THE CONCERT CHAMBER.

ACTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.. '■ (To the Editor.) Again a delightful performance W «, Little Thrtatrc Society is marred by the * cious conditions of the Town Hall Co" '°' Chamber, a nd again one asks how much a city of ifhis size is going to lack a tw! or hall in which such societies can be nmf e accommodated. I take it that if til W Theatre Society knew of a better , l would go to it. Last week there familiar and maddening battle with c\-W e sounds, r ,sat in the gallcrv the tZ * m and listers to passing 5 tram cars%fl*» the dialog-uo in Barrio's wonderful satire n g the second ni.sht, so I am informed »i moment fin. "The Monkey's Paw" '«&£?! with the -jOffitformance next door of the <X overture. I do not blame the Rnli • orchestra; Hike the Little Theatre Soffit was trying i M do its duty. But just imagine having to produce plays in a hall w her?» any momeSnlfc an item next door is liabW* overwhelm ;you with sound. It i s not fair < ask men ansd women to act, or audience. U listen, under* such conditions. Surely a sLii theatre to u<rcommodate this society and oth societies of .the same kind—to say nothimr f visiting muisfcians who do not wish to en«n>! the big Town. Hall but who prefer better °cof ditions than those of the concert chamber could be provided in Auckland. EPSOSI~~
