M. DE LA VEGA

Santurce, P. R., Sept. ID, 1928.
Sr. Director de Ell MUNDO,
San Juan.
Muy senor mio Y amigo:
Me permito escribirle estas lfneas
para lamar la atencion hacia la ma
la costumbre que parece tienen va
rios "graciosos" tirando papeles, en-
forma de voladores,. desde la galerfa
de nuestro teatro Municipal.
Aparte de la mala impression que
tai acto causa, demostrando clara
mente carencia absolute de cultura
y marcada falta de respeto la So
ciedad, especialmente a nuestras da-
mas, existe el gravisimo peligro que
uno de esos voladores venga a po-
sarse en- un ojo de un expectador,
cuyas .consecuencias serian desas-
trosas.
Yo estoy SECURE que-como en- to-
das parties Gel mundo-existe aquf
una ordenaaza municipal que prohi-
be terninantemente arrojar papeles
desde las galerias de los teatros, por
10 que me sorprende sobremanera no
Sc haga cumplir. Velando por ell
buen non1bre de San Juan, ruego en-
carecidamente las Autoridades re-
medic el NAL que apunto, cuanto
antes, va que, de otro modo, sufrira
muy mucho nuestro prestigio de pue
bio culto civilizado.
