Talk in the Park.

Source: Chicago Sunday Tribune, 19 May 1929, pt. 7, pg. 5.

My Dear Miss Tinée: I could shake John C. Cox by the hand and hug you for printing his letter.

Just why people who love to talk go to the theater is beyond me. It would be less expensive if they took their conversation to a park bench. This should include the pest who brings candy to the theater, paper rattlers, etc.

For the benefit of music lovers I would suggest that theaters add to their silence flash—

"Those who do not appreciate real music kindly refrain from disturbing those who do."

Sincerely,

EDNA M. STEARNS.
