Acoustics Expert Tells
What Makes Good Hall

Urbana, nl.-The ideal concert hall,
to assure the greatest comfort to hear
ers and players, should have sound
absorbing walls around the audience,
but should be left bare and rever-
berant at the musicians end.
Prof. F. R. Watson of the Univer-
sity Of Illinois, an authority on acous-
tics, has sought to explain by scien-
tiflc experiment why no one can really
enjoy music In the rooms where the
musicians find conditions best for
playing. In a forthcoming issue of
Science he states that the circum-
stances in the same room must be
quite different for playing and lis
tening. BY shifting the sound-absorb-
ing materials that take up the excess
reverberations, from one part of a
room to the other, he was able to pro
duce the acoustically perfect chamber
that satisfied both audience and per-
formers.
A clear space around the stage al
lows easy generation of sounds while
the deadened walls in the other end
reduced their intensity and reverbera-
ton to the greater comfort and pleas
IRE of the listeners.
