New Outdoor Theater
Is Colorado Attraction

DENVER, July 12.-After having
been formally dedicated by Rotary
International in June, Denver's great
Theater of the Red Rocks, located
in the Colorado capitals mountain
parks, has taken its place as one
of the Nations attractions.
Amazing as the natural setting of
the theater is to the eye, it probably
is more notable from the standpoint
of the acoustics. A softly spoken
word or note from a muted violin
carries clearly the distance of an
ordinary city block to the back row
of seats and to All parts of an arena,
capable of seating 10000 persons.
This natural sound projection is
made possible because of the pres
ence of great red rock which forms
the back of the stage and which
propels the slightest sound across
the enclosure. On each side of the
arena is fantastic rock formation
nearly 300 feet high, which not only
