MUSIC IN THE DARK
Sir.-Your correspondent "Player in the Dark" was very much in the dark when he made the statement (Listener, May 31) that "the Liberty Theatre, Christchurch, never had a permanent non-playing conductor." The late Ernest Jamieson, well known in Christchurch music circles for many years, conducted the Liberty orchestra (that is, to quote our friend in darkness, he stood and used a baton and was not a player) for several years, up to the time of the introduction of sound films to the Liberty. His predecessor, Mr Arthur Gordon, who is still active as a teacher of the violin, also wielded the baton in the aforementioned manner. In view of this glaring mistake on the part of "Player in the Dark," one wonders just how much credence may be placed on the rest of his information.
