Applications by barmaids for registration as required by the Licensing Act were received in large numbers at the Labour Department yesterday. The lists close to-day. The public, and the playgoing section of it in particular, will be interested to learn that at a meeting of directors of the Wellington Opera House it was decided to make a forward movement in the direction of providing a theatre which will be a great improvement on the Opera House. With a new Opera House, a new His Majesty’s, a new Theatre Royal, and possibly a new theatre for J. C. Williamson. Ltd., Wellington will be well off m this regard in twelve months' tune, LJ he old Opera House, vastly altered, has become the Resent Theatre.
