She Missed the Seat.
Mrs. J. V. Percal, of Cleveland, Ohio, found the film play featuring her favorite movie hero had just started when she entered a downtown theater Sunday.
And the theater was a bit darker than usual.
She made her way to a seat, removed her hat, and started to pin it to the back of the seat in front of her, all this with her eyes fixed on the opening scene of “The Avenging Hand.”
A man sitting in front of her jumped like a scared cat and yelled, “Wow!”
“When I jabbed the hatpin through my hat, I must have missed the back of the seat,” explained Mrs. Percal.
“What did the man say?”
“Oh, mercy! Please excuse me.”
