How to satisfy patrons by providing them even with standing room, and a,t- the same time to satisfy, the city council inspector's demands for clear gangways was the problem that bothered the manager, Mr. J. Allan Macdonald, last night," when the Palace', was packed in ill: parts.'. The crush was justified, for the programme was one of the best that has ever been presented io_ Palmerston audiences. The- theatre being one of the best' Ui,,New Zealand, ;it: has a .special^ heating;'• apparatus in-;" stalled, and-witt-the cosy- seats, the beautiful projection,- and. : lovely music;there is no wonder that,picture patrons, make thi6 their . favourite -. house of ■ amusement.
