PICTURE THEATRES.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —May I offer a suggestion to Dunedin picture theatre managers? In expressing the wishes of mvsclf and many of my friends, would it he too groat a favour to ask that_ a clock bo placed in a prominent position in cadi picture theatre, the face of the clock sufficiently lighted to make the time visible to all patrons? The darkness makes a watch of no value, and it is so easy and annoying to miss one’s tram or bus. This frequently happens. Last Fridav night. 1. with several others, visited one theatre. On inquiring wo were told that the show ended at 10.20 p.m. Our surprise and indignation may be better imagined than described when, on coining out, we found it not 10.20 but 10.40 p.m., and the last train away to Mosgie). I believe tins is quite a common occurrence, ami it is astonishing that the public lias „remained so long silent. Another theatre has not only a clock, but finishes punctually each night—surely a good example to others.—l am, etc., Suburbanite. November 20.
