FLUORESCENT CHRIS SETS AN 'OH-S Philadelphia.?There's something new in Christmas trees at the Frank-j i lin Institute. The thousands of chil- j | dren and grown-ups who are trooping j into the auditorium to see it, join in emitting delighted "oh?s" and j "ah?s" as periodically the hall is plunged in darkness and the quite ordinary looking tree suddenly glows into a mystic luminosity of its own. Its every needle shining*, this "Magic Christmas Tree" stands like a frozen fountain of pale, greenish light, with the glass ornaments hanging about it glowing in different colors and with brilliant stars of different hues brightly outlined against the black curtains of the background. In the air above it hangs a radiant parachute, while around its foot rattles a luminous electric, train. Rub Their Eyes As the auditorium lights come on aguin. the scene, takes on so prosaic an air that children rub their eyes, wondering whether they imagined its appearance of a moment ago. But a guide explains the. "magic" to them.
