One nice thing about going to the
theater is the free information dis
pensed by the people who sit near
you in the audience. Directly behind
you, usually, is the Man Who Saw the
Play in Chicago, and who regaIes his
companion and all who sit near with
details of the plot, carefully explain
ing and anticipating the events of the
next act. He tells what actors he saw
in the play and how much better they
were and informs you that the road
companies never carry such good
scenery and costumes as the ones
that play the big towns. From that
he branches off into a between-act
dissertation on theatrical affairs In
general. When the actor makes
curtain speech he says: That's the
same talk he gives in every town.
Somebody wrote 1t for him and he
learned it just as he did the lines ill
the play. Same way with the inter-
views in the newspapers. When
reporter calls on him he hands out
one of a bunch of ready made inter-
views his press agent fixed up for
him at the beginning of the season.
O.. Colonel Washington! What
would life be without you?
