GOOD taste are questions concerning which opinions
will differ Our own views hercupon have been dis
tinctly stated but we should be sorry to have any in
telligent person deceived by perverson and mis-

MALIGNANT cunning in the pursuit Of mercenary aims
They cannot of course ibjuro the theaters-ior the

they may temporarily deceive occasional readers aud
we therefore advert them here, as journalistic NAL
practices Of recent growth against which the public
should be formally warned.
