TOWN HALL LIGHTING.
Sir, —May I give two bits of information to my anonymous friend " Musicus," one to enlighten him, the other to gladden his heart? Tho first is that nil public singers'of any experience will" teti you that they can sing best to a darkened auditorium—there is a psychological reason for ibis. This being the case surely the same applies to a body of singers? The other is that "Musicus" will no doubt be delighted to hear that, so far as I am persoually concerned, I can promise him that, in future, he will be able to read his score at any concert lie goes to in the Town Hall, and further—this | will possibly please him oven more—that everybody else will probably be able to see him reading it. Thanks to " Musicus" I now cee the error of my ways. Evidently I have been trying to do something that has never been done before, and I realise, that for this crime, there can be no forgiveness. Arthur Faikburn. New Lynn, August 11, 1926.
