controls the Gayety, has decided upon
a radical departure, to take effect at
the beginning of next season. 1t Is a
we'll known custom to permit smoking
in all parts Of burlesque theaters. For
many years this was not considered
Objectionable, as the audiences were
composed almost entirely Of men. But
in recent years the patronage Of
women has prompted the Cleaning
up" of burlesque shows. and the de-
cision to eliminate smoking, except
in the balconies and boxes. has been
made. in order to reserve a portion Of
the -theater for those who object to
the fumes Of tobacco. It has been
decided also to eliminate the candy
butcher and the advertising cur
tain, as soon as existing contracts
with venders and advertising curtain
concerns expire. which will be in the
near future.
1t is realized that burlesque has
grown away from the old conditions
and that the changed character Of its
patronage demands an environment
