‘QUIET WEDDING.’
ro hie EDiroii. Sir.—The Repertory Society’s latest production attains the usual high standard. But must the society ignore one of the elementary rules of stagecraft ? Certain patrons last night were considerably troubled by the glare of tho footlights, only tod well reflected in a couple of pictures hanging on the back wall of the set. It is to be hoped that those will soon be either removed or thoroughly soaped over. Also, when will it be realised that no music at all is infinitely preferable to tho heterogeneous mass of ancient and shockingly reproduced recordings of garbled operatic excerpts, which issues forth from the loud speakers whenever the curtain is down? This is merely unnecessary “ background noise,” which is more trying to the musical than to the non-musical. —I am, etc., Constant Pathon. September 26.
