A reader would definitely like to learn who was (is?) Louise Davies. At present, the article does not mention a word about a person whose name stays first in the descriptive title of the largest SF symphony hall. Olorulus ( talk) 07:06, 24 May 2014 (UTC) reply

Louise M. Davies was the primary benefactor who gave $5 million toward its construction. She died in 1998 (27 years after her husband). https://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/25/arts/louise-davies-98-who-gave-san-francisco-a-concert-hall.html Matthew Vaughan ( talk) 04:07, 3 August 2019 (UTC) reply

As I don’t understand this, I looked for rake in Webster:
rake noun …
Definition of rake …
1 : inclination from the perpendicular especially : the overhang of a ship's bow or stern
2 : inclination from the horizontal : slope
I still can’t understand this "rake" here, sorry. Are these: steps upwads that put farther seat rows up a bit higner for better viewing there? Perhaps someone could clarify this please. Thank you – Fritz Jörn ( talk) 16:54, 20 January 2022 (UTC) reply
