Seneca people who attend shows
| here are frequently made to suffer
| indignities at the hands of certain
members Of the audience, which
should be corrected by the manage
ment OF the shows. 1t is the habit
OF some of our boys to applaud and
make personal remarks while couples
are entering. which gives visitors n
| bad impression Of the place, to say
nothing Of the modification inflicted
on our home people. A company OF
representative Seneca people were
| discussing the subject recently, and
the above is the expressed and unani-
nous opinion Of them. and Of course
| should be of all right thinking peo-
pie. Our citizens, particularly our
women and young ladies. have a
right to expect protection at the
hands of the management Of our
shows, and they should demand it.
