IN A TURKISH THEATRE
A curious notice may be seen in one of the theatres of "Constantinople. It solves the -problem of people at t-lie back obtaining a- clear view, and is very much more radical than the polite request made in English and French theatres that ladies should remove their hats. The notice reads : "In order to render the performance agreeable to fill those present, the management- of the theatre has decided that the spectators of the first three rows should 1 be on their knees, and all the others- be standing up. In that way everybody will be able to enjoy the plav." This notice is followed by a note: "It is strictly forbidden to laugh, for it is a tragedy that is being performed."
