CANNOT ACC_(M‘T FOR IT Batfling Mystery Acoustios Plays Some # ising Tricks, ® The partial fallure of the acousties of the New theater In New York City, though expert talent was employed produce the best results, has started & discussion of that baffling mystery. The Indianapolis News contributes strange confirmation of the statement as to the chance or unknown factor In acousties. YAt our state fair, grounds, relates the New, ‘was built & large building of stone, brick and glass, called & live stock pavil lon, It has seats in tiers all round and In the long flat space a tan bark arena. It is & handsome structure. Its use was asked for @ popular assemblage and mov- able seats were placed In the arens. Altogether there is room for 12000 people. (The surrounding seats, when used as a live stock pavilion, aceommodate 5000.) | But when the bullding Is filled to capacity, as It w At several of the conc.rts of the National Saengerfest and on the oc- casion of the Bryan notification meet- ing, It was discovered that the my; fous and elusive quality of acoustics had beun attained in the rares: perfeetion! “Here is & grest bullding—of 12,000 Ing capacity—bu/lt for the display of stock at a state fajr, with no thought ot acousties, yet when tried it turns out to be as perfect acoustically as almost any bullding ever built. It i§ & (rlumph ine id!.‘ ope of the greatest of Its kind. But {1t only adds to the mystery of acousties, Ilun it came aboui, none knows. But we all rejolce in the blcssed fact, for Ine dlare hes thus one of the largest halls of ite kind, which hes, what few olher large halls have, perfect acoustic properties. ate ive ———— Dismonds—FRENZER -1tk and Dodge
