Ice-Creams In Theatres
Sir, —It is bad enough to have to endure, at all times and in all jlaces, the perpetual sucking and licking of ice-creams and whatnots that appear to constitute the paramount urge of the juvenile population; but far worse when the ordinary business of a grocer’s establishment is temporarily paralysed by a gang of youngsters clamouring to sustain life by a further supply of lickage and suckage. Is the demand so vital and inordinate that milkbars and fruit stores cannot cope with it? A no less unpleasing aspect of this gastronomic preoccupation is the probability of being surrounded, at a cinema or theatre, by the agglutinative noises of countless busy little tongues and the adhesive potentialities of sticky Angers. Smoking in such places is rightly banned, and “Time for a . . .’’ is a wise provision. Why not “Time for an ice-cream”?— Yours, etc., NON-LICK. April 26, 1957.
