It is a mistake to think that thea ters, like tho Auditorvfium and tho nilppodromo are tho biggest things ever built. The sclf-comnlacont the- fe. , ..: .,. .,... sands of seats in theso theaters and pities tho poor man that lived in ages post. The largest regular thea- ftor In Chicago is tho Auditorium, which seats 4,020. Even this hardly can tie clased with the theaters that IpiavG shows every night, for 'it Is sol- loin used. Tlio uoiiseum is sup posed to seat 15,000, but cannot bo Kcalled a theater. Orchestra hall holds 2.55G and tho Casino 2,100. ut al of these would look small be side somo of tho auditorium built by tho ancients. Ilerodes Atticus built a theater at EUUhens to commenunorato his wife's taamo. It hold 00,000 people. It was Fconnectod with tho Dlonyslnc thea- Fier by n long passageway, so that If fetho theatergoer couldn't II ml a seat ilio could go next door and probably Iflnd one amongtho 30,000 seats in fihat theater. Tho theater built by I Pompey iu 55 13. C. .seated -10,000 Ipeoplo, and a theater erected by iAomlllUB Scaurus meroly as a tom- porary affair, held 80,000. Furthermore-, theso theaters ox celled In magnlilcont decorations tho ones that nro built now. They also had many mechanical contrivances that aro common now. Ono of them at Romo wns built on a plan that Is even moro ingenious than tho sinking t tank of tho Hippodrome or tho two Btages of tlio Madison Squaro mentor. This theater, or rathor two theaters, iwaa built on pivots. Tho theaters were of wood and woro soml-clrcular in uhapo. In tho morning thoy woro turned around back to back and inado two theators, In tlio aftornoon tlio two Jinlf circles woro swung around again and made ono theater of u, circular shape. The prototype, of our flying uaIet was tho Grek actor who plyaed'tho part of a rod. The god appeared on tho scene dangling In midair at tho end of a rope. The gods In the shows staged by Inlgo Jones in the sovontenth century came out of the clouds or mounta Ins which opened up and the god appeared outlined with colored lights. Sconery came Into use about tho time of Sophocles. Tho back wall of tho Hellenic theaters represented a temple or palace. But movablo wooden scenery and curtains with woven or embroidered figures were shoved out In front of this. In lat er times theso scones were painted by tho great painters of tho ancient world, and wero elaborate. Tho Ro nions had thro sets of sconery, not for thro different acts, but for three different kind of plays. For a tragic drama thoy had facades with col umns to represent a public building. The comic plays wero set In private houses in which wero windows and balconies. Tho satiric drama took placo amid rustic settings with bcenes of woods, mountains and cav erns. In placo of having "sunrlso In fairyland" for act 1, and tho "in terior of Hanks', tho millionaire's, houso" for act 2, tho old Romans had ono scono for tho whole piny. If tho usher didn't glvo tho spectator n program ho could tell what kind of a play it was from tho kind of scen ory, used. Another way tho old Roman could toll about tho play was" by tho theater ho went to. In ono theater thoy produced Roman drama, and In another right beside It was Greek drama. Desides tho rivalry between tho two dlfforont schools of drama thero was n rivalry between differ ent theaters. Tho Roman sonator could drop nround to his friend's house nbout 2 in tho aftornoon and sny: "Qua Vadis, LuBullusAemlllus Marcollus Marlanus? Shall wo go to tho theater of Pompey, of Caesar, or of Cornollus Belbus?" Those tnentora of "Dig Tim," ar today. It was up""-to "the 'candidate for office to give a groateat show ,on earth be fore tho election.

Tho "standing room only" sign Is no new thing. In tho days of tho slmplo llfo nmong tho Romans It was thought effemlnnto to havo seats at all. Tho way Pompey got nround this was to havo a shrine of Venus Vlctrix put at tho top of his theator. The seats wero arranged in tiors ono nbovo nnother. Pompey said that theso seats simply were steps that lead up to tho Bhrino of Venus, but, of course, on Bhow days there would be no objection'to using the steps to sit on. In the days ot Ellzabetk tke peo ple in tho pit had no seats nt all. Tho plays wero given in tho open ccurt of an inn, with no covering for tho men in tho pit. In these Inns whore n balcony ran about tho courtyard, there wore boxes for tho hlghar classes. Desides tho "gentle men's rooms," as tho boxes wero called, there woro "two pennlo rooms." Later tho innyard gayo way to regular permanent buildings that assumed the form that thoy havo now. Tho critics of today decry the growth of mechanical devices and tho degeneration of tho literary side ot tho' play. 'As far back as Den Jonson's day they were doing the same. Den Jonson and Inlgo Jones got up somo plays together, Jonson writing tho plays nnd oJnes supply ing tho stago contrivances. These wero gorgeous and costly, with build ings and landscapes and clouds and mountains. Jonson got only as muck for his libretto as Jones did for tho stage effects. He did not think that he was getting tho square doal, so he wrote a satire to get oven. He used tho expression, "Painting and carpentry are the soul of tho stage." It took longer to build tho first theater in Athena than if took to build the Chicago poatoKc. An ac cident occurred In 500 B. C. to tho wooden theater and the Athenians decided to build a permanent theater. This was not finished un til 340 D. C. Largo bronze jars were placed in the back of tho ancient Greek theaters because it was thought that thoy would catch and repeat tho re verberation of the actorB' voices. These vases were tuned In the chro matic scale. In the theaters of the Athonlans atones were rolled in metal jars to represent thunder. See' Haines' ad. on page;8. Toys, dolls, notions.
