Show That Behavior. Elitors ncrald: Reading an article iu tbe Ecemng Ketns dated the 17th instant, headed "Rude Behavior," I would like to occupy a brief space in your paper in order to explain. Being one of "the party" and in order to make it better, understood to the public, I wish to "mention names." "The weBt side box," or Box B, waa engaged by myself my-self and wife the day before the performance. On entering tbe box, on the evening ef the performance (Miss Adams' benefit,) we found Misa White and her mother occupvine it. I went to tbe box office to ascertain what the "mistake" "mis-take" was. I found that tbe above mentioned ladies bad no right to it, and kindly told them they had better occupy some other box, tbey having entered the theatre through the stage door without paying and wire placed in the box by Johnny White. As to the "notorious femala" ) tnrowing the cloaks and shawls ol the lady ocoupama upon tbe floor," it is false. On tbe con-, con-, trary, the lady occupauta refused to leave their seat a until told a second ' time the box was engaged, and in their haele and anger lelt their bouquetB and opera glasses behind. If the conduct con-duct of ladies who come in at tbe back door of a theatre in order to avoid paying lor tbe benefit of a friend, ia to be upheld aud a lady who payB for the box is to be slandered, what ia to become of tbo management of the theatre? The above article is to explain that there was no vulgar intrusion or any "disgracetul occurence," but only a vivid imagination of the News informer. in-former. The occupants of the box were Mr. and Mrs. Maeder, Mr. and Mrs. Crosbie. Youra truly, W. 0. CftCSBlE. |
