THE REFLECTOR 1- i - Theatre Menaces By Tunis De Yager, june, 1936 Were this a melodrama, it would tell of the country miss who became ensnared in the city while attempting fame on the stage. But, as you shall see, I merely wish to enumerate my own selfish grievances against this most popular of entertainments. It is unnecessary to mention the child in arms Who bursts out crying at the climax of the play. He is a world-wide menace. These are my own personal grievances. The first is the unbearable who drapes his collar-bones on the back of my seat and obligingly breathes with violence in my ear. He does this only when I am sitting upright. When I slump, he inserts his chin into my shoulder. The next is the cute little squirmy rascal who can't make up his mind whether he should stand in my line of vision or sit in his mother's lap with his feet pressed firmly in my ribs. I believe this fellow's little cousin is the one who eats the soft chocolate behind me. His mother, with malicious delight, draws out a candy bar. She unwraps half of it. It is wrapped, of course, in a crackly paper that barely drowns out the speaker's voice. The other half is to keep the child's fingers from becoming sticky. This is a poor excuse. She knows he'll grab the melt- ing chocolate. The child, young as he is, slyly waits until I drop my guard. Slumped though I may be, I am intent on the picture. He senses that the time has arrived, and, without further ado, he grasps my ear. Among the minor offenders, there is the boy to my left who wheezes, or perhaps whistles through his nose. He also occupies the entire arm of the seat. The incessant cougher or the loud nose-blower are the least offensive, in my opinion. I know that no one but myself has ever had any of these tryingexperiences, so I shall henceforth suffer in silence. My sole reason for writing this is to ease my own suffering by confiding it to another. The Village Crony By Margaret Schmitt, june '36 As slow of motion as a snail, He wanders down to the village store. The assembled philosophers resent his coming. Under his scraggly gray mustache He sucks a time-stained pipe, And puffs blue smoke away into nothingness, Between times, gossipping with every one who willg Or he debates the government's latest knowingly, Or else he just sits on an old barrel And watches every slightest detail With a truculent eye. 28
