BREVITIES In the heart of a fashionable quarter of Paris, surrounded by six story masterpieces of architectural art, stands a merchant prince’s pa latial home, half hidden in the ver dure o f its wooded garden that stretches luxuriously before it, with the flower beds among the trees and an ample velvety lawn. Every night, during the summer, this little oasis of verdure is transformed into luxurious theater, with raised stage and comfortably upholstered arm chairs arrayed in rows in the man ner o f an auditorium, all shrouded and sheltered beneath a transitory floating roof. This— the roof which disappears with the dawn of day, and shrinks to such propor tions that it can be disposed of iri a small truck, is the outstanding fea ture o f the interesting arrangement that transforms nightly an open garden into a closed theater. This is made possible by the fact that the roof is pneumatic— is, in fact, only slightly heavier than the at mosphere. It is composed of a large airtight silk envelope so shaped that when inflated it forms itself into an arch, like the groined roof of vault, long enough and wide enough to cover both auditorium and stage It requires very little support and with guys and light rabies it is re tained in place.— Ilen ry S.
