Etiquette of
the Theatre

TT Is always good form to be
short and impertinent with
the man in the box Office. If
you can be sufficiently insulting
you are almost certain to get the
best seats.
1t is always we'll to have all
arguments with the wife while
sitting in the theatre. She Is far
away from her household weap-
ons and you are reasonably safe.
And your family quarrel Is al
ways sure to be Of absorbing In
terest to people around you who
are trying to enjoy the show.
The man should always pre-
cede the lady down the aisle
while going to the seats, as this
Is about the only occasion now
adays when any man can get
ahead of his wife.
If you have seen the play be-
fore 1t is always we'll to an
nounce this fact loudly as many
times as possible and to predict
In advances Just what Is going to
happen. This relieves many
others In the audience of the
necessity of keeping their minds
on the stage.
II you have seats on the aisle
It Is always the best form to go
early SO others will have to climb
over you, and II you have seats
in tho interior 1t Is always best
to 70 late so you will have to
climb over eight or ten other
people.
You should always remember
that neighborhood gossip Ii al
ways intensely interesting to the
strangers who sit In front Of you
and that they have bought thea
tre tickets for tho express pur-
pose of listening to It al the
evening.
If you 20 on complimentary
tickets knock the show. This
shows that you are thoroughly
