Attention is also invited to the restriction of the ma agement that no one will b: allowed 1> leave the premises durimg intermission. Correspondence. Cnristiansted, Feb. 5, 1921, The Editor of the Avis, Dear Sir:- In the advertisement of th: Christiansted Theatre appearing in fo- day’s issue of your esteemed paper, the public is informed that “‘on aceount of impossibility to control the tickets du-- ine :ntermission NO EXIT, will be al- lowed during intermission, ‘‘which is to say the personal liberty of every man, woman, and child who patronises Christiansted Theatre and pays for ad- mission thereto, is restricied and the) deprived of the right of going out when it pleases him, or her, or when it may be absolutcly necessary so to do. Such a rule does not exist at any theatre in Europe or America, and does not obtain in Denmark, the place of nativity of the proprietor of the theatre, nor in the United States of which these is- lands are a part. It seems very strange that all of a sudden there should be such a failure to contro! the tickets, and it may well be asked, how were they controlled for all the years the theatre. has been in operation ? What was H_ing done all this time ? And does the proprietor of the theaire be- lieve honestly that any people slip in after intermission who have not paid? The house is usually so packed that it can hardiy ever hold more. If there is anything in rhis about '‘con- trol,”” then all that should be done is to establish a better =ystem of control, but not encroach on the right ot 2 Dzopie who are the life ard mainstay of this only place of amusement. Is their patronage worth nothing that they shall like bonds en be locked in to suit personal purposes? It is rumored that Mr. Ritzberg hard by the theatre has set up 2 nice room with cool drinks efc., and is underselling the theatre bar! hem! hem! Hasn’t this got something if not all to do with it? Is the manager of the theatre the only one” who shall exist? This matter shculd be looked into by the au- thorities for it is not kndwn that the & i theatre has accomodation for all the peo- ple it can hoid wno may have to go out. ~ We look for a recall of this drastic step by the management-of the theatre and hope the above will prove the reas- onableness of the public reeliug in re- gard thereto.
