MISS BESSIE DOYLE'S CONCERT: A PROTEST.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— am not a violin virtuoso, nor have I ever played a note on the violin, but am simply one of the public who wish to enter my protest against the manner in which the public were treated by Messrs. Garner and MacMahon' on the occasion of Miss Doyle's last concert in the City Hall. The management made a great feature of advertising " 1000 seats at a shilling each," and how did they keep faith with the public? When they got the public there in large numbers, partly by means of the above advertisement, they immediately put the price up to 2s for seats even in the pit. That is not the way to treat their patrons, and I hope the public will show their strong disapproval of the treatment they have received from Messrs. Garner and MacMahon. • I notice that 1000 seats at a shilling are advertised for to-night. I trust the public will insist upon there being no shuffling on the part of the management. We all like Miss Doyle, and Miss Doyle's beautiful playing, but I, for one, strongly disapprove of some of the tactics of her managers.—l am, etc., One of the Public.
