Id consequence orders were given last night for the theatres to be closed tonight, great excitement being caused thereby. A largely attended open-air meeting was held to protest against the action of the authorities m closing places of amusement. It is understood the Premier has taken this action under the Act for the regulation of places of amusement, which empowers him to close such places if a written application has not been made.
