On je a great place for study+ a cold, wintry night there is Ho more fascinating spot in this great eity than a cozy Broadway ‘movie’ with iis happy crowd The first thing that impresses me is the spaciousness of the New York How big it is! How beautifully itgs planned The seats are low and comfortable. They invite repose. No dislocations of the spinal vertebrae There is a foot rest too. No backaches, Neat comes the music. Surely no heavenly choir could give forth more organ of the typical New York moving The clear, living notes of the “vox humana” reverberating through the scented peace of the building seem to waft one far from the noisy city into the realms of dreams! At thé conclusion of a hard-fought afternoon the tired shopper seeks 4 for a quiet moment in Paul's Cathedral to hear the blessed notes of Evensong.

Alway@# has the New York audience been the most emotional, After pathetle incidents the New York audience will frankly drop a tear or show an eye that glistens sympathetically, Sighs, sniffs, the use of pocket handkerchiefs, a tenseness in the atmosphere—these little its: | signs will manifest themselves. In London—nothing of the sort! ‘To the pathos of a moving picture story the Londoner is, apparently, just as hard as bricks! Your true Britisher—although he feels it just as keenly-—would die sooner than show the slightest symptom of emotion under the public eye, ‘The London moving picture palace, though, is not without romance, In fact, the romantic tendencies of the Londoner sometimes carry him further (when he considers himself unseen) than his transatlantic cousin ts carried. For instance, in London,.in the less aristocratic movie palaces, I have seen the intriguing sign: “Gentlemen will kindly refrain from putting their arms around th‘ waists of ladies.” New York, apparently, is more jenient—or more discreet. pulled out, Little cave.
