PARISH STREET SATURDAY.
NIGHT: Over at the Alain-
Theatre the other night a packed
house was present to witness the
showing of the picture For whom
the Bells Toll and amid some OF
the most touching scenes there
would come a sudden burst OF
giggling and laughter largely from
kids of primary and high school
age but not without quota OF
crown-ups who would ordinarily be
expected to know better.
We got to talking about the SUB
ject of why in our theatre amld
the most touching scenes OF sad
ness and suffering there is always
burst of giggling and laughter as
if witnessing some portrayal of high
and amusing.
1t was summed up when one fell
lows said that's the stuff we've
got to watch. As the sign of culture
is How We Do, What we Do and
How We Say, What We Say, the
only conclusion in this case is that
such out-buTsts are signs OF the
lack of culture which is the one
thing that people hold against us
most.
Our conduct IA public places is
the most easily seen by others and
we ought to keep on until it has
been raised far above what it is
in SO many instances from what
it is today AS one fellow said this
giggling and loud laughter by the
kids Of school age, and sitting in
the balcony with their feet hang
ing over the rail could be stopped
quickly along with other failures
character makeup of the kids if
the teachers in our school would
devote as little as five minutes a
day to the discussion of such things
with their talks interpreted with
a lot of 'donts' while going to the
point directly so that the kids
would understand so that the kids
low said before we got through
such extra -curricular effort on the
part of the teachers would do more
real good in a shorter time than
all the reading and writing and
arithmetic they teach during the
season.
