CROWDED OFF.
THEATREGOERS BLOCK FOOTPATH.' "Would you allow: a small space in your much-read paper, to stata the way the Wellington police fail' in doing their duty while plays are going on at the Opera House?" So writes a citizen; and he proceeds: "Fully an hour before the doors open the.. iMtpath in MannersStreet, in front of the theatre, is blocked with a surging, pushing mass of men and women, blocking. tho . street right out to the tram line. .Old people* ladies, and little children are forced into the road' to get past. Trams are running almost every minute at this point. _ We understand the polico have instructions to keep the footpaths clear. What are they doing? I noticed on Monday night one poor policeman trying to do his duty, but on Tuesday two police were asked to clear tho footpath to let aged people pass, but said they could do nothing."
