Attending the theatre here, or
anywhere in America, is certain
ly different from the customs
practices followed in England.
Here we take for granted SER
vices Of an usher, printed pro-
gram, high prices for tickets, mo
smoking" signs, and certainly
we'd never dream of eating in
the theatre although we'd probab-
ly work on bag of popcorn or
peanuts, or a bar of candy at the
movies given a chance
In England, however, one al
ways tips the usher, a girl OF
lady, and purchases from her Q
printed program for two pennies
She will also take your order fol
tea or coffee and biscuits ano
deliver it to your seat during
intermission.
People all around you are more
often than not smoking and some
times the air gets so thick yov
wonder if you'll be able to see
the rest of the show.
The price of the ticket yol
bought for the show is never
more than one-half of what you'c
pay in New York or any othel
city of the United States anC
this is for the best orchestra seats
The language you hear on thu
English stage is free from pro
family and vulgarity, a welcome
accomplishment. Also in thu
shows l saw in London the girl
seemed fresher and prettier thai
our New York theatre type.

musical now playing at the beau

My enjoyment of 'Brigadoon,"
the story of a town in Scotland

view of the world only one day
every 100 years, was heightened

through the Scottish Highlands.
The authentic costumes, language
and dances made delightfully."-
different" show from most of
our modern productions which
seem to cater only to the risque
and vulgar.

DUCK GREEK PET
 DEER LEAVES FOR
 .GREENER PASTURE

Bambi, the one year old pet doe of the Duck Creek area, was flown to other pastures yesterday after a year of civilization. Bambi had be- come a familiar sight during the past year as she wandered at will around the Duck Creek neighbor- hood and was pet of most resi- dents.
 Lately, however, Bambi had de- veloped growing pains and had be- come rather cantankerous and dan gerous. George Troychak finally con- tacted Clarence J. Rhode, Regional Director of the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service, complaining that the deer had paved at children and was eating his garden. He said that Bam- bi had become a nuisance and a danger to the neighborhood and re- quested that she be removed.
 Rhode advised Troychak to cor ner the deer and notify him when that was done. The task was ac- complished yesterday and Rhode then took Bambi with him on his F&WS plane Which he was flying to Pelican. He said that the deer, who was tound tightly, kept its head un- der seat during the ride but when Rhode set it free on Chichagof Is- land near Lisianski Inlet, it didn't like the looks of that strange coun- try and tried to get back into the plane. After being repulsed several times by Rhode, Bambi got the idea and with leap and bound, disap- peared into the woods.
