AN INQUIRY.
[TO I&E EDITOR OF THE STANDAHD.] I Sir, — Cau you expluiu how it is that a decent theatrical company cannot be induced to visit Palmerston. At one time we hayo a fifth-rate combination company, that is voted to be veiy inferior, and not worth seeing. Then ', we have a ;penny peep-show, which appears one night and vanishes the next. But no entertainment of any account seems |to come this nay. Now that tbe lessee of the Hall is going m for " buying houses," to use a theatrical phrase, why does ,he not make an effort to get something, worth going to see?. I, don't believe anybody, was sorry to hear that his last speculation m that way was not ,a pecuniary success, for really the whole ntfair ipras shockingly poor. And I am suro he will lose ;with every similar kind of entertainment (?) Let him giye us something 1 worth going to see, and he will not have to. complain that the public are niggardly m their ; supjpojt,, ;^tit while the entertain men ts a^reojt the " clieap and pasty" s«jyle, public | patronage', cannot be expected, as the [lessee will find out to his coat by-and-i by. — I ani, &c, ', L f ... v | - ; ,.,. ,-. ., -.: Playgoer. ..
