The License of Modern Society

The license and liberty allowed by modern society is quite forcibly illustrated in the following incident as published in a recent number of the Washington Post:—
Walking up to the ticket window of a moving-picture theater, at Wilmington, Del., an excited individual informed the young woman ticket seller that his wife was in the theater with another man, and that he was going to kill both of them as soon as they came out. The ticket seller notified the manager of the theater, who mounted the stage and announced that a man was outside waiting to kill his wife and the man who was with her. The manager advised the couple to leave the theater by the rear exit, and within two minutes eleven couples had hurried from the theater by way of the back door.
