HOT-TO-MOLLIE ....I went to a movie-talkie tonight. Prqtty good show for only 50 cents: in fact, it was easy worth 20 cents during t'hese times of bread-andsoup lines. The leading lady had a, brogue that was a cross betwixt Ya:ikee and Hottentot. Being a little bit deef, I never did find out what the plot was and why. . .. ..The leading man sang most of his stuff to the leading lady. He had the sick-calf act skint a block and the way he held his hand on his chist when he was reaching up for those high notes was something miserable. Whoever invented a show with singing what-you-want-to-say-to your sweetheart instead of talking it was a fit subject. ....Well, our money is gone, so let's forget it. But what I'd like to know is?why doesn't the theatre manager try to keep the temperature of his house more' comfortable ?

Within 10 minutes, or possibly 11 minutes. I realized that I was being roasted. It was surely *126 Fehrenheit plus Centigrade. My celluloid collar began to sizzle and, rather than start a stampede, I removed it before it blazed up. 1 then -unbuttoned my vest (called west in Philadelphia and Miami), and next I unfastened my shirt. ....About that time, I think the fireman shovelled in another half-ton of coke, and I unhooked my union suit and began to fan with my hat. The lady in front of me was sweating great goms of perspiration. Her tiny handkerchief was not absorbent enough, so she began to mop her neck and back with her little rayon ! shawl. Then 1 heard the furnace door open again and unbuttoned my britches at the waist, hut she only mopped somewhat faster. ....I don't think I ever before smelt; so many different kinds of flesh scorching at the same time in my life. ; I could tell that automobile median- ! ics were suffering because of the oil, odor, and the finest ladies in town were likewise being blistered, as the aroma of Madatm LaVouf's perfume floated about in the air, and then I smelt a blacksmith getting his, and there were also some farmers and some store clerks, but when the 2 legislators began to burn, I had to leave. It's bad enough to freeze to death, in a movie, but it's much worse to baked* attve in one. The ushers stood it all right because they could ran out and cool off every few minutes.
