The Theatre Royal
! Sir, —Mr G. R. Masdonald’s re- : collection of a stout lawyer’s pre- : dicament at the opening of the : Theatre Royal prompts me : offer you a like but later one. : The hero on this occasion was a stout stockbroker who, during the interval, swung' right round in his seat to talk to friends behind, found his legs trapped be-
tween it and those on either side, and spent the rest of the evening with his back to the stage and a fixed, agonised grin on the face he could not turn from the cheaper stalls. He was unscrewed, at curtainfall, by the stage carpenter. It was in the same seat that I once saw another stout customer, a shipping man, .scooping chocolates from an outsize box, cramming his mouth, and munching them up, wrappers and all.—Yours, etc., THE* LITTLE DOG. March 7, 1958.
