Different Meaning

Tree Walk by U S Moinduddin
Working Women’s Hostel nearing Completion
Bliss Runners

In the December 2014 issue of Islamic Voice, in the “children’s corner” page, under “Enhance Your Word Power,” the word “theatre” has been described with some different meaning than what is found in all dictionaries. I give an example: Theatre: A building or part thereof or a natural outdoor setting for the representation of dramatic spectacle as plays, operas or movies. A room with seats rising stepwise for lectures or any performing arts.
I think, due to some inadvertent error, the meaning could have been wrongly furnished in your paper. As children are expected to read and learn the meanings, the mistake may be corrected.
