OPEN AIR THEATRE
RE-OPENING IN LONDON. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. July 30. The necessary wartime restrictions of imposing a certain limitation on the accustomed delights of the performances in Regents' Park of the open air theatre have not seriously affected its great attraction for the people of London. “It is no longer possible after dark to show the dawn coming up over the Athenian glades with rosy fingers that in fact were lamp lit,” laments one critic. “But,” he continues, “the summer day is fortunately long enough for two performances to be given in natural light.” The reopening, despite war time difficulties, of this theatre, which has been one of the happiest theatrical initiatives of recent years in London, and the overcoming of the special lighting and other problems which have arisen, is warmly welcomed in the Press.
