for every such pessimist there are
a million optimists who declare that.

In this protest the candy eaters

Art Versus Appetite in THeate,- Controversy

London theaters and music halls
are involved in an unique three
cornered controversy thai threatens
to shake the foundations of stage
craft in that metropolis When the
war came TO Britain one of the his
toric privileges Of theatergoers was
withdrawn. That a majority OF the
playhouses were closed and that
theatergoers were either forbidden
at certain times or severely restrict
ed in their pastime was accepted
cheerfully by the patriotic inhabi
tant. The absence OF their favorite
stars and chorus girls from the foot
lights did not greatly disturb the
phlegmatic Britisher. But along
with these sacrifices sweets were
abolished or greatly cuTtailed be-
cause OF the scarcity OF sugar.
