Somebody has discovered that Kissing
ard applause IN thea ters began some time
during the seventeenth century. As the
medieval plays in France were organizsd
and in isS0 when "Aspsr." by FontenelIe,

the eighteenth century. when the number
O. comedians increased. ard actors felt
more ard more the need CT applause. In
order TO make Il certain. the claque was
hired. There was rebellion against the
rfa1Be almost as soon as the custom was
first introduced. and It's condemnation has
haeu constant ever since But the insufu-
