REGENT THEATRE SEAFORTH NOW PLAYING Charles Bickford 'preSien Foster The Storm Barton MacLane THE T E R 1AET 4 O x Mr, titter; Dear Sir; — In answer to the letter which ap- peered in the mailbox lash week I wish to say that the purpose of my letter which appeared two weeks previous to that date was to point out what was wrong with dances. My intention, was •bb help them but It is quite apparebtt •that they can- not see It that. way. An Observer says that if anyone was refused admission to dance it mush have been that he could not find a partner to dance with. Being refused admtissdon to a dance means that you weren't allowed inside the door. While being refused ,Per mission to dance means that a paant- ner was asked but the offer was refused. An Observer asks the readers of the Post, could you blame a girl for refusing t1 dance with a man who is twice her age? You naturally understand that the girl is there to dance. 1f the man couldn't do the dance or wa.e under the influence of drink I should certainly exouse her. 2nd that the only thing he knew about round dancing was to step on. his partners toes. He goes' on to say that I shouldn't expect a girl to teach me to danee in a hall with a bunch like that watching. I wonder if he wrote this part of the letter? It he sew as much as he .says ho did, he cer- tainly didn't see me ask any girl to do a round dance or teach ere either, That clears up the question of stepping on my partners' 'toes An Observer asks• us where were our girl -friends? He says the boys go and never think or trying to help by seeing ,that the girls get there. However in the next paragraph tae answers ,his own .question -by saying if we did bring girls who didn't be- long to their gang welt :it would be just too bad for the girls as nobody except the one nvho brought them there would dare- with them. Any one who reads thio, letter may quite readily understand why no girls taken. A year ago last fall two young girls were working on ,farms near Cranbrook, Both girls were musical and bath of these girls good dane- ers. One of these girls has pang over the radio, 'They went to the fist dance at .4ranbrook but b'e- caus'e they were strangers no one danced much with them. Both giri9 said they had: a rotten time, just one dance ell night. It you really want to holth dances why don'•t you ap- point four young people, tevo boys and two girls who attend the dances regulkrly, whose duty it is to see that people outside your own gang are made' welcome and get partners to dance with, There are a few Young people in the, community who would like to learn. to dance and who have no other place to learn except in the drag, I always under- stood Chet was what the hall was intended for. I notice that An Observer says that I am ignorant and such a thing is quite poselb)e but you can be ignorant and wilting to learn. There is a story told which fits the opposite type, about the ladies and knights watching the wild beasts. On lady In order to show haw brand her lover was reproved her glove throwing it far out among the rearing lions. Without hesita- tion he leaped the wall and rescued the glove throwing it right in the ladies face, list love said he, but vanity setts love a task like that.
