PROGRAMMES

... To the Editor of THE STAGE Dear Sir.--I go to the theatre about four times a week, which means that in the course of the year I spend about five guineas on programmes. I consider this an extortionate fee imposed by the management for supplying me with the names of the artists in the cast and a comment on the various tings. When I am cnargea us. oa. ior a stall I feel entitled to be told who ...

TERRISS MEMORY

... To the Editor of The STAGE Dear Sir. It may be of interest to Bransby Williams, whom I had the pleasure of meeting quite recently at a Water Rats Dinner, to know that there are still one or two descendants from the old school.

STAGE SETTINGS

... PROTEST FROM SIDE-SEATS To the Editor of The Stage Dear Sir, A protest teems neccssary. For *ome London producers and designers are ignoring the sides of the I house entirely, whilst others, in attempt ing to f be clever, merely kill the audience's eavesdropping illusion. Two nights before Love in Albania folded at the St. James's I Paid 7s. and saw only a fraction of the iction becausc the ...

ON THE LAND

... To the Editor of The Stack Sir--In replying to Oscar Quitak's letter in The Stage, March 30. I feel that although his suggestion be sound in theory it is far from practical. I entertain the greatest admiration for our agriculturists, and acknowledge farming to be of top priority to this country of ours. In view oi this, l do not think it would be fair to our farmers to thrust upon them ...

RETROSPECT

... To the Editor of The Stag* Sir,-- Looking back on 60 years of theatrical fife I often wonder how many actors have had the varied eiperience of your humble servant in West End theatres. In these days beginners get their experience in repertory, hoping for the Mecca of all good artists, but I fear I be at the other end of the ladder joining the little Court Theatre in Sloane-square then ...

THE OLD CANTERBURY

... To the Editor of THE STAGE. Sir.--A sentimental notion of mine has recently gone astray--but because it brought to light the possibility of the Canterbury Music Hall one day being rebuilt, you may, perhaps, be interested. To worry about a forgotten doorway in a dingy lane may seem rather absurd when Lupino Lane, for ample, ha.s been making such heroic eflorts to save, not a bit of falling ...
