UNCOMFORTABLE THEATERS
There Are No Arrangements for Per-

Playgoers who yield O the induce
D;ents of the French stage when they
come over here will have learned long
ago from experience what genuine dis
comfort is suffered in theaters. Pa
risian managers cater admirably for
the public as far as the play and the
acting are concerned. When they
come to consider, however, the ques-
ton of mere material comfort, it
would seem as if they felt in nowise
called upon to make allowances for
the weaknesses of the flesh The trials

sized stall, with no available room for
his neither limbs, partake almost OF
the rigor of the monastie ordeals of

flesh the Partisan playgoer has long
submitted uncomplainingly for the
sake of the edifcation provided for his
spirit from the stage. There are now

Besides a degree of material COM

According to the committee Of public
safety in theaters, now sitting, It
would, however, be unwse TO place
overmuch confidence IN this respect in
the arrangements at present made in
some Partisan playhouses. The chair
