Summary

The response from Mr. H. W. Ray to 'Here's Hoping,' on the arrangement and difficulties faced by Coronet Theatre. He has often dreamt of a place where one could 'present' films, as opposed to merely projecting them on the screen. For such presentation the Theatre Royal would be admirable. It would be possible to stage prologues in front of the big pictures that should create the right atmosphere before the film flashed on the screen; overtures and intermezzos could be played to colour schemes that are possible nowhere else in the Colony; the music could be fitted to the picture far more successfully than is possible in a place with as difficult acoustics as the Coronet.
