But there is a much more economic and magnetic accompaniment, the before-mentioned buzzing commentary of the audience.

There will be some people who disturb the neighbors in front, but the average crowd has developed its manners in this particular, and when the orchestra is silent, murmurs like a pleasant brook.
Local manager, why not an advertising campaign in your town that says: "Beginning Monday and henceforth, ours shall be known as the Conversational Theatre"?
At the door let each person be handed the following card:-- "You are encouraged to discuss the picture with the friend who accompanies you to this place.

Conversation, of course, must be sufficiently subdued not to disturb the stranger who did not come with you to the theatre.

If you are so disposed, consider your answers to these questions: What play or part of a play given in this theatre did you like most to-day?
What the least?
What is the best picture you have ever seen anywhere?
What pictures, seen here this month, shall we bring back ?" Here give a list of the recent productions, with squares to mark by the Australian ballot system: approved or disapproved.

The cards with their answers could be slipped into the ballot-box at the door as the crowd goes out.
It may be these questions are for the exceptional audiences in residence districts.
