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. White,
