The interior oi the Coliseum will be transformed into a "bit of old England" in recognition of the improved international relations which have been brought about this ,·ear. The huge auditorium will take on the aspect of a great English garden, with a panorama one mile long glorifying historic spots and events , along with an unbroken hedge of 700 feet. Kat only will the main floor of the Coliseum be brilliantly decorated, but the balcony, the north hall and the, south annex like·wise, in scene and lighting effects, will carry out the motif of nature's beauties. Two other points, acoustics and ventilation, have also received close attention and these problem , which are necessarily encountered in indoor events have been solved ingeniously by Samuel Asch, noted exposition builder, who created the decorative scheme for the show. Long regarded as the most important motor car display each year in America, the Chicago show will attract many thousands of visitors from all over the Central \Vest, South, Southwest, Northwest and Pacific Coast. Particularly large outpourings will come here during show week from the great motor centers of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois where most of the nation's automobiles and a gre.at proportion of accessories are manufactured.
