PICTURE PROGRAMMES.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Having seen and enjoyed the picture, " Disraeli," I can most thoroughly endorse the remarks of " British," in your issue of April 29, with regard to the first part of the programme. To the majority of people who are attracted by the main f)icture, it must be a truly tedious preiminary. Possibly the management is under some obligation to take poor films with good, but they can hardly be compelled to show then* Even supposing that they are, would it not be possible to screen the main picture first eo that people paying for an evening's amusement may avoid having to sit through an hours boredom? In no other class of entertainment does one meet with such indiscriminate mixtures of good and bad as is demonstrated in some picture programmes.—l am, etc., "Fair Deal."
