as a tent show on ly, the p I on and secti on of the

State Circus of Bukurest reproduced in ACTA SCAENOGRAPHICA (July '64), p 239, may came as a considerable
surprise .* John C. Knight, of Welton Beckett and Associates
writes early in 1964 :hat "The State Fire Marshal's office
has revised the Title 19 Code which deals exclusively with
public bui Iding fire engineering. A section on continental
seating has been included in the code which establishes
working criteria. The code states, in effect, that continental
seating may be used when the distance from the front pro)
jection of the seat to the bock of any seat in front does not
exceed twenty-two inches. This dimension makes it almost
mandatory that a bock-to·back seat dimension be not less
than forty-two inches.··.Our thanks to the following, who
