The manager the Wo Ping Theatre was today summoned before Mr. N. L. Smith for issuing indecent advertisements. The advertisements were in respect of some pills which were said to be efficacious for certain ailments. The manager was defended by Mr. Arculli. Evidence having been given in respect of the existence of the advertisements, the defendant informed the Court that although he was the original lessee of the theatre and held a licence in his own name, he had sub-let the premises to another man. He had the intention also of transferring the licence over to this sub-lessee. The Magistrate said that the transference of the licence would not absolve the licence from responsibility in the matter. The case was remanded for the making further inquiries, in consequence of the statement of the printer the advertisements who said that he priced them to oblige some friends.
