PUBLIC REAPS GOOD Denver Resident Tells Bene fits of Auditorium. HALL BIG ADVERTISEMENT O. N. Davidson Say Building; Is Capable of Holding 12,500 Per son Musicians of City Pre pare to Boost Bond Issue. That Denver regards Us city owned auditorium a Its strongest municipal feature was the statement made yes terday by O. N. Davidson, a prominent citisen of Denver, who is registered at th. Portland. Mr. Davidson is at head of a manufacturing institution in Den ver. "I note," said he, "that you are en gaged in a campaign looking forward to the construction of an auditorium owned and controlled by the c.ty. In Denver we believe that the convention hall is our greatest advertising medium. Since the opening of this building more than a million people hav. attended entertainments or meetings there. Concert Are Popular. The building was dedicated by the opening of the National Democratic Convention July T. 190S. Of the attract tlons offered in the big hall, three pub lic concerts have been tha most popu lar. That th. programmes have ap pealed to the general public Is shown by tha fact that the average attendance Sunday afternoons has been S000 and the Sunday evenings not less than 10. 000. The street railway company pays a portion of the expense of the concert. "Our auditorium has been s.lf-sus-talnlng to date. It 1 rented to th public for entertainment and also to theatrical companies. A charge of 1200 or $300 a night is made. This is a small price for on. can hardly get an ordinary theater so cheaply. Never theless th. year showed a profit, above every expense, of $3000. It Is not prob able that our concerts could be given to advantage in anything except tbe auditorium. Acoustic Properties Good. "If there were seats for only a few thousands It would hardly -o worth while providing the free music, because only a limited number would b. Ben efited. But In a building where 12.500 people can be comfortably seated It Is well worth the effort, it is a remarK able fact that a person can hear equally well from any part of the building. "The building site covers 16 lots and Is 266 by 200 by lis feet. It cost f 106, 000. The building complete cost 50, 000. Tha size of the arena Is 200 by lit feet. Though the convention' hail has a seating capacity of 12,500, we can reduce the seating capacity to 4000. Five thousand electric lights artis tically arranged as sunbursts In the telling make tha Interior almost as light as day. One hour's time Is re quired to make the change from the convention hall to the theater." Professor F. W. Goodrich, represent ing the singers of Portland, and Carl W. StolL secretary of the Musicians' Mutual Association, have announced their Intention to support the campaign for a bond issue for the construction of a public convention halL President Oberender, of the Musicians' Mutual Association, has appointed three mem bers to assist tbe general campaign committee in securing additional sup port for the auditorium project. The appointees are M. Chrlstensen, F. W. Prasp and J. W. Tomllnson. The com mittee will organise all musicians to work for the auditorium. Professor Goodrich in speaking of the proposed auditorium, said: " I know of nothing which will promote and de velop the study of music more than a public auditorium. It stimulates popu lar Interest In a high oiass of muslo when the big artists of the world are secured and an admission price can be PIER SHAFTS COMPLETED Second Caisson lor Broadway Bridge Floated Into Place.
