the place, but with all it's grandeur
it has an air Of restfulness, so well
have all of its remarkable features
been blended into one stupendous
and artistic whole.
Its $500 seats are upholstered in
a rich looking fabric calle d
''eS'sImc," a mohair velvet, in a soft
rust shade, with black bindings of
the same material. The covering of
the thousands of chairs gives a
rich, luxurious effect, and has all
the well known long wearing quail
ity of mohair.
The seats rise automatically.
They are equipped with tiny lights
for reading programs and each seat
has direct contact with an observa-
ton board in the chief ushers of
fee which shows the exact location
of vacant seats.
There is one section containing
50 seats which are equipped with

On the lower floor are thirty-one
rest rooms and a large general
foyer. Perhaps the most striking
of the rest rooms, or powder

fourteen sided room paneled
throughout, walls and ceilings, with
mirrors. It's rug, which was exc
cuted by SaE<<5gG -zsIs, Sanford,
Maine, is in two shades of blue and
was designed by Donald Deskey,
the celebrated young interior dec
orator who was in complete charge
of the decorating of the entire In
ternational Music Hall project. De
spite its odd shape and other spe-
cial requirements, the rug was de-
livered at Radio City nine days
after the order was received.
The pattern of the rug is very
simple, being made up of groups Of
three-inch dots alternating in shade
and number, but these dots are
picked up by the mirrors and re
fected in an endless variety of com
tions.

Bottles as Windows

In the Klondike region of the
Yukon territory, window glass is
difficult to obtain. So prospectors
and trappers resort to empty bot
ties which they frame into their
cabins as windows. The glass lets
the light in, though making it diff
ficult to see through. The space
between the bottles is chinked with
cement or mud, to keep out wind

STREET NOISES
INJURE WINES
"Cellars" May Soon Be
Installed on Upper
Floors

Paris (UP)-An increase in
street noises has proved the down
fall of the wine cellar. The sci
ence of the wine cellar has come
to the fore with the announce
ment that American hotels and
dealers may install their cellars"
on upper floors and thus avoid
the dangers of vibration.
The French admit that Amerf-
can mechanical genius may be the
means of keeping wine better than
it has been kept in this country.
They have learned about .air-con-
ditioning from the builders of the
new American Embassy, which
boasts every modern appliance in
stalled in the United States.
The French also have learned
about the application of air-con-
ditioning from Auguste Mule,
treasurer of the Waldorf Astoria,
who revealed the New York hotel
will have a cellar several floors
above the ground to avoid the
continual jar of traffic, which
would prevent keeping red wines
clear and so change their flavor.
Cellar experts say that wine
should be kept at between so and
so degrees Fahrenheit. If Ameri-
can acknowledging will main
tain that level at all times, they
admit, the wine can be kept
between in upstairs cellars than
underground.
1t is we'll known that many a
bottle of rare wine has been
ruined by overheating, too much
humidity or freezing.
