About the Municipal Theatre
MAGGIE.
Sir, — While everyone is talkiug about trees, F'd like to say something about our theatre. The present arrangements are — to my way of thinking — a fair scandal. Human life, taking it by aud large, is of more importance than birds, mucn as I love them, and if something isn't done to the gallery of the theatre there will be lives lost yet. There waa nothing but a dog light last week when Gladys Moncrioff was here, with respectable married women having to edale horizontal bars to get in the queue they were rightly entitled to. What I want to know is why there ean't be an "early doors" queue ; why the doors can't be opened early. even if people do have to sit in the dark (they are, most of them, young, so they wouldn 't piind) ; why single seats can 't be put into the gallery; why an aisle down the middle and along the back can't be made; and why more tieke ts are sold than there are eeats for, and why there can't be light enough to foad a programme in the interval. Mark my words, Mr. Editor, it's jhst about time somebody did something about that theatre.— Yours, etc.,
Hastings, June 29, J937.
