CIVIC THEATRE
Sir.—Since the Civic Theatre was re/■jrnished, it has served as a reasonjjjly good concert hall. Unfortunately, » appears that the refurnishing did Jjt extend backstage, beyond the proscenium arch, as concert-goers are spelled to gaze into a backdrop riiich is, in colour, an indelicate shade af pink (with blue lines); and it is joined by a stage ceiling of slightly Liferent hue. These flats are, at best, in poor taste, and, at worst, artistinßy offensive. It is respectfully sugthat they be replaced by others □ore in harmony with the rest of the wniding—Yours, etc., c. b. McLachlan. September 16, 1953.
