A young lady who sends a well written but rather
caustic letter of complaint to the Eagle, of the annoyance
to which she and others have been subjected
at times by the admission of infants in arms to Haverly's
Theatre matinees, expressed with considerable
force the irritation that she naturally feels. Of course,
if there is such a thing as good taste and appreciation
among the young men of Brooklyn,
our fair correspondent will some day
look a little more leniently upon the offenders,
and entertain a less marked admiration of King Herod
than she appears to feel, but at present she certainly
has reason on her side. The theatre is not a proper
place for young children. The poor little creatures
can certainly feel no pleasure in the performance, and
only thoughtlessness and selfishness on the parents'
parts can account for their pressence. What their own
sense fails to teach them the management ought to, by
prohibiting the admission of infants in arms, at all
events.
