HAMLET AND THE RATS
Sir, —I notice that there were a couple of rats at the Hamlet show recently, and the writer of your paragraph wondered how they liked it. Whether they enjoyed it or not, wc’ do know that this is the only picture that has won so many awards —3l altogether—and although this might not be the taste of the majority of local people, we feel happy .to be able to bring pictures of this calibre to the town from time to time in the hope that those who do appreciate and enjoy them might induce their friends to share their enjoyment. * There are no rats in the Regent now, and I am sure when there are any they cause no one greater worry than myself, not only on account of the damage they do, but because their idious presence is quite as offensive to me as it is to my patrons. Since the recent flood, most business premises on our side of the Strand have had the same problem, but I believe it is now well under control.
I am always at the theatre door after a session, and really enjoy listening to any constructive suggestions from the audience, and I feel that a friendly word rather than a r üblic notice would be far more helpful.
Yours etc., A. R. CHAPMAN.
