A softening of the illumination would be the only change noticeable. Yet up 'o that instant the municipal p!ant would have been the only source of 'iglit connected with the hall, which has no storage battery. The methodit 'muring uninterrupted illuminatio: at exits, passages and in the arena :s believed here to be unique. At the city plant failed, throwing tpen the switch, ' an interlocking stwitch would close, j-utomati (illy throwing on a light from a commer cial company. The auditorium man. agement considers the plan superioi to a storage battery in the building which might be neglected for lack of use. Continuous illumination is im pr-‘ant to avert possible panic, f hould a cyclone o rearthquake put s-cond illuminating plant also out of business, the commercial company ha' a storage battery ready for use. he lighting of the hall is control!- . ed by switchboards in various parts of the building, the most complicai- ! rd having 191 switches. Affectionately contemplating th« stage switchboard from which the arena will be laved in colored light the chief electricians of the municipa. hall mused, “you can almost talk with it.” Above the stage, above the glass panel) of the ceiling and balcon> ?overs are lamps burning more than 800.000 watt*. They are four color, red white and blue and amber. Thus the hall may be illuminated with white light suggesting daylight, may be painted with a rich plaid, may be inlaid with the national colors, In al. ternating masses, or tinted with deli cate blends. Handles on the switch board regulate mutually resistant currents of electricity which soften or Increase the intensity of any of the colors used. By dimming the red and enriching the blue a violet ef fect is obtained. By heightening the red and shading off the blue a ruddy purple is substituted.
