ANOTHER THEATRE "pEsT"
ShrilI Whistling, Cat Calls and Yelling
Should Be Stopped.

Talk about impoliteness in get
ting up and leaving just before the
final curtain, tits a Circumstance to
the whistling, cat calls and yells
that come from the gallery before
and during the whole performance"
said a theatre patron last night
and "it ought to be stopped, such
outlandish noises are enough to
give any one the jim jams"
To any one with at all sensitive
nerves these noises are decided
nuisance and the management
should by all means put a stop to
them. Applause is of course all
right but there is a way to do it
decently and a few cali downs
would put stop to it. Such noises
as were made by the gallery last
night would not be tolerated in
most theatres and the manage
ment would win the everlasting
gratitude and favor of the theatre
going public if it would make an
effort to have it "cut out.
