5000 Besiege Town Hall
Wellington Record SOMETHING like a record must have been set up on Saturday evening when nearly 5000 people besieged the Wellington Town Hall-and a thousand had to be turned away. In the main hall Dr. Malcolm Sargent conducted the Royal Choral Union in Mendelssohn's "Elijah," © more than 3000 seats having been booked two days before. In the concert chamber in the same building the Thespians presented their excellent comedy, "Lover's Leap" to a capacity house of 625. These combined figures, with the performers in both productions, brought the Town Hall figures for the evening up to the . 4000 mark.
