Silence and Fun at the Movlea.
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
