POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
On “Arsenic and Old Lace” “Lucy” writes: "There would be few people in the audience who had not suffered from the heart-breaking sorrow of dear ones mentally afflicted. At first I felt I must go out, but the plot became so manifestly absurd that one could enjoy its nonsense so cleverly portrayed. But why even begin to harrow feelings on such a delicate matter, when there are so many excellent plays to choose from?” J. G. McKenzie writes: “To help overcome the shortage of matches, would it not be possible to put a head on both ends of matches. Two lights could then be obtained from one match, saving much valuable material and labour.”
