25 YEARS AGO
The Picture Craze
(From "The Dominion,” April 1, 1914.) “Secured for pictures!” 'That is the brief commentary on (lie fate of the Wellington Opera House in Manners Street, the very liaudy playhouse that was dedicated to the drama on November 17, .1886 —274 years ago. It is not iu ’Wellington only* that good, well-appointed theatres arc being given over to pictures. In London, New York and other large centres well-known theatres have fallen to the spell of dollars that pictures weave. * « * “The time is not far distant when we shall be constructing new schools extensively which will have open-air class'rooms, in which the whole of one side, and probably part of another side, will be absolutely open to the air.” This remark was made by Mr. R. Lee, chairman of the Wellington Education Board, yesterday at the meeting of the board when proposed additions to the Marnnui School were under consideration. [There arc now open-air schools of similar description in the Lower Hutt district and in Feudal ton, Christchurch.]
