 AT THE MOVIES

The movies would be alright if it weren't for the inevitable people in | back of one. They seem to be sitting there for the sole purpose of removing all the joy and knowledge that might be gained from a picture. It is not necessary to enjoy a play only with the kind of silence that is spoken of, i that a pin could not be heard if it fell, that would be appalling, and is not de- sired, but just comparative peace.
 There are so many different topics | that are discussed at the theatre, it is a problem to know just what form of torment is going to befall one. The most popular is conversationalist fiends The moment that they resume their seat after the Star Spangled Banner" they begin for the evening until the last beam fades. They never allow any sort of emotion that is de- picted upon the screen to interrupt them, go right on talking through the most tragic parts. They can talk an entire evening upon any subject, but | the most favored is the subject, disease ! in all its forms, symptoms and effects. With wide experience along these lines, never emitting a detail and re- | lating each pain from the moment they were taken ill until the all supreme moment of coming out from under the ether. Then too in every single case | it is the very worst case of its kind that the doctors have ever seen.
 Some one has called these people conversation hounds, and another ac- cident that occurs with startling fire quency is having the misfortune to sit in front of two people who have not met for some time. This entails a long disclosure of an almost entirely local nature, of the recent deaths births, and marriages of their friends and relatives. Theda Bara may vamp and Bill Hart may fight but nothing so trivial could engage their thoughts and the most baffling mystery imagina ble is why it could possibly interest any one present.
 Another variety of an annoyance that often ruins a whole evening is the nuisance who acts as interpretel to whoever they may be with. It is an insult to ones intelligence to have leach line read and explained as vel as the fact that it leaves the poor un fortunate who is being explained to il the light of a mental delinquent. They then go ahead and tell the story as { though it would not very soon be un raveled before their very eyes and : speculate as to the end if they have not read the book or viewed it before The climax never comes for them fol they are too busy saying, q told you sO." This type is the most familiar of all provoking movie fans.
 Then one of the most entertaining of all the people who sit near are those that know all the inside life of . an actor, that Mary Pickford isnt nearly so demure as she looks, they whisper, that they know Douglas Fair banks personally, that the leading lady used to be a chorus girl and that hel hair has been dyed because they used to see her when she was a brunette And of the scandals concerning Glen it could not be all told in one evening it would seem but they get along pret ity well, for only having a few hours.
 Then the people that always see the Iplay through a blur of wrong impres sions, they come in during the middle of the show and every one must move anu llldhG VI dsf W AAilE AiAtg OAfoAl tA't tAAN view of some enc who is especially en thused and looks extremely unpleas ant as though you were deliberately planning not to let them see again dur ing the evening. These people guess at the characters and speculate as tC just who is who. They even get mixed as to what the play is whether tho comedy or the feature.
 Then the young things that seem tC feel as though they must hold hands and murmur soft things to each other And everything reminds them of some thing in their own lives. They always behave as though they were the only ones present
 Of course a certain amount of talk ing is to be expected, but not the de tails of the ills of life figuratively and literally discussed and commented up On The movie is a recreation and a pastime not a gadfest.
