Suggestions for Thenter Managers
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


l desire to suggest to the managers of
theaters two reforms for the benefit of
patrons. One is to announce on the pro-
grams the probable length of each wait be-
tween the acts. If this were done the men
in the audience would know whether they
would have time to go out for little fresh
air. or some other article equally as good
(Mrs Nation permitting). AS it Is now they
are just as apt to go out during short wait
as during long one, thereby causing con-
fusion and annoyance to themselves and
others
Another Improvement would be to have
the popular actors come out before the
curtain instead of having the curtain raised
when receiving curtain calls after an act.
This plan would enable the scene shifters
TO go without interruption. and thereby
save time, go as to have the play end at
d reasonable hour.
At the Lafayette Monday night the per-
formance did not end until after midnight.
Some of the delay was caused by frequent
raising OF the curtain in response to much
well-deServed applause. The management
should see that no play closes later than
II 80 pm. When the play is lengthy it
would be better to begin promptly at 8
O'Clock instead of S:15

school Children at Recess.


Education is the development of the men
tai. moral and physical. The better the
physical development the more chance for
the other two. / understand that many
parents request that their little ones be
allowed TO remain IN the school room at
recess rather than have them hurt on the
street or in the narrow confines" known
as Fairgrounds. Do let future buildings
provide for the physical child. 1t is a
cruel and short-sighted economy to ignore
this matter. There would be less sickness
among children if they had large grounds
in which to play instead of the street
where they run the risk of injury from
cars, etc, or the play room, where they
dance dirt and disease germs down their
comrades throats Even the janitor cannot
prevent this last catastrophe. Z. c. +.
