The huge chandelier weighs By WILLIAM GAINES NEW YORK Dec. 29—Out of the depression have risen two “theatres of the future” to enter- (tain New York's show-going pub- e, | Within a few days a huge thea- !trical venture enters the operating {stage when L. 8. Rothafel, better ;known as “Roxy” opens his two new snow palaces, the “RKO- !R,oxy" and the “Radio City Music | Hall.” | Dety the financial jJinx that | has m; managers complain about |the many theatres in New York, |the two new ones will add approx- ‘Imsmy 10,000 seats to the city's | accommodations for recreation seekers. | Movies in New Roxy The Music Hall, called the largest indoor theatre ever constructed, has 6,200 seats. Tt opens shortly with pageantry of the entire theatre,” Roxy has announced. The bills expected to include min- |stersy, the circus, orchestras, bal- lets of both modern and classical variety in many forms, a la |chorus, a large symphony orch tra, dramatic sketches, and sp2 tacles. ‘The house, equipped for motion ! pictures, will show them only oc | casionally to supplement the | show, 'if present plans hold. | The New Roxy, with 3,500 seats is scheduled to open tonight. Em- ph this house will be on motion pictures, but it will have istage entertainment a! Both theatres are equipped for broadeasting of features from the |stage, with a radio innovation— the ribbon miscophone—employed for the first time. Everything Is Modern The theatres have a certain | similarity in the ultra-modern de- sign of their limestone exteriors, ornamented with metal stripping and plaques, and the egg-shape The folder- ols of old-fashioned theatre archi- tecture are conspicuously missing in both, and intricate lighting sys- tems are depended upon for much of the color effect. Each house boasts of long strides | forward in engineering. Modern contributions. to the science of | acoustics, lighting and handlin, | of stage settings and properties are essed. Triple elevator and re- | volving stages, contour cur and, in the music hall, a color gan with 900 controls—to di the house lighting scheme—are j |a few of the improvements. Particular treatment of 5, smoking rooms and men's powder rooms by outs ing mural and decorative artist glves the two theatres an elabo- ration places of entertainment. In the Roxy, the men's smoking room is decorated with"photo mu- rals—enlargements of .photographs six.feet- high—commemorating his- toric events in aviation amnd other fields. This is the first time, it is said, that this form of wall decoration 'has been used. o — MORE THEFTS €OMMITTED tage nd- It 'is getting goed ~when they steal your reputation.
