that there is still time to over

New Ziegfeld Theatre
Opens Tonight With.
"RiO Rita"

The new Ziegfeld Theatre at Sixth
Ave. and 54th St., which opens to-
night with "Rio Rita" new musical
comedy, introduces new note in the
atre planning and construction; a
theatre to house the lighter forms OF
dramatic entertainment, opera
comique, musical comedies and re-
vues. Every detail has been consid-
cred to make the playhouse wholly
harmonious background for the pro-
auctions contemplated.
The Ziegfeld Theatre was designed
by Joseph Urban, who has become
famous in this country for his stage
settings and productions for the Met
ropolitan Opera.
Considered from the outside, the
playhouse clearly expresses the pur-
pose of the building. The auditorium
is indicated by the bow on the street
side and the stage is represented by
ornamentation of false proscenium.
Two large Mosques, the conventional
dramatic symbols, are used at the
foot of the proscenium opening.
Within the four walls the theatre
offers many radical departures. The
auditorium proper has been con-
structed in the form of true elipse.
This procedure does away with all
angles, adds to the acoustics and
lends itself to simplification in the
mo Of IL
was designed by Joseph Urban and
executed by Lillian Gaetner and the
Urban Studios. The motif of the mu-
raj is the joy of life. 1t treats in a
symbolic way the lovers of all ages
and the festive occasions of living.
The treatment is after the tapestries
of the Moyen age, except that bril-
liant colors ar used. The theatre
