I wonder why plain paper bags,
Used day by day with mild urbanity,
At times have power to wreck our nerves
And fill our minds with wild profanity;
In hall or theatre one sits, :
Enthralled and thrilled by art’s sublimity,
But oh, how changed his mood may be
By paper bags in close proximity.
I wonder why the noted dramatic critic who recently paid
his disrespects to theatre nuisances, failed to mention those
most disturbiue rests of all, the paper bag rustlers; but of
course even the cleverest critics can’t be expected to remember everything.
We are all familiar with aper bag rustlers; in the words
of the old Irishman who believed in pixies, ‘“am’t we been annoyed with them?” Like the apostles of old, the P. B. Rs.
travel two by two; they come late to the theatre or music
auditorium, settle themselves fussily in the seats behind us,
and after engaging for several moments ina rambling and
quite audible conversation, proceed open crackley paper bags,
which contain cookies, candy, peanuts, or for all we know.
generous supplies of ham sandwiches. From that time on until the close of the performance, there is a constant crackle,
rustle, munch, crunch. and mumble. These wretched sounds
obscure every high point of the entertainment which you paid
good money to enjoy, and fill you with hot desires which have
no place in a peace loving mind.
Att last, when the time has come to go, you arise to the
final rustle and crack of paper bags being crushed into tight
wads and dropped u?on the littered floor, and go home with
temper touching new high and murder in your heart. That is
what paper bag rustlers can do to the most inoffensive and
well intentioned theatre goers. My disrespects to the B. P. Rs.
—may their tribe decrease.
I wonder how to choose one from among many similar
products, all of which are guaranteed by their radio god fathers, to produce exactly the same results. For example, we are
assured that numerous articles ranging from granulated potato chips to bottled sea foam will, if used for cleansing purposes, keep our hands soft and smooth and make the family
washing seven shades whiter than the neighbors; and_ that
scores of nostrums with curious names, have power to stop a
cold in its tracks and enable the addict to boast of crude and
robust health. All this is most interesting; but how is one to
make a choice?
Uncle Silas says: ‘‘Mussolini’s-speech of defiance may
have made deep im?ressions upon the minds of his supine followers, but at this distance, he sounded like an uneasy bully,
whistling to keep his courage up.

So carelessly cresendo!

In re ‘Life’: On the other hand
in St. Louis, Life was so severely
censured for its reprint. from the
film, ‘The Birth of a Baby,’ that
every issue on the newsstands was
recalled. Now this seems brainless
to us. We’ll admit the pictures ‘‘told
all’ on this most natural of nature’s
phenomenon, but at that the matter
was delicately and — intelligently
handled, and presented in such an
educational manner that we cannot
understand how anyone could object
to this correct and: scientific presentation of a subject the great majority of people are supremely curious and extremely ignorant about.
