of one of the PENNSYLVANIA Avenue par

But while the 'mashcr" doesn't trouble

patrons. scores upon scores of them, who
do. In tho average f1ve-cent theatcr there
are no reserved seats, it being case of

at almost every performance there is
somebody who complains loud and long
because they had to sit way back or

Other complaints come to her from the
patrons who don't happen to like the
films on exhibition at the particular per-
