"I Wish to Register..."

Source: Chicago Sunday Tribune, 11 October 1914, pt. 7, pg. 7.

Dear Miss Tinée: I wish to register a "vurry" serious objection to the music doled out to us in some of the moving picture theaters. I was recently compelled to leave a house where splendid pictures were being shown because the discords perpetrated by the man at the piano nearly made me jump out of my skin. If they will give us music let it be music, not caterwauling.

NOT A DYSPEPTIC.
