There is something approaching a < nrtfade flfalnit 'he habit Indulgysl by ko many of talking continously and loud at .the movies, "Why should dfte be silent at the movie*," these tireless convert Ion - allsts ask. "\V?- are disturbing no one, as the screen pictures are not ac complished with spoken words." Hut they are wrong again. The.vi are dlfttUrblng every one witbiiV, sound of their voices. There are even more annoying noises than conversation. Some of these are the whistling in an obvious but not always successful attempt to follow the machine-made music or even the artistic music furnished by some shows and the beating of time with heel and toe on the floor, or on the hacks of seats. And there is. of eourse, the reading aloud of the "title.-" and ex pthrtations thrown on the screen. Some! of these Is necessary in case of the J blind or of the very young : hut it could be made' less annoying. Om? particularly Southern noise qf the movie* is the crunching of peanuts and other nuts, and the accompanying rattle and crackling of the paper bags. I Often the hulls of peanuts and other ! nut< arc strewn on the floor, to he !cri|shed beneath the feet with a dls jturhiiig noise and .'i fecltncr that otje ? is in baseball bleachers or attending .a wrestling bout In some obscure hall. Hut there is a kind of annoyance / hi' worse rh?n any ,of these. . the habit, more noticeable. wc fear, in the South than In other region^ due to oxir habit of elevating the AMI as much as possible. Those behind frequent 1\ thrust their feet through ?the space bet ween the seats, or tbclr knees against the back of the seAt administering a ceaseless series of lobs to one's spine and temper. , The first thing many persons do when they~3lt Is to* <douch as de<*ply Into the scat as possible, and thrust his or her knees into the back of the scat ahead. This makes it pleasant for the occupant of the seat that Is j being jostled and kicked about. And yet ? the movies could be made and kept a source of great enjoyment and n r?*a! benefit to the public.--?1 The State.
