"A hundred civic theatres man ned 'by second-rate professionals would not create renaissance of drama in Britain, but 30 exemplary theatres manned by first-rate ac- tors eventually would." It decries what it describes as the tendency by local authorities to plump a civic theatre "cheek by jowl with the new town hall, the |fire station, the technical school, the youth club and the shopping | centre." "The living theatre should not be indiscriminately included in this municipal box of tricks . .* the birthrate of white elephants must not be encouraged." The Arts Council last year spent nearly £600,000 in public funds, including close to £500,000 on music, ballet and opera, £63,000 on drama, £27,700 on art and £1,129 on poetry. It received £785,- 000 from the treasury, an amount based on the government grant annually of threepence per head of population and a penny per head of population from local author- ities. "Any diminution of the funds now available could mean the im- mediate closure of Covent Garden, Sadler's Wells, the Royal Festival Hall, the permanent symphony or- chestras and most of the repertory theatres," says the report.
