It v.a- always the custom, even in the nsent days of the spoken “drama." to hiss the villain when lie appeared for his curtain call: hut iM'J'ina the many traditions of the stage which the vogue of motion pictures has destroyed is this time-hon-onred feeling that the br.d man of the pltty is really a vety naughty gentlomtiu.
