More Memories of Music Halls of Old

‘" ’ To the Editor Sir,-What a pleasure it gave me, and no doubt other readers as well, especially any who had been in the music hall profession as I have. Of course Mr. Broad’s business was on the boards -mine below the footlights in the orchestra, There are not many theatres or music halls in London where I had not been engaged as deputy and, holding the shop for years, I naturally came across those artists whom Mr. Broad knew. I remember C. H. Cherwin when I was at Gatti’s, Westminster Bridge Road. His first appearance there for 25 years. Mr. Broad states that Kate Carney’s great song hit was "When You're Living Down Poverty Street," but I really think "Three Pots a Shilling" was her greatest hit. But with all that she had to rely a lot on stage assistants for her business. I often wonder what became of Julia Mackay, she was great in "Her Name is Rose." Now, Mr. Broad, do not finish at present.-I am, ete.,
