THEATRE QUEUES
Sir,—Regarding the above, I think a number of readers will agree with me, that proper supervision should be given to the conduct of theatre queues. The present system of selling boxes at 6d each, which are supposed to hold one person, in the order in which the boxes are sold, may be quite a good idea if adhered to, but when, as in most instances, six or seven persons occupy the one box, and do not arrive to take possession till long after others have taken their place, dissatisfaction naturally arises with the system, which, I understand, is not governed by the theatre management. Certainly being allowed into the theatre at an early hour is a decided boon; this, of course, refers to the "gods," and if this part of the theatre were not so well patronised then I think the performers would lose quite a lot of enthusiasm and applause, which patrons in other parts of the house seem either too shy or selfconscious to give. Those responsible for tho management of the theatre might well be advised to take the matter up and seo that everyone gets fair play, which is not the case at present. Theatre Enthusiast.
