The Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes have undertaken the responsibility for this entertainment and have created an organisation for the purpose. The charge of 3d. was authorised by the War Office after consultation with General Officers Commanding-in-Chief of Home Commands, and helps to recover some part of the cost of providing these entertainments. It is hoped to arrange that a proportion of seats in the smaller type of entertainment shall be available at 2d. The general evidence is that the soldier in no way objects to paying for his voluntary attendance at an entertainment.
