When a Fat Man goes to the theater
he growls because the seats are not
large enough and demands that, some
thing be Done About 1t. He never stops
to consider that everybody is not as
lazy and self-indulgent as he, that the
chairs in a theater are made to fit
the average person. not the occasional
Fat Man, and that their size is reSula-
ted, like any other business proposition
on the basis of a reasonable return on
the investment. There may be Fat
Mans theater some day with big
roomy, comfortable Longing chairs, in
which the patrons may lie back and
grow fatter, but it is safe to say the
good deal more than two dollars seat.
