The Washington herald., 1914-05-28

Motion Picture Editor: As one Of your
correspondents has gone into the question
| Of ladies' hats at picture shows, am re-
minded that small boys can be useful
sometimes. At show one day two wom-
en- wearing large hats with towering
plumes, seated themselves complacently
to enjoy the program. although the peo-
pie back Of them were thereby deprived
| OF the privilege. And q boy In the rear
called out: Ladies, kindly remove your
hats" when both women started and
| took them on In q hurry, evidently
thinking the call came from an usher.
Whereupon the usher came forward ana
| scolded the boy. while I wanted to give
the enterprising urchin q reward.
1t has often been . wonder to me why
the men are compelled to remove their
hats while the women are not; even the
suffrasettes are allowed to keep them
on. HINDA BURKE.
