on one cur
tain, making possible an instanta-
neous change Of scenery simply by
changing the colors of the lights in
the baby spots above the stage and
directly under the proscenium arch.
This, he explains, is accomplished
by synchonizing the spouights, foot
lights, border lights and strips with
the superimposed scenic designs.
Under certain lights sympathetic
colors are invisible, and Mr.. Fftzkee
has applied this principle and worked
out his color scheme accordingly.
The desire for unity in the theater
was first manifested In New York by
Robert T.. Jones, who made a study
Of the Max Reinhardt methods and
introduced the new scenic motif in
Granville Barkers production at
Wallack's Theater OF "rhe Man Who
Married Dumb Wife," Mr.. Jones
has had wonderful opportunity to
/ assimilate the modern idea Of play
producing in all its force. He saw
Reinhardt manipulate the dramatic
themes until he extracted both color
and essence and added color and
