“10$ each,” he report with tickets.
“Why should your price be so immodest?” I snagger.
“This are an immodest play,” he snudge. “Also we must charge extra for this performance because the author will be arrested after Act II.”
I knew we could see just a.m.ch wickedness for less cash money, so we walk onwards. On side-up street we see sign which say:
The Limit!
Abundantly Worst!!
At this play we obtain sitting-room price 3$ each, which were deliciously cheap for so much sin. When we got inside there I obtain program, which was useless for my Aunt Taki, who do not understand American language, but can blush plenty in Japanese. Following words was on program:
Evil Characters Represented
| J. W. Wineblower | Vice-President of Vice Trust |
| Mrs. Lillian Lorelei | A Temptation |
| Venus | A poor shop girl |
There was many others on that program which I did not have time to see because Hon. Curtain go uply amidst Rector music. The scenery was red like it was blushing for itself. And there sat Hon. Mrs. Lorelei removing shoes while smoking opium. Pretty soonly one of her husbands encroach in and complain that Hon. Janitor has been putting too much water in his morphine this week. Knock-knock by door. Hon. Police arrive in and accept bribery. Amidst considerable talk about purity Hon. Miss Venus arrive in and say she cannot obtain sifficient vice for 4$ weekly in department store where she work. Therefore she have come. I shall tell you the rest when I can whisper....
Mr. Editor, when Act I were finished up my Aunt Taki Kati smell a bottle of Japanese salts for take the taste out of her nose. She say that if America was like this Japan must annex it before it decayed. She say her oldmaidenhood were insulted by that sight and she was sure she must die dead from shocks.
