It says Positively. Inside, this seems exceedingly strange. Not only that no one is smoking, but that the stage is entirely filled with water. It's | crazy. On most other stages smoking is permitted, under strict | conditions. On a stage full of water, for “The Sea Hawk," you get tossed out (or maybe dunked) if you so much as reach in your pocket in a suspicious manner. “It's the waves,” the friendly policeman explains. “They're highly inflammable.” Unless you are hardened to remarks like that, you might slip toward the exit bastiy but quietly so as not to enrage the inmates. When you've been around town a while, though, yofi {], don’t even say “Hugh?” Inflammable waves seem perfectly credible || phenomena—which indeed they are. | The “waves"—used in the background of the big set where the real water ends—are the device of Anton Grot, the art director.

Behind it is Grot’s dry-water contraption—three vast unbroken sheets of cellophane, one super- imposed loosely on another, all marked by broad, uneven stri] of black paint. When the “water” is lighted, and machinery raises and lowers alternate cellophone sheets, the illusion of a. limitless sea—on the other side of the cyclurgma—-k perfect.
