Samuel I'arker and I. J. Oilier. The I'alace theater occupies a frontage or. Michigan st.. of 103 X'et. extendine,' back one-half block to the alley in the rear. Th architecture is of the Spanish Ilfnalsance period, with white tile and delifate colored trimmings. Irinnen; cathedral windows decorate the front of Iho building and an enormous canCpy covering the side-walk extends fLcros the entire front. The box office Is located at the fouth end of the lobby and faces directly on the sidewalk wnero patron will htcure tickets before entering the. building. The visitor is Immediately impressed with the fpacious and artistic lobby with its vindlns staircase, it3 lofty balconies and towering arches, all wonderfully Illuminated by three massive chandeliers arid countless border lights. Fix entrance and exit doors open directly into the main floor auditorium. I'pon entering the auditorium, one J sain astounded by the imrneneity of the structure and the unusual Capacity of this playhouse. The lower floor and boxes contain 1400 seats, end in the balcony the pently rising levels accomodate 111 00 more, making a total capacity of 2700 seats. Individual party boxes horseshoe the front of th balcony extending clear arroft the housv. Halcony patron will find staircases of easy approach on each id- of the foyer leading to mezzanine and balcony s. at.s. Here there

are promenades and alcoves with j Landsame drapes and furniture f rom j Marshall Field v Company of Chi-j cao. all d:snfl particularly for!

thl theater. The lot: and box Chairs are of special design and were secured through the J. C. Hl!-worth store. The absence of marble will b toted as concrete and ornamental plaster has been used throughout the building. This ha been found tnoro practical and the possibilities of artistic decoration are unlimited JThis work was done by the Habka J'iaster company of Chicago who l;ave embodied the results of a life

time of decoration study. The general color scheme is two-j toned Ivory, hlh-lifrhted with blue! and jrold. The box draperies and I

kanptins for the prosecenium arch axe. of handsome crimson velour With heavy pold fringe. It will bej noted that through the entire the-j ftter. including the stae trimmings, rothlr.?: but the most expensive and genuine material has been used, gome of the hand-embroidered work and heavy gold lace is of finer texttire and of rnoro Intricate weave than that found in many private homes. These wonderful hangings Mere also secured from Marshall Field. Every detail throughout the theater, has been supplied for the comfort cf the patrons and has been given careful thought and attention, fcven to the peats, which are upholstered In leather and air-cu-hioned. They were furnished by the Steel I'urnlture Company of Grand Rapids. The carpets are from Albert Pick and company, of Chicago, and harmoniously blend with the theater's decorations. In addition to the artistic features of the lobby, the mezzanine promenade, the foj-er and alcoves, ther 1 & play-room for the children, in charge of a competent nurse, and two retiring rooms for women, a? well as a smoking room for men. A ladles' retiring room, of the boudoir type with writing tabic, telephone) and maids in Attendance is on the ta'.cony floor. The cross aisles ar broad and unobstructed from exit to exit. There are 2Z exits, and the house, even with Its enormous capacity, can be emptied in two and a half minute. Ample tire escapes easily accessible fron, the upper levels were ?upplled
