NOTES In Paris theatres the rule is being enforced that on three nights in the week no one is allowed to enter the theatre except in evening dress, as in pre-war days, and the result is that on these’ nights the theatre presents a brilliant spectacle. On one occasion in the Theatre Franeais, which is a very beautiful building, an Australian visitor to Paris had an amusing experience. She was sitting in the middle of the front row of the dress circle, and had put her long white kid gloves on the ledge in front of her. Presently an attendant came up to her and very courteously requested her. to remove them, as they “spoilt the line of the circle. ” And as she looked around she realised that they certainly did, and hurriedly removed them.
