NO COST AT ALL The important point is that the winner need not be in the theatre to claim the prize. He can stand outside,, and make his- claim. From start to finish, he does not have to pay a penny to take part in the draw.

If any payment had to be made, "Bank Night" would come under the Lotteries Act.

"I have had legal opinion, and this scheme is not a lottery" Mr. Skillern said. "I anticipate no difficulties unless the crowds waiting in the streets for the an- nouncement of the draw "become unmanageable.

"Next week several important people in the cinema and theatre business are coming down to see" how 'Bank Night appeals to the public.

"About 1000 people entered for Arst Bank Night. Already that number has doubled. I ex- pect that we shall ket about 10.000 people taking part even- tually. The theatre holds about 1200."

In the United States enormous Liuwds gathered to hear the prize- winning numbers announced. Tscheme was in operation in more than 4000 cinemas, and prizes ran from £1 to £200, ac cording to the size of the cinema When the prize had remained unclaimed for several weeks run- ning the prize money sometimes ran into thousands of dollars.
