To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sih, —I have a few remarks to send you with regard to the way in which the prices of ad mission are changed about by the present ]SjmW °^ tie ■^rlnce °f Wales Theatre. there is anything worth a i_r to see or loa,; ak *k° theatre V el JLpnce3 arc at once doubled, and fVfIF -' ie °1J Btocl£ comP any resumes business rices are immediately reduced again to "^Jit I consider they ought always to be —3.., *__; and Is. —consequently people at once know that there will not be anything worth going to see. Now, sir, I think that this way of playing fast and loose with the Auckland public will soon be seen to be a failure. People that can afford a shilling will not go while tho prices are all ut the low rate, because there will be notbing worth going to see, and when they are raised it is too much. I think it is only fair that if we are to have acting, and the lessee wishes to make it pay, that he should have a fixed scale of charges, and allow the public at least to take the good with the indiiferent. I am, &c , Million Prices.

THEATRE ROYAL.

An entertainment consisting of performances of soi-disant cannibals, ex-mountain devil?, and late human llesh epicureans of tho Fijis, was given last night. The exhibition is of a very interesting character, and is well worth seeing. Fijian ceremonies, songs and dances were introduced and performed with great modesty, precision, and unanimity. The whole is very amusing, and as \ro have said worthy of a visit. To-night will be the last per formanc?.
