LYRIC PICTURES. SPECIAL NOTICE TO MY PATRONS. IT is with regret that I have to advise the slight advance in the admission charges brought-about by the ever-in-creasing cost of everything required in connection with this business. In the beginning when I made the charge 6d, I realised that the life of this class of entertainment to the Public, was cheapness, and it is with reluctance that I have been obliged to disturb the rate. I have always held, and you will agree with me that labour is entitled to fair payment, and the. : 6ame thing applies to pictures. Twice^ecently the Railway Department hay.# found it necessary to increase freigp/k. Lubricating &nd other powe^ oils hSve gradually risen until they are ndw double the price. Electric light bulbs a^nd all fittings have advanced in price threefold, and all other supplies similar. * There Hs no immediate prospects of any improvement of these charges, and to maintain the excellent standard of my programmes the new tariff will be Circle Is ld, tax included; body of hall 9d; Children 3d. This traiff is still considerably below that charged by Dargaville, Pukekohe, Rotorua and elsewhere for the same programmes. Yours 'faithfully, JAMES STEWART.
