There was little fighting Sunday

VAUDEVILLE NOT IMMORAL
Goer Thinks the Critics Are
Mistaken

Editor of The Banner:-As a regu-
lar attendant at the library theatre l
desire to protest against the mud
against the place by few prejudiced
persons. These people seem to be la
boring under the delusion that the pa
trops of the theatre prefer dirt to de-
cency. The writer does not believe
So The cleanest vaudeville always
makes the biggest hit and the pic
lures of the Passion Play alone crowd
ed the house on Christmas Sunday.
1t seems incredible that any clean
minded person could find five-eighths
of the vaudeville immoral. An occa-
sional costume may be immodest, but
women who consider themselves just
about right in every way may be seen
ON the streets clad in gowns just as
indecent as any seen on the stage.
Likewise all the suggestive songs and
questionable jocks are not confined to
the stage nor even to the common"
people. In a recent attraction at the
opera house the leading comedian
was supposed to be "soused" through
out the play Many of the "Library's"
critics were present and seemed to
regard him as highly amusing. Yet
these sane people cali the man who
pretended to be drunk at the Library
theatre immoral A strange process
of reasoning
Who put the sense in censorship
board that endorses the turkey trot !?
The proportion OF children in the
average audience is very small
When parents admit that they cannot
keep their children at home they
have no moral right to critic the
theatre manager because the young
sters occasionally get a wrong idea.
The censors do not believe that
clean vaudeville can be presented at
ten cents admission. Even so high
minded man as Edward Box, editor
of the Ladies' Home Journal, has
said that it can be, and is being done.
The writer has as high a standard
of decency as anyone. but does not
believe in having two standards-a
rigid, infiexible one for others and a
lax one for ones self. 1t would be
interesting II as great fuore were
created over the many excellent
things presented at this theatre as
the fuss stirred over the few poor
ones | make no plea for coarseness,
but only for
Fair Play
