Design Training to Be
Given.
Bv the Assoctated Press.


CHICAGO, December 10. - Drama
entered the official category of the
fine arts at the Chicago Art Institute
with the establishment of a depart
ment for the study and practice of
acting, playwriting and costume de-
sign, and when the construction of a
theater to house these activities was
begun.
The theater will seat about 700 per-
sons. It's architect made investiga-
tions in Europe and incorporated
many special devices for the rapid
and convenient handling of scenery
without the usual means. The chief
of these is a sky dome over the entire
stage. which obviates the use of drop
curtains for exteriorS. and of nova Bile
floors on which an entire setting. with
Its furniture and actors, may ride to
positions within the proscenium.
The entire plant was a gift of Mr.
and Mrs. William owen Goodman as
memorial to their son. Kenneth

died in service during the war.
Thomas Wood Stevens, for the last
10 years head of the laboratory
theater at the Carnegie Institute of
