A stickler for accuracy or a would- be humorist may - ',tell them .the show isn't; going' anywhere, but he will fail to make his point.. The show "goes in" every Saturday af- ternoon, and no one can tell them it doesn't. The cashier attempts to line them up 'back, from the doors to prevent accidents. A friendly scuffle can easily send a flying knee or elbow through one of the. thin panes of glass, with gory re- sults. The doorman drives up and is hailed with cheers "Now we'll get in." He greets them with a smile but they must wait a little longer. They can work off their extra steam outdoors until about twenty minutes before showtime., The rest of the staff arrives, the candy bar is stocked and the popcorn boxes folded. The mat- ron stands readyto prevent the line-up jamming at the wicket, as the first comers rarely have their money ready, The doors are un- locked and a shout arises. "The show's going in!" The lush is on and the money is wildly flung down, change snatched and taken to the candy bar. One little lad appears in the line-up clutching a box of popcorn and five "twisters," a full 15c worth, and bestows a dime on the cashier with an engaging smile. "Where's the rest of your mon- ey?" she asks. "That's all the money they gave me over there," he explains virtuously. Exchanging a glance of resig- ned amusement withthe matron, the 'cashier attempts to explain that, if he had 25 cents to start with, he should have bought his ticket first and spent his change on candy afterward. But to a five-year-old this is a distinction without a difference. He accepts a 13 cent ticket in exchange for his dime and moves on. Even in the interests of balan- cing'the receipts it is seldom wise to insist on a missing penny or two from the youngest patrons. A flood of uncomprehending tears does neither side any good, and the next one will in all probabil- ity slam down 15c and dash off without his two cent change in his haste to secure a front sea:. Or a little girl who has been left off with a penny shortage a week or so before will bring it when next she comes, explaining earn- estly that she owes it. The traffic patrol boys come in past the procession of paying customers. They display their badges to, the doorman with the aplomb of veteran G-men. Each one does a fine job of patrol on the streets but in the Roxy's dark- ened auditorium he is as much of a hazard as any other small boy. And is just as likely to have a concealed weapon to use against unwary seat -mates. This tenden- cy is firmly suppressed, but the staff is secretly amused by the easily -shed gallantry which es- corts little girls across the street on weekdays, only to basely shoot them in the back on Saturday." The rush at the box office slack- ens and the matron moves into the crowded aisles. The noise is cleat - ening, but is not checked so long as everyone is happy. Seat kick- ing and piercing whistles are frowned upon and the matron is kept busy confiscating peashooters and water pistols. The project- ionist upstairs keeps his loudest heard above the din. Soft sooth- ing music: would be wasted 'on Saturday afternoon: At last—the lights dim and the cartoon appears on the screen, The children let loose a roar of approval that shakes the rafters and the show is on. ..- The cartoon holds them spell- bound, but the news reel gets scant ,attention. `Some of them wander out to ask "When' does the real picture start?" A little girl ruefully smoothing her, pret- ty' skirts comes out to tell the doorman "There's "a boy in there with a water gun." The offend- ing gun is tracked down and re- moved and peace is restored. No matter how enthralling the "real picture" proves to be, the little ones are weary long before' it is over. The doorman frequent- ly has a couple, of, them on his lap and several more around his chair. • Finally the show ends with the Natienal Anthem and the lights go up. The children dash for the door, just as eager to be first out as they were to be first in, Saturday matinee at the Roxy is over for another week.
