The brilliant lighting can be seen for miles around. Enough current is used to light a good sized town. 2--The famous Villa d'Este near Rome was the inspiration of this stairway and court-like arrangement known as a Roman exedra. 3--Day view of the unique exterior of thé Norshore. The lines are adapted from the modern Italian to harmonize with the Roman of its inside. The combination of the building line with the electrical display is a departure from ordinary theater designing. 4--Part of the 20,000 who at- tended the opening performances. 5--Front view of theater taken at night. 6--A section of the mezzainine foyer and promenade showing the bases of the imposing columns that flank the main lobby. The design is Roman of the period of the Caesars. 7--Chauncey Haines who was brought from Cali- fornia to preside at the grande organ. Classical music and popular tunes are performed equally well by the smiling young organist. native of Sweden and wishes to con- tinue his education in America.
