JACK BUCHANAN
Sir,-In the article on Jack Buchanan (Listener, October 16) it is said, "His first appearance was at a flea pit called "Packard’s Panopticon." This should be
Pickard’s Panopticon and both the man and his music-hall were popular in the years ante D.D.T. He was a showman of the Barnum and Bailey brand and had a wax-works but whether at the Panopticon or elsewhere I cannot say. Probably he showed the first films in Glasgow. ‘It would be interesting to Kriow how he came to name his place "Panopticon." This flair did not leave him, for in the depression years he built a cinema in Glasgow and called it "The White Ele-phant"-and it was white. I hope someone much older than I has his memory stirred by the Panopticon and the people who appeared there, I don’t know where it was!
