WHY NOT BE IN TIME?
tho Elnha-n amncrat.


st. Louis, Mo-, Oct MANY of us
are greatly annoyed, when attending
the theater, by those who seem to en-
joy coming late and spelling the pleas
ure of the ones who make it a rule
to be seated before the curtain rises.
Will you give us your assistance and
see if you a get the arrangements
of the various theaters to insist that
all their patrons shall be seated be-
fore the performance begins and to
make it an invariable rule that no
one will be seated after the curtain
is up? By being disturbed and hay-
ing to rise and let some tardy arrival
be seated n frequently loses the cue
to the scene that is upon the stage
and the evening enjoyment is often
thereby spoiled.
A THEATER GOER.
The above applies equally to San
Antonio. The people who come late
are as great a nuisance as those fell
lows who are trotting out between ey-
cry act for drinks.
