THEATRE POSTERS.
" SUGGESTIONS OF CRIME."
Theatrical pictorial advertisements as shown on some of the hoardings in Wellington. are the subject of a. vigorous protest by a correspondent to the Evening Post. Referring to one particular "pictorial," the , correspondent writes: — "Clearly it is of no use trusting to the respectable sentiments of the proprietors for due and adequate censorship of their exhibitions with such a flagrant example as this, so I must need run the gauntlet of some odium of not minding my own business, and thus trying to interfere in other people's business. But for the sakes of my own grandchildren aloneand for this sake onlyl have the right, along with others in like cases, to protest in the public press against such a positive suggestion of crime being thus flagrantly and daringly exposed to their minds as public example for them to learn therefrom."
