stitution Hall, it should be remembered,
was built primarily for the comfort of
members of the D. A. r. The seats are
really luxurious, larger than the usual
theater type of seats, and are the same
in every part of the hall, regardless of
what differences may exist in admis-
sion prices.
The building is of stone construction
throughout, and said to be absolutely
f1reproof. The acoustical treatment is
most elaborate, and claims to eliminate
all echoes. No expense seems to have
been spared in assuring admirable heat
ing, lighting and ventilation. The CEN
trail portion Of the roof is studded with
prism lights to produce daylight effect
when desired. while the most modern
type Of DINNER systems assures the
proper meditation of the lights during
a concert.
Constitution Hall has more than a
dozen main entrances. Three of these
are located at the front of the building,
on Eighteenth street, with five en-
frances each on C and D streets. The
D street entrance is equipped for the
arrival and departure of patrons in
motor cars.

Orsanists in Special Meeting

AT it's final regular meeting OF the
"A season the American Guild OF Or
ganists. District of Columbia Chapter,
gathered Monday night in the choir
room Of the Church Of the Epiphany.
Members and friends numbering so
filled the room TO capacity. The plan
was to elect the dean and subdean for
the coming season. However, due to the
fact that the ballots were mailed TO
the members rather late during the
previous week, it was deemed wise to
DELAY the election for few days in
order to allow all who wished to do
so, an opportunity to send in their bal
lots by mail. The dean therefore, desig-
mated tomorrow night as a special meet
ing night for the specific purpose of
conducting the election to fill these
ofices which lacked majority vote
when the election was held May s.
The special meeting will be held at
Epiphany Church choirroom at 8
O'Clock. All members are urged to vote
either by mail or in person at the
meeting.

years at st. Patrick's Church and is a
recognized authority on music of the
Roman Catholic Church.
The two great field masses held some
years ago in the Monument Grounds
under the auspices of St. Patrick's
Church were notable. Miss Glennan
had charge of the music, which was
rendered by a choir of 200 voices, as
sembled from the various Roman Cath
Ole choirs of Washington. These serv-
ices were attended by congregation
of $4,000.
The custom of having the congrega-
ton and choir alternate in the singing
of the plain chant Credo, quite general
in Europe, was inaugurated in st. Pat
rick's Church two years ago. Congrega-
tional singing, developed and fostered
by Miss Glennan, has become feature
of many of the services.
The choir will assist today in the clos
ing solemn mass at the Shrine of the
immaculate Conception In connection
with the Catholic University finals.
