CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENTS.

BONG KOKO
SIE, Through the convenience of your columns, may I draw to the attention of promoters of concerts, bazaars, and enter. tainments, the discomfort endured by the audience owing to the inadequacy of the dressing-room accommodation.
To give only two instances of children's enjoyment being spoilt, at the M.C.L Bazaar there was no obvious notice of any convenience, and on enquiry it was de scribed as “hidden away behind a stall," At the Christmas Revels at the Theatre Hoyal, the children were naked to sit for three hours without relief. On such an occasion it is quite a simple matter to supply temporary fittings to each section, and equally important that prominent notices of direction be displayed.Yours,
etc.,
