Sunday is another day and doesn't
 care who knows 1t or what they ! think about 1t.
 For a number of years change | in the calendar has been advocated, calling for a revision of that ancient
 table to make each day of the month fall always on the same day of the week. The idea has never
 passed the stage of hypothesis. but
 now we seem to have another revi-
 sion by which each day of the
 week falls in the same sort of
 weather.
 Let us go the whole distance and
 rename the days, discarding old
 pagan titles. Instead of Monday.
 Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday.
 Friday, Saturday. Sunday let us
 have. respectively. Fair, Unsettled,
 Part Cloudy, Clear. Unsettled, Cloudy, and Rain.
 Judging from the past few weeks, these designations would be fully as dAu aDly LAOlC accurate. For why label Sunday a day on which we never sec that orb?
 So get out the family submarine and prepare for nice ride in the country tomorrow.
 Regular theater patrons who at- tend performances at Hartford playhouse where legitimate shows are offered observed a phenomenon this week-the return of the "boy and girl' audience. It is fact that young folks, generally speaking. have absented themselves from legitimate theaters for several sea- sons and seats have been occupied for the greater part by doddering grayheads and their wives. This was due to the radical increase in prices which went up right after the war and failed to come down. The girl and boy" audience has been absent ever since.
 Seeking a solution to the at tendance problem. the management OL tuC 1ldA tlOAu tHCulCA uSCAaCu that high prices were keeping the young people away. So 1t announced reduction for certain attractions. The respond was almost immediate. The "boy and girl" audience made its reappearance last Monday night, the first time the reduced scale of prices was in effect.
 It seemed refreshing to see the auditorium filled again with young men and their sweethearts. They also seemed to enjoy the novelty. Youth lends spontaneity to any gathering. It is the leven which keeps this world of ours in state of ferment. It Is particularly notice- able in a theater where old timers slouch down in their seats and defy the actors to make them laugh or make them cry. or make them do any of the things they have paid their money to be made to do. Along comes youth bubbling over with enthusiasm for life, whether 1t be real or on the stage. and the sit- uation changes The air becomes more electric. The party is . sue cess.
 The young man cannot be blamed for stunning the legitimate theater and seeking recreation at motion picture houses where prices are within the reach of all. If he is just starting out to make his mark in the world his income will not permit him to embark on the sea of high finance and give up a large share of his weeks pay for one visit to playhouse. not to mention a "bite for two' at restaurant be- fore or after the show. His pocket book could not stand the strain But with the reduction in prices he can feel more free to ask his sweet heart to "come. to show tonight" The young people profit because they enjoy an, evening of high class The theater owners profit because they are building up future patronage and good will even If the immediate financial return Is not any higher than under the former program of smaller audi ances at higher prices.
