How To Cope With Double Features
At last the problem of how to enjoy a four-hour double feature movie programme has been solved. j. J. Dougherty, health director of the American Schools Association, offers the following tips: Do not eat a heavy meal before entering the theatre. If you can shake off your shoes without too much embarrass-ment-do so. Do not wriggle-sit up straight but not too stiffly. Do not lean on your neighbour’s arm rest-it throws the body off balance. Do not wear tight collars. Take a brisk walk in the fresh air before entering the show. Clap your hands occasionallyyou'll find it relaxing. Don’t hesitate to cross your legs if you are more comfortable. If you can close your eyes for a few seconds without missing any action on the screen, do so once or twice. He forgot to add: "If you can close your eyes for four hours, and go to sleep, do so."
