Lovat Fraser was one of the original members of this committee, and the work is being carried on by Mr. Norman Wilkinson and Mr. Albert Ruthcrston—to mention only those names which have already had a place in your correspondence column. At the present moment the committee is engaged in working out the details of a Stage Design Exhibition which it is hoped to hold in the Municipal Gallery of one of our largest Northern cities. It seems possible that this exhibition might, with that already opened in South Kensington, form the nucleus of that permanent exhibition which all lovers of the theatre must wish to see brought into being.
