PETER PAN. AN INVITATION.

Mr. W. T. Stead, writing of the Lon« don production, wondered whether someone would not "take the theatre and pack it with poor children. It would," he said, "make a thousand kiddies happy the whole of one golden afternoon, the memory of which would never cease to shed a little radiance over their lives." Prompted by this appeal, Mr. Williamson, cheerfully assisted by the whole company, orchestra, and entire staffs, who volunteered their gratuitous services, reserved an afternoon for the children from all charitable institutions of Melbourne to witness the performance of "Peter Pan." To the Heads of all Wellington Charitable Institutions,. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— ln Melbourne Mr. Williamson gave a special matinee of this delightful fairy play to over 2000 of the poor children of the city. Time will not permit of arranging a similar special performance here, but in lieu of that I will be only too plea.sed to welcome as many as possible of the children of Wellington charitable institutions at next Wednesday's (6th -April) matinee. It will be necessary for those in control to advise me as early a» possible re the numbers they would like to send, so that accommodation may be reserved. — I am, etc., BERT ROYLE. (For J. C. Williamson). Opera House, 29th March.
