Sir John Hare 'to bring down their companies -to give 'private perfor- mances at Windsor (Castle or Bal- moral, It was the present King, George . VI, who started 'the habit of 'the royal family's going to the play instead of taking 'the play to 'the --royal family.

At such 'times 'the royal family sits in a box, but in recent months the young princesses have begun = to take seats in the'-stalls among "their. subjects. Whereas at one time = any playgoer who had bought a stage box for the might would be asked to-surrender it if the royal family wished to visit the .theater, on this occasion no such matter was ever suggested.
