boxes, six feet by two by two and a half inches, filled with earth, over
which is put a wire-mesh screen. This is the first time this work has
been tried and it has proved to be a thorough success.



Festival Hall



Architect - Robt. Farquhar of Los Angeles, California, widely known for
his fine domestic architecture.

On the south side of the Avenue of Palms, opposite the Court of Flowers,
stands the building in which the majority of the musical festivals of
the Exposition are to be held.

The main hall will hold three thousand people.

There are about five hundred conventions to meet here during the time
the Exposition is open.

The organ, of marvelous tone and sweetness, is one of the finest in the
world.

Edwin H. Lamare of London will give one hundred performances, each
recital beginning at 12 M. He starts his musicals the first of June.

The building is French in style, having been inspired by the Beaux Arts
Theatre, Paris.
