I thinkif Manager ‘ville bas not the force to clear the vestibale | of these /ady killers, he should call on our super- intendent of police for men enough to throw them out on their heads, as they deserve. Iam afraid I shall be called upon some time to come before Judge Snell for making the attempt to throw them out myself—that is, if they ever make use of any vulgar expression in regard to any lady accompanying me,as I have heard them do of others. trying to dispense with this nuisance for us, Mr. Editor, many lov®rs of the Theater will be indebted to you.
