At each Of the three performances
which Forbes Robertson presented
in Oklahoma City the first few mo-
ments Of play were made miserable
for those already seated in the audi
ence by the arrivals OF latecomers.
This was particularly noticeable at
the first performance, The Light
That Failed" Those in their places
when the curtain rose on the highly
interesting prologue were unable to
catch more than a chance word or
two Of the dialogues from the stage
because Of the confusion attending
the entrance of others who were
gradually arriving. This confusion
was maintained for 8 or 20 minutes
in fact. during the entire pro-
logue.
Just what peculiar phase of hui
man nature IL is that causes per-
sons TO reach theaters too late for
the beginning of a performance is
difficult of conjecture. Changing the
hour would help not at all. If the
performance were dihouhCSu " pV-
gin at midnight there would be a
few to straggle in at 1915.
II is a condition which will prob
ably always have TO be endured
Human nature cannot be changed.
II is a lack of considerateness which
is extremely annoying 10 those who
do reach the theater ahead of the
first curtain and who would be glad
