DRESS GOING OUT
The evening dress' custom in. West End theatres, after V brief' return to general adoption, shows every sign of passing out of existence (says the 'Daily Mail's" dramatic critic). Twice within the last fortnight I have been invited by managers to dispense with "dressing" for their shows, the managers having decided that one of tha principal drawbacks .to .filling .the dearer seats on -week-nights is the disinclination of business mien to rash, home from the city and change into uncomfortable clothes when they feel the need of relaxation. The jproportion of audiences in . evening dress, apart from those at first-night performances, has grown noticeably small« 9 during the past few months. Whereat a year ago at least 75 per. cent, of th» stalls occupants in any West. End pityhouse wore "dressed," it is imnm»l nowadays to find the proportion higher than .30 per cent. . .
