THEATRE QUEUES.
Sir,-Is there any hope of the City Council doing what should have been dona long ago in the proper regulation of the enormous queues which form at the theatre gallery door when any popular performance is on 7 In no other British citv of the size of Auckland would such irregular proceed ings bo allowed, and it is scandilous that there is no police supervision. At least one police officer should he there to keen the queue in order, and two, i; possible when the door is about to lie opened—for it is extraordinary how two or three people, whose sense of fair dealing * n d honour is wanting, will throw into fusion a crowd of others who have bcni patiently* waiting for several hours, and a wild stampede will ensue, which is positiveiy dangerous. A theatre attendant sometimes mildly attempts to keep things in order, but sterner measures are necessary. A Worto-EE Gaixeryite.
