HOW TO BEHAVE
AT THE MOVIES :
BY KI.

On entering motion picture theater
make as much noise as possible. This
will advise those already seated that
you have really arrived.
On taking a seat push your elbows
out as far a possible When they
come in contact with those on each
side it will serve to teach your neigh
bors to make way when you arrive
These lessons cannot be taught too
vigorously.
If you fail to appreciate any part of
picture hiss loudly or shout rotten,
bum awful or some appropriate
word. This will prove you know
thing or two and by gum that you
aren't afraid to speak up.
In passing in front of others take all
the time you want and step on a foot
now and then. The others need stir
ring up occasionally.
When the comedies are shown don't
laugh at anything you see- Hearty
laughter is so vulgar.
Never applaud the fine things in the
pictures The management might sus-
pect that you enjoy them.
