“ Talkie” Concessions.

To the Editor. Dear Sir, —During these hard times a married man finds it particularly hard to provide entertainment of a suitable character for the members of his family. The small amount of money at his disposal makes this doubly difficult, and any suggestion towards a solution of his problem would be acceptable. I would suggest that, as the talkies constitute a very great proportion of the average working man’s entertainment. so to speak, the managements of the various theatres should meet the married man at least half-way. This could be done by an of concession tickets similar to those available to tram-car users. The concession ticket I have in mind would allow a married man, his wife and family (irrespective of the number) to attend the theatre for the fee usually charged for two adult seats. Better still, I am of the opinion that, should the. managements of the various theatres in Christchurch come to some agreement whereby a concession ticket or tickets would be available in any theatre specified during certain nights of the week, the public, especially the married man with a family, would support it.—l am, PICTURE-GOER
