TOWN HALL LIGHTING.
Sir, —It is t» be hoped the Town Hall authorities will not be influenced by your recent correspondents who would condemn patrons of the concerts to sit in darkness. Such entertainments are intended to be educational, not merely spectacular. The slight flutter of programmes alluded to by one writer is evidence that a large proportion of the audience intelligently follow the sentiment of the words, so beautifully expressed in music by the performers, but ii reference to the words were rendered impossible through absence of light much of their meaning would be lost. .A printed request 011 the programmes to turn them quietly would surely be effective. Those who "love darkness rather than light" should avoid such concerts; they would find what they want at the picture shows. I am confident that were the audience denied the privilege of using their programmes the door takings would materially suffer. Lux. - " • "
