Chap in those theatres (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seth

'chap' is the definition.

'in those theatres' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SETH' can be found hidden inside 'those theatres'.

(Other definitions for seth that I've seen before include "Old Testament character" , "Adam and Eve's third son" , "Cain/Abel brother" , "Third son of Adam and Eve" , "Indian writer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
