THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
TO Tin: EDITOR 01' "THE TBESS." Sir, —"We have a fino .National Anthem with a great meaning. It was composed as a sacred hymn. May, I ask then, why it seems to be used by many persons who frequent the picture palaces, etc., in this city, as_ a signal to leave the building as quickly as possible, before the rest ol : the audience, who stand at their seats, can block up the doorways? While this btate of things continue", the plains of the National Anthem ;it the end of entertainments should be stopped. Yours, etc., • SMALL BOY. | January 25th, 1919. j
