Kind patrons of the AUDIENCE are encouraged to cheer for
the stalwart HERO, sigh for the virtuous HEROINE, boo and hiss the deeds
of the dastardly VILLAIN, and otherwise applaud, stomp, whistle, sob, and
gasp in enthusiastic SUPPORT of the triumph of GOOD over evil, INNOCENCE
over debauchery, and TEMPERANCE over Demon Rum: but all, of course, will
comport themselves with the appropriate decorum as befits LADIES and GENTLEMEN
Do not expectorate on the floor! Do not stand an the
chairs! Do not rush the stage before the curtain drops!
