BUSINESS RECOVERY
SHOCK OF WAR OVER
[Per United Press Association.]
WELLINGTON, September 13. Though there was a marked falling off in business at Wellington for the first two or three days after the announcement of war trade has picked up since then, and is now baok to normal, according to managers of firms. The general attitude of customers seems to be that it is their duty to carry on with their normal activities as much as possible. Picture theatres, which are usually one of the first types of business to suffer during a falling off in trade, are attracting normal business. For several day's after the announcement of war, however, there were smaller attendances than usual. For the time many persons were spending the evenings at home listening to the news sessions, but now they prefer to go out for relaxation. According to one theatre manager most theatres are endeavouring to provide a programme which will ohable patrons to forget for a while the international situation, and gorge films have been withdrawn voluntarily bv the exhibitors because they were considered unsuitable at present.
