V 4,There was talk about cuttlna; off
the 'apron from the stage of the Acad
i, em thnt Is, the part of the stage
, which extends into the auditorium.
fThia method of building is no lon?er
i followed in modern thentrcs, the foot
lights being brought up to the curtain
v Hue.
"People think thnt this 'npron' ex-
' tending Into the auditorium has a direct
relation with the remarkable acoustics
of the Aendemy; ns a matter of fact, it
v Has absolutely no relation to it. The
acoustics of a theatre nre naturally in
the auditorium itself, not on the stage.
"What the new Academr manage
ment proposes to do really is to change
the present semicircle footlights of the
Academy stage and straighten thrra.
That is all. The proem semicircle
footlight scheme ii not only wasteful in
room, but removes the actors too far
from the footlights. here the orches
tra pit now exists there will be movn
bis seats for lectures, etc. The floor
of this pit will be portable so that it
can be lowered and raised with strong
jacks underneath.
"When the Philadelphia Orchestra
and other orchestras plav this floor is
raised, and 31 r. Htokowski and his play
era win stand and sit in precisely the
same places on the extension stage as
tney now do.
"The oners docs not nermit its
ringers to come beyond the curtain line
la any theatre so as not to brinjr the
characters out of the picture. So when
' the opera is given the floor is lowered
and the large opera orchestra sits in
the Pit where at orchestra concerts the
conductor and the orchetra sit on the
Stage. That is all there Is to it. It
changes neither the stage nor the audi
torium in the slightest degree.
3Che parquet will be resented by
using the extra spnee gained by
straightening the footlights and by the
elimination of some useless spnee which
exists at present in the parquet itself.
"Thes1 two plans of economy of
space -will mean about 2."0 extra scats,
Bringing the capacity of the Academy up
to more than 3100 for the opera and
lectures, and more than .1000 for or
ehlsCal concerts when the extension
stage is used.

"Birds of a Feather Flock
Together"
Years ago the New York Sun spoke of a certain
play as "the kind of a play that will be enjoyed by
the kind of people who enjoy this kind of a play."
It is possible to judge hundreds of thousands
of people in a rough, approximate way by studying
the publications they elect to buy and read.
This is more often true in the choice of national
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeasaaataaa
periodicals, because in many cities a newspaper
must be taken without a range of selection.
For the purpose of commercial generalization,
a study of a magazine itself is the best way of
picturing the composite reader.
The familiar exception of the college professor
who finds mental relaxation in the shilling shocker
or the anaemic bookkeeper who feeds on virile
tales of men inevitably described as "red-blooded"
upsets a nicety of application as an invariable rule.
However, no questionnaire or other method of
investigation of a circulation leads to as safe a
generalization as may be made after a study "of
the magazine itself.

An Exquisitely Wrought Mahogany Suite in the Chippendale Style
Sketched from Furniture in our galleries, this reproduction embraces those exquisite and delicate details originated by that
superb master of woodcraft, Chippendale himself. The blended beauty of the Mahogany, with its plaques in doors and drawer
fronts and the elegance of the decorative carving, reveal an artistic consistency as graceful as it is charming. The fidelity to
design in workmanship and finish add a beauty to the Suite which well nigh reaches the dignity of grandeur.
