THEATRE EMPLOYEES
BAN ON SUNDAY WORK. Theatrical employees throughout Australia will be debarred by the .inion from working on Sundays at .■heritable or other amusements according to a decision of the Federal management committee of the Theat•ictil Employees’ Union, which met in Melbourne. Claims for a new Federal award to cover 25.000 theatrical workers in all States are being formulated by the committee. Several entertainments promoted in Melbourne in aid of charitable objects will be affected by the ban, although most of the staff work necessary is done by organisers or performers acting in an honorary capacity. Each Sunday charity shows arc held in the Princess, Lyceum and Apollo theatres, and Hoyts Regent Theatre is made available on some Sundays of the year to the Charities Board. Four of those Sundays are set aside for entertainers to raise funds for the Lord Mayor’s Fund. Other charity entertainments are organised by the Collingwood Citi'.ens' Band in the King's Theatre, by the West Coburg Band in the Apollo Theatre, and community concerts are held in the Town Hall
