ACTORS CRITICISED

PLAYS IN LONDON. NEW ZEALANDER’S COMMENT. LONDON, August 14. Caustic comment on London actors is made by Mr. Walter Brodie, of New Plymouth, in a letter published by the “Daily Telegraph.” "I am a visitor to your remarkaole city,” he wrote. “I came 14,000 miles to see and hear its marvels. One of the things I came to hear was your play production. So far I have been to some half-dozen West End plays, each time hoping for better results. “For all the good it has done me I might just as well still'be 14,000 miles away. I cannot hear what the actors say. Do you think you could persuade them to study voice production, or, as an alternative, use amplifiers? When I go home people w'll ask me what plays I heard. lam afraid I shall have to answer ‘None.’ ” lington) v. C. Hutchinson (Waipukurau).
