We're not in evening attire.
Clamorers for formal toilets, how
ever, shower the London press with
protests against informal dress and
smoking in theaters.
London theater managers would
like to see better dressed audiences.
So would actors. They say an au-
dience i'll immaculate attire is a great
inspiration. But pounds in the box
office are better inspiration.
George Grossnith, the actor-man-
ager, says he hopes for the return of
the brilliantly dressed houses for
which pre-war London was famous,
but that managers need larger au-
diences to fill larger theaters, and
larger audiences necessarily mean
more mufti.
Theater audiences in London are
now much more generally in evening
dress than Immediately after the war.
For a time dinner jackets were about
the only costume that men seemed
willing to don for the theater. Now

very generally seen i'll better theaters.
