Show SOLDIERS IMPROVE AMUSEMENT TASTE i Tommy Atkins Tires of Wearers of Skirts That Start Too Low and Terminate Too Soon. LONDON, Dec. 9. Tommy Atkins's tastes in amusements have been revolutionized revo-lutionized since he came to France. He has seen enough of ribald revues, performed by ladies whose dresses start too low and finish too high. He is fed up with inanity and vulgarity, so he is clamoring for nigh literary drama. One soldier in France in a letter to Sir Sidney Lee says: Somehow many people seem to think there is no room or place for good drama or anything of serious purpose. Personally I rind that anywhere any-where really good stuff "goes" in spite of those who think soldiers only want drivel. Sometimes one meets men who care for those things, and then tho day is a red-letter red-letter one. This is my 'second autumn au-tumn out here, and somehow I manage man-age to cart around my Shakespeare, and if sometimes it is left behind for a while, then my memory is fairly good and I browso there. |
