A BAD TIME COMING OVER THERE.
Writing to a Christchurch journalist J from Sydney, under date of January 10, a well-known theatrical manager says: "Things theatrically over here are very bad, and, without wishing to wax pessimistic, there is » bad time coming. Taxation, extra duty, strikes, and now daylight saving, are combinin gto put many theatrical people into pawn. Since daylight saving was introduced the weather has been remarkably fine and warm, and the evenings have been sultry and muggy. It is quite light at .30, and thousands are seen at this hour taking a little recreation in their gardens, on tho sea beaches, playing tennis, bowls, etc., iv preference to donning their dinner jackets and sitting in a stifling theatre. Of course, thero is no question as to ivhich is more healthful, but it is a severe blow to theatrical vested interests."
