Restriction Lifted from Sunday Theatres
Following a visit by representatives of the Society of British Dramatic Art to the Lord Chamberlain, arrangements have been made for the jrrfat on tn London of Sunday plays, at which payment at the door will be permitted. Sir Gerald du Maurier , who is president of the society, has stated that it is unfair that r e s t r i ctions should apply, while musical and cinema performances were permitted. Mr. Austin Fryers, chairman of the society , said that it was clear that members of the society may pay at the doors for seats. They must, however , have been members for not less than seven days before the date of the performance. It, however, gives no right to the society to accept money for seats from the ordinary public. The first Sunday performance was given at the New Scala Theatre on July 15.
